正确答案：(正确答案： Education Fever From the graph above, we can easily observe that family spending on education in China has a steady increase in the past decade, with the number reaching 983 billion in 2013, which nearly triples the number in 2004. Many factors contribute to the ever-increasing education spending, "letting children win at the starting line" being one of them. Many parents spend a lot of money on pre-school education. They try to send kids to the best kindergartens whose tuition fees are much higher than that of universities. Choosing better primary and middle schools also takes money. Normally, students must attend schools within the district where they live. However, many parents prefer to send their children to a better-known school in other districts regardless of the large sum of "donations". Apart from formal education, parents also pay their children for various after-school programs, from common painting or dancing classes to expensive overseas summer camps. There is nothing wrong with parents' passion for education, but parents should keep in mind that spending more money doesn't necessarily guarantee a better education for children. Money should be put where it matters most.)
