  Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend.

  Had it not been for a confident wife, Sophia Peabody, we might not have listed among the great names of literature(文学)the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home in the middle of June 7, 1849 to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customs house, she surprised him with a cry of joy.She said simply, “Good.Now you can write your book.”

  “Yes, ”replied the man, with a sad voice, “and what shall we live on while I am writing it?”

  To his amazement, she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial(充实的)amount of money.

  “Where on earth did you get that?”he exclaimed(惊叫).

  “I have always known you are a man of genius(天才),”she told him.“I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece.So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I saved a little bit.So here is enough to last us for one whole year.”

  Hawthorne began to write his most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter(红字)relentlessly(不屈不挠地)that autumn with the full support of Sophia, who painted decorative fire screens and lampshades(灯罩)for her sister Elizabeth to sell in Boston.

  From his wife's trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letterin 1850.Hawthorne read the final pages to his wife.He wrote, “It broke her heart and sent her to bed with a grievous(令人忧伤的)headache, which I look upon as a triumphant(胜利的)success.”

  The Scarlet Letter, or his wife, allowed Hawthorne to devote himself to his writing later.

  Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with those in China and other countries.But how much do the parents themselves need to change?

  A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting.In Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power.In the book, Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.She said that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do, such as attending a sleepover, having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.

  Many people have criticized Amy Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive(辱骂的).She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style.But she says that it was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.

  Ms.Chua makes fun of her own extreme style of parenting.She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted, “I hate my life! I hate you!”

  Ms.Chua says she decided to retreat when it seemed like there was a risk that she might lose her daughters.But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities.“One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility(脆弱),” she said.

  “The beginning of this intense discussion has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy Debroff, who has written four books about parenting.

  Ms.Debroff says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants(移民)seeking a better future for their children.

  But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacey Debroff advises parents to develop their own styles of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.

(1)

Amy Chua has been criticized mainly because ________.

[  ]

A.

she looks up to boys and down on girls

B.

she has already abused her right as a parent

C.

she hasn’t raised her children like her own parents

D.

she has fought with her children several times

(2)

Which can best describe Ms.Chua according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

Uneducated.

B.

Cruel.

C.

Strict.

D.

Strong.

(3)

According to Ms.Debroff, ________.

[  ]

A.

Amy Chua’s parenting style should be banned(禁止)in China

B.

Amy Chua’s should stop to adopt American parenting styles

C.

Amy Chua’s parenting style should be adjusted if possible

D.

There isn’t any advantages in Amy Chua’s style

(4)

What does the underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 5 mean?

[  ]

A.

Give in.

B.

Pass away.

C.

Cry out.

D.

Go ahead.

(5)

What should be the best title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

Some books on studying styles.

B.

The disadvantage of Chinese parenting styles

C.

Differences between western and eastern parenting styles

D.

The comparison between American and Chinese parenting styles

  It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland's oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education.A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers.Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women's Day.

  The document was discovered buried in the university archives(档案)by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research.She said:“We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus(校评议委员会)at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn't know documentary evidence existed.While searching the archives for information about the university's higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.”

  In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews.Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women.The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students.It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.

  Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874.She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877.Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.
