2．A new book written by a Chinese American on her super-strict parenting-"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother"has raised fierce debates in the US．
Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls．She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants．In the Chinese culture，the tiger represents strength and power．In her book，Ms．Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters．Chua writes that her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to go on a date，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games．They couldn't choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play the piano or violin-and no other musical instruments．
She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B-which she says"would never happen"-there would be"a screaming，hair-tearing explosion．"She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly-yelling，not letting her leave the bench and even using the bathroom-until it was．
Many people have criticized Amy Chua．Some say her parenting methods were abusive （虐待的）．She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objected to her parenting style．But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters．
Stacy Debroff，who has written four books on parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families．She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants 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．Stacy Debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised．
Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus，says，"I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life．But I can imagine how strong her daughters'college applications are going to be．For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，devoted parental guidance，"Lo says，"In that sense，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made．"

27．We can learn that Amy Chua isD．
A．an assistant professor      B．an easy-going woman
C．a cruel teacher            D．a demanding mother
28．What do you know about Amy Chua's husband？B

6．Some musicians used to give performances in pubs or clubs before they become famous．

16．We often hear people talking about a generation gap （代沟）．The name is new，but the idea is old．Young people and their parents don't understand each other．The world has always kept changing．During the second century after Christ a wise man said，"Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down．"
There has always been a gap between generations，but more people talk about it now．Old Mr．Ellis thinks he understands what has happened．
"When I was a boy，I thought the world was a beautiful place．My life was very pleasant．But when I was older，I learned about people who were treated badly，people who didn't have enough to eat．I wanted to help them，and I married a girl who wanted to help them，too．We went to meetings and talked a lot，but it didn't seem to make much difference．"
"Our children grew up in a world at war．They didn't know when the fighting would stop．They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys．They didn't want to think about the future．They thought nothing could be done about it．"
"Now I have grandchildren，and they have their own ideas．They are trying to make the world better．They are trying to help other people．They're making people listen to them．I am proud of their generation．"

3．As tomato season comes，we can clearly realize that tomatoes offered in supermarkets all the year round can't compare with those that are just picked．After all，the rule of keeping tomatoes fresh is not to refrigerate（冷藏）them，which means that any tomato transported from far away will never be as good as one that is just picked．
Researchers from the U．S Department of Agriculture say they're found an easy way to keep supermarket tomatoes tasting great：Heat them up first．"To produce a better tasting tomato，we added a hot water pre-treatment step to the usual rule that growers follow，"Professor Jinhe Bai said．"We found that this pre-treatment step prevents flavor loss because of being stored in refrigerators．"
Because tomatoes often have a long way to go between being picked and reaching the supermarket shelves，farmers have to pick them while the fruit is green．The tomatoes are kept at a cold 41to 55degrees Fahrenheit during their trip to the store，which keeps them from producing enough enzymes（酶）that give tomatoes their smell and flavor．But when Bai and his team let green tomatoes sit in a bath of hot water for a few minutes，the tomatoes produced large amounts of the enzymes，keeping them tasty even after refrigeration．
The method isn't even the only one his group has experimented with．Growing green tomatoes with a kind of special oil or treating green tomatoes with a gas might also keep them fresh without having to be stored in refrigerators．
Bai even admits that refrigerated tomatoes can't hold a candle to fresh ones．"Generally，tomatoes should be picked when they turned completely red and then sold immediately，"Bai says．
32．The method of keeping tomatoes fresh is toD．
A．put them in a bag with other fruits
B．add some special oil to refrigerators
C．wash them in hot water before eating them
D．put them in hot water before refrigerating them
33．Many green tomatoes are picked early to make sureD．
A．they can be easily stored
B．they taste better than red ones
C．they can be sold at a good price
D．they are still fresh in supermarkets
34．Why do tomatoes become less delicious after being kept in refrigerators？A
A．They don't produce enough enzymes．
B．The temperatures are not low enough．
C．The refrigerators also store other foods．
D．The flavor changes easily in closed spaces．
35．What can be inferred from Bai's words in the last paragraph？D
A．It's better to grow tomatoes by ourselves．
B．It's convenient to store tomatoes in refrigerators．
C．It's necessary to hold a candle when picking tomatoes．
D．It's impossible to keep tomatoes as fresh as they're just picked．

20．Have you ever been to a national park like Yellowstone，Yosemite or Glacier？How about the moon？
That's a trick question，of course．First of all，if you're a kid，I'm absolutely certain you've never been to the moon．After all，only a dozen grown-ups have ever walked on the moon's surface．And the last one did it in 1972．Second，the moon is not a national park．But if two US women get their way，it might become one．Eddie Johnson and Donna Edwards have introduced a bill that would create the Apollo Lunar Landing Sites National Historic Park．
Why should a park be on the moon？After all，you can't just get into a car and drive there on vacation．But in the not-so-distant future，you might be able to fly there．Private companies are working on ways to transport tourists to the moon．And there are concerns that some careless visitors might mess up some of the historic sites up there-sites such as the astronauts'footprints and other things they left behind．
Some people think the bill is a good idea．"It's a good idea because the moon's environment is very fragile，"said David Paige，a scientist．"Any disturbance to the soil there will last for millions of years．"
But others think it's kind of silly．For one thing，how are you going to make sure that the moon's historic sites are truly protected？After all，there are no park rangers to enforce the law up there．And there's another big problem：the moon does not belong to the United States-or any other country，for that mater．So in order for the United States to create a national park on the moon，it would need to get permission from lots of other countries．And that might not be as simple as it might sound．
Still，Johnson doesn't consider her bill frivolous．"I don't think that there is anything far-fetched about protecting and preserving such items and such a place，"she said．
26．What is the function of the two questions asked in the first paragraph？A
A．To introduce the topic the author wants to say
B．To remind the readers to pay attention to the technology
C．To introduce a special national park on the moon．
D．To help develop the readers'interest in national parks．
27．According to David Paige，B．．
A．tourists are not allowed to disturb the soil on the moon
B．creating a national park on the moon will be meaningful
C．a national park will be created on the moon sooner or later
D．the moon's environment will be ruined after tourists arrive
28．Those who are against this bill think thatB．
A．other countries should be invited to build a national park on the moon
B．the Us government have no right to build a national park on the moon
C．more visits to the moon will certainly ruin the historic sites
D．policemen should be sent to the moon before tourists arrive
29．It is implied in the passage thatD．
A．many people have been to the moon since 1972
B．the purpose of the bill is to promote space travel，

A．serious
B．foolish
C．wasteful
D．sensitive．

1．Last Saturday，my 8-year-old son，Chase，and I were shopping in a supermarket．Chase was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I collected．I handed him a bag of tomatoes and he walked over to the scale（天平）and waited patiently in line．Suddenly，an old man walked up behind Chase，and stepped before him，bumping（撞击） Chase out of the way．Chase looked shocked and scared．Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Chase，saying loudly，"Are you all right，honey？I saw what that man did to you．That was very，very wrong．"
When the man finished weighing his bag，he turned around too quickly and all of his onions spilled out of his bag and onto the dirty floor．The three of us froze for a moment．Then I got down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions while the old man accepted them from my hands and put them back into his bag．After Chase and I retrieved（取回） all the onions，the old man walked away．We didn't discuss the event until we got back in the car．
On the way home，Chase said through tears，"Mommy，I've a frustrating day．That man cut right in front of me．And we had to help him pick up his onions!Why did we do that？That didn't make any sense．"
I took a deep breath and said，"Chase，that man seemed to have a very bad mood today．We should forgive him．I was also angry with that man for treating you rudely．I really wanted to kick him．But doing that doesn't make any sense．If we hadn't helped that old man，we might have felt good for a moment，but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time．You and I have a lot of love to share．Maybe that man doesn't have much．People who behave badly still need love．"
A cheerful smile appeared on Chase's face．It was a smile of a promise kept．It was the best smile I have ever seen．God，it was a good moment．It may have been my best mommy moment ever．
