A debate has been caused by a new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother about Chinese-style tough parenting in the US by Amy Chua. She is also a mother of two.
Chua describes the child-rearing methods she used with her daughters. She said they would seem unimaginable to Westerners.
Chua set strict standards for her daughters. For example, in school they weren’t allowed to make grades lower than As. They had to play piano or violin and practice hours a day. There were no sleepovers, play dates or TV.
There has been wide criticism of Chua’s book in the US. “It is kind of extreme,” Jeffrey Seinfeld, a professor at New York University, told the Los Angles Times. “...standards of parenting need to be realistic and tailored to each child. Children need parents who can guide them, not force them to do things they are probably not interested in.”
Now the criticism seems to have spread to China. Sun Yunxiao, an expert from the China Youth and Children Research Center spoke to The Beijing News about his concerns. He argued that Chua’s method of parenting would limit children from reaching their full potential.
“Some Chinese parents do focus on test scores and good degrees,” Sun said. “but what gets sacrificed along the way is their kids’ capacity fully to develop and to enjoy life.”
While critics might sympathize with kids who experience this parenting style, some young people quite appreciate it. “I think anyone can do well if they work hard enough,” said 17-year-old Li Ao, a Senior 3 student at Qingdao No2 High School. “A tiger mother is there to help her kids work hard.”
Others think that Chua has a point when it comes to setting challenging goals for kids.
“It’s crucial for children,” according to Abigail Gewirtz, a professor of family science at the University of Minnesota. She told CNN: “Honestly, kids need to be pushed sometimes. If you push a kid to do well, and they’re good at it, they benefit. It’s good to have high expectations.”
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. Most children don’t need strict standards to do well.
B. Chua’s educating method is widely accepted in China.
C. Supporters of Amy Chua believe in high expectations.
D. Most children welcome challenging goals.
50. The underlined word “crucial” could be replaced by .
A. helpful B. cruel C. unfair D. important
51. Which of the following statements might Jeffrey Seinfeld agree with?
A. Children need to be pushed to succeed.
B. The tiger mother is no longer popular in American society.
C. Parents should take their children into account when they give them guidance.
D. Extreme parenting produces children who do not know themselves when grown up.
52. What is the author’s attitude towards Chua’s parenting style?
A. Approving. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Disapproving.

Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(当代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.
