－How do you like this book? －________.
[ ]
often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia.
They also want their children to take extra-course activities such as musical instrument learning or ballet
classes, or other classes. They think these will give them a good future. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend much unreasonable(不 理智的 ) money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, most parents don't understand that the best early education they can give their children is
usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very good in some areas while poor in others. Parents also
can see some children are good at these skills and others do well in others. Most parents don't realize
that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence(自信).
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study
well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy
and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and
time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he
will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much
satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make
him curious and improve his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. Your child
might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
B. Today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
C. Today's children lack of skills for tests.
D. Taking extra-courses is useful for children's future.
B. have nothing to do with their education
C. may be different from child to child
D. have much to do with their marks in the exams
B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. learn to work hard and be full of confidence
D. make their parents believe that they are clever
B. the country's education system
C. the children's skills
D. the children's hobbies
Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader’s Digest that she’s a little strange about how her book struck so many nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.
Reader’s Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?
Amy: I don’t think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn’t for the Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.
Reader’s Digest: What’s your view on your parenting?
Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn’t believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don’t spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book’s message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don’t just let them watch TV all the time. I don’t think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy’s second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it’s important to find a balance.
I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they’re older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.

as usual? Or, would you become worried and uneasy?
"I was surprised at how I could get angry so easily with my parents before a big exam," said Junior 3
student Wang Yangqian from Hefei. "I couldn't fall asleep even after I'd been in bed for two hours."
Not only exams but also other things, like a big game, can make you different from how you are usually.
You may act differently because you are stressed out. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or
uncomfortable about something. Usually your hands get wet and your heart beats faster. You feel stressed
because you might ask too much of yourself sometimes. Or, your parents, teachers or classmates put too
much pressure on you. This can make you worried. But being stressed is not always a big problem. Everybody,
even sports stars, can get a little worried before a big game.
Some kinds of stress are good. Good stress might show up when you're called on in class or when you
have to give a report. This kind of stress can help you get things done well. You may do a better job in your
book report if the anxiety pushes you to do more work before you read it to the class.
Sometimes stress can turn into something bad if you keep having stressful feelings for a long time. This
kind of stress isn't going to help you. It can make you sick. You may have trouble paying attention at school
and forget things easily.
So, remember to stay relaxed. It won't be the end of the world, even if you don't pass the exam.
