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.
16. 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
17. Which can best describe Ms. Chua according to the passage?
A. Uneducated. B. Cruel. C. Strict. D. Strong.
18. 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
19. What does the underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Give in. B. Pass away. C. Cry out. D. Go ahead.
20. 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

Most people pay attention to body language. They shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek.
When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
In the United States, it’s important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don’t make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conservation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arm’s length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.
In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the top of the head.
21. Some women don’t like to be offered a seat by men because _______.
A. they like to be treated equally B. they prefer to stand rather than sit
C. they think sitting is harmful for health. D. they don’t need men’s favor
22. The third paragraph is mainly about________.
A. body language in public places B. impolite body language

Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of a loved one.
It may be hard to believe at first, but finally you can use this experience as your advantage—to find another, perhaps even better job, to strengthen your relationship with your family, and to make some much-needed changes in your life. Here are three essential steps.
Step1 Get emotional support. Because it’s easy to feel uneasy and vulnerable(脆弱), turning to others is the key to making a smooth transition(过渡). You’ll need people who will listen and provide a safe place for you to cry, or to express your fears and concerns.
Don’t go it alone. It takes courage to ask for help, and yet, help may be what you need most to move forward.
Step2 Seek professional guidance. Getting assistance from a recruiter(招聘人员) or career adviser will not only help you value your experience and improve your skills, it also will ensure that you put your best foot forward. Once again, your local unemployment office should have helpful resources.
If possible, try not to let fear cause you to grab the first new job you’re offered (unless it’s the right one). Give yourself time to explore different choices.
Step3 Consolidate family ties. Meet with family members to openly discuss your feelings. Listen carefully without interrupting one another, and give everyone a turn to speak. When a man I know did this with his family, his wife agreed to leave the job search planning to him and his outplacement adviser. In turn, he agreed to keep her informed about the process on a weekly basis. When you keep the lines of communication open, you can build stronger relationships.
Once you’ve got a new job, create your own security. Keep your resume up-to-date, stay in touch with recruiters about the job market, and constantly improve your skills to stay marketable in your field.
Although being laid-off can turn your life upside down, many people say that it gave them push they needed to start a new life!
14.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To ask the family for help.
B. To stay in touch with recruiters in your field.
C. To deal with the hurt from losing a job.
D. To keep your resume up-to-date.
15.The underlined title “Consolidate family ties” probably means “________”.
A. find another better job for your family
B. strengthen your relationship with your family
C. make some much-needed changes in your family
D. create your own security to your family
16.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Losing a job is stressful but is not so painful as the loss of a loved one.
B. Turning to others is the main key to obtaining deepest sympathy.
C. Asking for a career adviser will help you and improve your skills.
D. Keeping the lines of communication open can end your relationships.
17.We can infer from the passage that the author is most likely to ____________.
A. be a life coach
B. be a keeper of family ties

California girl Mia wants to spend her vacation at the beach. But her parents have different plans. They send her to Vietnam with her grandmother, hoping Mia will learn to appreciate Vietnamese culture. But Mia doesn't view Vietnamese culture as her own. She doesn't even speak the language. This is the story I tell in my new novel, Listen, Slowly Can the trip attract Mia's interest in her roots? Will she refuse to accept her family’s history? Now I'1I tell you more about my new book.
So what inspired me to write the book? I wanted to look at cultural differences between teenagers in the United States and Vietnam. I also wanted to play with the idea of how we practice a language and how we communicate in spite of language barriers.
What is the main character Mia like? Well, she can be sarcastic (尖刻的), but she's basically a good child. She just wants to be a California beach girl. She has no interest in Vietnam. She spends a good two weeks pouting(噘嘴) when she gets to Vietnam. Then she comes to the conclusion that she may as well make the best of it.
You may wonder why I put Mia in a completely different environment. Well, if Mia is going to connect with her past, she will have to leave the world she knows. I think the easiest way to change a child's attitude is to take away everything she has already known. For example, Mia can’t be sarcastic in Vietnam because she doesn’t have the language to do it. I wanted her to listen instead of running tier mouth. When you re learning anew language, you are forced to listen because you can understand much more than you can speak.
Actually, the grandmother in the novel is very much like my own mother. I am the age of Mia's parents so I understand them. They speak both English, and Vietnamese. They have so much that they want to pass on to Mia but that she's not interested in.
As for now, I’m writing a novel about an American boy who wants to be a cowboy.
13. Why do Mia s parents want her to go to-Vietnam?
A .Because Mia's grandmother nee& her company.
B. Because they want Mia to learn about foreign cultures.
C. Because they want Mia-to develop liking for Vietnamese culture.
D. Because they don't want Mia to go to the beach alone.
14. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?,

D. How the author wrote the book:
15. How does Mia most probably feel after arriving in Vietnam?

You and your friends are settling into your seats. The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you’ve got the snacks: soda and popcorn. Food is part of what makes the movies fun.
Just as the lights go out, you catch a slight smell of … tuna fish? You turn your head, searching for the source. Then you spot him: A couple rows back, some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How’d he get that in here? You wonder. Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks.
What invites the unwelcome outside food is probably the price. Why pay $ 5 for a bag of M&Ms when you can get them for a dollar at the corner store?
Earlier this year, a Michigan man decided to fight for his right to snack. Joshua Thompson is suing his local theater after it banned outside food. He argues the ban breaks a Michigan law that prevents businesses from charging extremely high prices. However, most legal experts believe Thompson has little chance of winning his case, though he does have a point: 85 cents out of a dollar of treats a movie theater sells is pure profit.
The truth is that movie theaters are more in the snack business than the movie business. A huge part of the ticket income goes to the Hollywood studio. This makes sense, since the studios have to pay the costs of movie production and advertising. But that often doesn’t leave much cash for the theater, which also has its own running costs. If customers stopped buying food, owners would have to raise ticket prices even higher.
Of course, there’s another reason to think twice before bringing food into the movies: It’s against the rules. Breaking those rules can have unpleasant consequences too. Some theaters will kick you out if they catch you. Even without the threat of punishment, we should follow rules all the time------out of respect.
Here’s a good idea: Eat before the movie.
21. What is the topic of the text?
A. Movie Theaters’ Ban on Outside Food.
B. A Michigan Man’s Fight for His Right.
C. The Pleasure of Enjoying Snacks.
D. Bad Manners in Movie Theaters.
22. What do we know about Joshua Thompson?
A. He broke a Michigan law.
B. He was forbidden to have snacks at the theaters.
C. He thinks cinema tickets are too expensive.
D. He is likely to lose the case.
23. In Paragraph 5, the author mainly explains _________.
A. how movie studios work with movie theaters
B. why snack sales are important to movie theaters
C. why Hollywood studios must pay high costs
D. how movie theaters reduce their operating costs
24. How does the author feel about bringing outside food into the cinema?
A. It is great fun. B. It is convenient.
C. It is unacceptable. D. It is lawful.
They devoted themselves to _______ a new way to save water.

A pri
mary school in Wuhan has used new desks and chairs to prevent students from getting short sight. The desks and chairs make students have the correct posture, especially when reading and writing. Each desk has an adjustable steel bar. The bar can help students keep their eyes at least 30cm from books.
Zhang Jianming is headmaster of the primary school. She said the new desks and chairs were provided by an eye care centre in the city. The school carried out a survey las
t September. It showed that about 7 percent of its 1,093 students said they suffered from short sight.
The new desks and chairs have already improved the students’ posture, but both teachers and students might need more time to get used to them.
Yang Lihua is head of the Wuhan Youth Eye Care Center. She said the desks and chairs were introduced to 19 schools on a trial basis. “During our research into short sight, we noticed that the number of students with short sight was increasing. This is because parents are teaching their children to read and write at a very early age without paying enough attention to their posture,” she said.
Feng Junying is a doctor at Beijing Jingshan School. “I think the new desks and chairs in Wuhan will certainly be helpful,” she said. “But bad reading habits at school are not the only reason for short sight. Children are using mobile phones and iPads when they are very young. This can be another reason for short sight at a young age.”
28. According to the passage, the adjustable steel bar can help the students keep their eyes ___________ from books.
A. 20cm B. 25cm C. 29cm D. 32cm
29. The schools in Wuhan introduced the desks with bars to the primary school students in order to _______________.
A. make students grow tall B. help students have the correct posture
C. help students love reading D. not allow students to use mobile
30. Feng Junying’s words mean ___________________________________.
A. the number of students with short sight is increasing
B. the students don’t get used to the new desks and chairs
C. bad reading habits are not the only reason of the students’ short sight
D. the new desks and chairs are useless for the students to improve their eye sight
31. From the passage, a good way to protect our eyesight is to___________________________.
A. buy an adjustable steel bar
B. go to the Youth Eye Care Centre often
C. have a correct posture when we are studying
D. read less and use mobile phones and iPads less

After shopping, Mother and I went to a restaurant for lunch. I notice Mother looking at a nearby table occupy by an elderly woman and young couple. They ate silently, and it was clearly that things were not going well. As we left, Mother stopped on their table. “Excuse me,” she said, put her arms around the unhappy old woman. “You remind me so many of my mother. May I hug (拥抱) you?” The woman smiled happily as she accepted to it. After we left, I said, “That was very nice of you, Mother. So I didn’t think she looked like Grandma. “Neither did me,” said Mother cheerfully.
There is a saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What one person considers beauty may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight (深刻的了解) or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.
The most memorable "beautiful people" are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces.In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slim figures. But Lin was used to getting her own way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.
Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have beauty have attained inner peace. They care about their fellowmen, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two well-known personalities who are typical examples of this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa's mission is to help the poorest of the world's poor. This inner beauty makes the world a better place.
8. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to _____.
A. the beauty of eyes B. something beyond the lovely sight
C. something that pleases our eyes D. inner beauty
9. What does the underlined sentence "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" mean?
A. Beauty is a matter of a person's taste and judgment.
B. Beautiful people are very popular.
C. Everybody hopes for beauty.
D. Beauty attracts people's eyes.
10. According to the passage, why did the author think Sue was more beautiful than Lin?
A. Sue had a perfect face.
B. Sue had a good character.
C. Sue became more and more slender.
D. Lin treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way.
11. What's the author's opinion on beauty?
A. Beauty is a perfect face and a slender figure.
B. Beauty is something that pleases the eyes.
C. Beauty is an attractive personality behind the pretty faces.
D. Inner beauty doesn't attract people.
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially considered as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict principles of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people against fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to take place without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
24. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______.
A. to entertain themselves B. in the interests of farmers
C. to limit the fox population D. to show off their wealth
25. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?

D. The hunters have to go through strict training.
26. People against fox hunting often interfere in the game ______.
A. by using violence B. by confusing the fox hunters
C. by taking legal action D. by demonstrating on the scene
27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. killing foxes with poison is illegal
B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C. hunting fox with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D. fox-hunting often leads to conflicts between the poor and the rich
