虎妈,美国耶鲁大学的华裔教授蔡美儿Amy Lynn Chua,出版了一本名叫《虎妈战歌》Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother的书,在美国引起轰动。在接受采访时,回答了记者的5个问题(第61—65题)。请从下列提问(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出与她的回答相匹配的问题,并在答题卡上将相应选项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
Questions
A.What do you think of the competition between China and the US?
B.What do you think of the image of “tiger mom?”
C.How do your daughters take the criticism about you after your book was published?
D.You said you would not get her Christmas gifts or anything when your daughter refused to repeatedly practice the music. How did your husband respond?
E.What do you think makes a good mother?
F.What does your husband think of your method of bringing up kids?
Chua’s answer: Well, actually I think there are many ways of being a good mother. In my book my focus is just a memory about my own family story, me trying to raise my own children in a kind of traditional Chinese way. I make mistakes and I make fun of myself. It’s amazing the way the book has been received internationally, because. I didn’t intend my book to be telling other people of view and I am a proud strict “tiger mom”. But I’m not trying to tell other people what are the best ways to teach or raise their children.
Chua’s answer: Well, the title may sound a little frightening. Let me tell you why I chose the title. I was born in the year of the tiger. And “battle Hymn” in the United States comes from “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”. The book is really about finding some sort of balance: how can we find the balance between the eastern way of parenting and the western way of parenting. In ways the book as been misunderstood maybe because of the title.
Chua’s answer: I didn’t write this book to have any foreign policy implications. But it’s been taken into the foreign policy realm. It is of course true that there is a connection between child-raising and the future of nations. We are raising, as parents, the next generation. So I think Henry is right. We tapped into this thing of insecurity, American’s fear about the rising power of china. A friend of mine told me that if the book had been called The Battle Hymn of an Italian Mother or The Battle Hymn of a Mexican Mother, nobody would have cared. It’s really “China”. you know.
Chua’s answer: I don’t think he opposes my idea of raising children. I’d like to think we have a combination, which is the right solution. You need a balance. From my perspective, what I give my kids is something that I thought was lacking in the US educational system. You know, they hate memorization, while in China you have too much of it. In the US, learning should be fun, a lot of games,. So I brought hard work and disciplines. My husband and I think this is a great thing always teaching them to question the authority and to ask why. Don’t accept everything just because somebody tells you. Figure it out yourself. I really think you need to combine both these qualities if you want creativity and dynamism.
Chua’s answer: They both are stronger than I am. I am really proud of them. Their friends and communities supported them. At a time, I couldn’t even look at the Internet because there are so many negative comments. And they would find the good ones and text them to me, saying “here’s a good one mommy, hang in there.” This experience has actually brought my family together. Believe it or not, not just my kids, also my parents and my three younger sisters have supported me.
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the right time.
There's a proverb which says,“Time flies never to be recalled.” This is true.The unpunctual man is forever wasting his most valuable possessions as well as others'.The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments.
He knows that he can get through his huge amount of work only if he faithfully keeps every appointment and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
.If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him.Usually this will be regarded as rude both to the host and the other guests.

Today,kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus,just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noisefree environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
●
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get,the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends,he can “blow off some steam” so to speak,as well as reenergize.
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help,not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.
A.Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with. |
B.Help your child work better to realize his aim. |
C.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must. |
D.Get enough sleep. |
E.Help your child do better in school.
F.Encourage your child to be positive.
G.Encourage him to get outside.

Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to a study in Germany.
Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive.On the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence.
The study, by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster, was reported in New Scientist magazine. They showed video recordings of taekwondo(跆拳道) matches to 42 experienced referees(裁判). One fighter wore blue and the other wore red.
They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated(操纵) the clothing to exchange the colors.
“If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “”
In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, tawkwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55 percent of which were won by the competitor in red.
“” said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.

The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they wore blue.
C. The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, sell successfully.
D. It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasn’t yet been tested.
E. Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.
F. The findings could explain why Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful.
G. But the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip the scale
