ANearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equiva lent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers. The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend sai d “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger tha t can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”A survey arranged by price comparison website found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many noveltyitems displayed could be a safety issue，” said a spokesman.21．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?A．They can be dangerous.B．They are useful to avoid accidents.C．They are welcomed by passengers.D．They are forbidden to be used.22．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A．Positive.

A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent. In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleepover，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own afterclass activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play 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，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects 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 about 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 advised 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 said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)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，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the USbased .“In that sen se，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.25．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?A．She is an easygoing woman.B．She is an assistant professor.C．She is a demanding parent.D．She is a cruel teacher.26．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.B．Playing the guitar.C．Dating with boys.D．Getting an A minus.27.．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.A．seek a better future for their childrenB．develop their own style of parentingC．be strict with their childrenD．follow Amy Chua's parenting style28．Alison Lo concluded that________.A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting styleB．parents should respect children's personalitiesC．a gifted child was born with talentD．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parentingCAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
