She told Reader’sDigest 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 lessonI learnt with Lulu (Amy’s second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. Youhave 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 areyoung. 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 th e other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.36. Where can we find the passage?A. In a novel.B. In a magazine.C. In a comic book.D. In a history book.37. The Tiger Mother thinks the reason her book became controversial is that ______.A. she is very famousB. parenting is such a common topicC. traditional Chinese parenting is too strictD. the Wall Street Journal headline was called “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”38. Which of the following is TRUE according to Amy’s view on parenting?A. We should control all of the children’s choices.B. Spanking is necessary during children’s growth.C. Children should be raised in half Asian families.D. When children get older, parents should listen to them.39. According to the passage, we can see ______ in the west.A. children respect their parents because of authorityB. all kids under the age of ten can make good choicesC. some parents don’t believe in raising their voice with the kidsD. children do all of the things according to their parents’ orders40. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The book that the Tiger Mother wrote is very controversial.B. Traditional Chinese parenting is much better than that in the west.C. The Tiger Mother shows some of her ideas about her book and parenting.D. Parents should achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom.ESaving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down t heir water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).41. The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.A. 嫉妒B. 环保C. 未成熟的D. 健康的42. According to the passage, which is NOT the reason that people should save water?A. Treating wastewater needs much energy.B. The water on the earth is becoming less and less.C. The water on the earth is becoming polluted more.D. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs.43. According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.A. washing fruit and vegetables under a tapB. using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetablesC. making sure taps are fully turned off all the timeD. turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth44. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Save Water by Turning off the TapB. How to Treat and Clean WastewaterC. Keep Your Garden Green with RainwaterD. Save Water Starting with Small Changes45. From the passage, we can know that_____.A. we can get enough water by harvestingB. most people pay no attention to saving waterC. we can practice rainwater harvesting in a small wayD. harvesting water is more necessary than conserving it第Ⅱ卷非选择题（共51分）四、填空（共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分）A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卷标号为46—51的相应位置上。
