问题 共用题干Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother

In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions（秉性）,different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?The author has more than one children.A:Right        B:Wrong        C:Not mentioned
选项 The author has more than one children.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned
答案 A
解析 文章第四段，作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性，不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福，所以该判断正确。
从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math"，即科学和数学的排名都靠后，相反，上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以，该判断不正确。
文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练，但是，后面的“they (他们）”指的是中国孩子，即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative"，鼓励他们的创造力。
第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明，中国家长思想还不够开明，所以，该判断正确。
第一段的最后一句指出，美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters"，这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice"，但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学，所以选C。
