One year after the release of her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy (恶名) affected her life, her family and her parenting. “I have changed a lot,” she told the Huffington Post. “In October, we had 30 kids at our house! We have hosted parties with lots of food and music.” Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt (节选) from Chuas book with the headline “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”. In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers (在外过夜的儿童聚会), appear in school plays, or earn any grade lower than an A. Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of xx on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics fire. Now, with the book out in paperback, she said, “I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back.”For those who still read Battle Hymn as an advice guide, Chua argues that so-called tiger parenting should be employed mainly during a childs early years, ideally between the ages of 5 and 12. These “super-strict parenting tactics” are not meant for all ages. Remaining strict after middle school makes you a helicopter parent, according to Chua. And she is quick to point out how different that is from being a tiger mom. “By the time kids get to high school, helicopter parents are hiring all these tutors, carrying their kids sports bags. I never checked older daughter Sophias papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus,” Chua said.As for younger daughter Lulu, 15, the rebel for whom the book was written, Chua has really backed off. Instead of forcing Lulu to practise violin for hours a daythe source of their biggest fights, Chua “let her give that up”. “My promise (妥协) is that Im going to still be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of social freedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!” Chua said. Chua predicts shell only get more easygoing with age. 56. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Tiger Mom has changed and wants to be soft.B. Tiger Mom persuaded readers to follow her example. C. How Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother came out.D. How Tiger Mom became the worldwide spotlight.57. From paragraph 1 we can know that after the publication of the book_.A. Tiger Mom became stricter with her childrenB. Tiger Mom was thought highly by the publicC. Tiger Moms life and family were influencedD. Tiger Mom became wealthy and easygoing58. Lulu quarreled with her mother mainly over_.A. whether she could do well at schoolB. when she could have sleepoversC. what should be written in the bookD. how long she practiced the violinBMost of us seem to reach our peak of alertness (警觉) around noon. Soon after that, alertness declines, and sleepiness may set in by mid-afternoon. Your short-term memory is best during the morningin fact, about 15 percent more efficient than at any other time of day. So, students, take notice: when you are faced with a morning exam, it really does pay to review your notes right before the test is given. However, long-term memory is different. Afternoon is the best time for learning materials that you want to recall days, weeks or months later. Politicians, business executives or others who must learn speeches would be smart to do their memorizing during that time of day. You should try to do most of your studying in the afternoon, rather than late at night. Many students believe they memorize better while burning the midnight oil because their short-term recall is better during the early hours of the morning than in the afternoon. But short-term memory wont help them much several days later, when they face the exam. By contrast, we tend to do best on tasks related to the process of knowing, understanding, and learning numbers during the morning hours. What about sports? During afternoon and early evening, youre able to react the quickest to an outside stimuluslike a baseball speeding toward you. Studies have also shown that late in the day, when your body temperature is peaking, you will consider PE easier and less tiringwhether it actually is or not. That means you are more likely to work harder during a late afternoon or early evening workout, and therefore benefit more from it. In fact, all of your sensestaste, sight, hearing, touch and smellmay be at their keenest during late afternoon and early evening. That could be why dinner usually tastes better to us than breakfast. While all of us follow the same general pattern of ups and downs, the exact timing varies from person to person. It all depends on how your “biological” day is structured. Each of us can increase our knowledge about our individual rhythms. Learn how to listen to the inner beats of your body; let them set the pace of your day. You will live a healthier and happier life.59. What does the underlined “it really does pay” mean? A. It will cost a lot.B. It requires price. C. It is very painful. D. It is worthwhile. 60. If there is an English exam two weeks later, you should go over English _ for days before that. A. in the afternoonB. in the late eveningC. in the early morningD. right before the exam61. From the passage, it can be inferred that _. A. we eat more food at noonB. we feel most tired if we exercise in the eveningC. it is a good choice to study math in the morningD. we feel most sleepy before noon62. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Whats Your Best Time of the Day for Different Tasks B. How to Live a Healthier and Happier LifeC. How to Study EfficientlyD.

The prizes are ultimately funded by the taxpayer, through school budgets. Nearly 500 secondary schools, one in six, have decided to take part in the scheme, which is intended to replace old-style rewards such as stickers and golden stars.But the extent of rewards being offered in schools brought a warning that a generation of children is growing up expecting to be rewarded at every stage. Many youngsters are collecting points for ordinary achievements such as remembering to bring their PE kit and wearing the correct uniform.Under the scheme, teachers award Vivo pointsworth 1 penny eachaccording to the schools policy. Schools typically spend4 to6 on prizes per pupil each year, although some mit considerably more. Most pupils accumulate between 400 and 600 Vivos a year. Vivo Miles insists it is “pretty rare” for a pupil to accumulate enough points to buy an iPod, which requires 3,100 Vivos.But Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said the scheme amounted to “bribery”. “It misleads children into thinking anything which requires effort has to have a special reward,” he said. “This all must have prizes view is damaging to children in the long-term.” The scheme amounted to an “admission of failu
