In 2011, Amy Chua put out the book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which is her memoir(回忆 录)about the challenges of being a parent and trying to keep to the strict upbringing(养)she knew as a child. Controversy over the book arose because many readers did not get the impression that Chua was trying to be
humorous about her parenting methods. There was also miscommunication about the purpose of the book. Many received it as a guide for other parents on how to use strict methods to punish and motivate their children. However, Chua has always claimed the aim of her book was only to share her successes and failures as a parent in a culturally diverse world.
In the book, Chua compares Western and Chinese beliefs and methods of parenting. In general, Chinese parents believe a child's academic success is directly linked to parenting skills. It is common for such parents to take severe measures to make their children do exactly what they say. In contrast, Western parents worry more about their children's self-esteem(自 尊),which drives their parenting methods. As a result, parenting methods have become less strict and children are not held to the high standards they were in the past.
Interestingly, in the West, many people agree that Western parenting methods could use improvement. Some even say that the laid-back Western methods can be just as damaging as the overly strict ones Chua connects with Chinese culture because more and more children are not learning how to face and overcome challenges. However, experts also say that being too strict with children can cause rebellion(反叛),low self-esteem and poor parent-child relationships.
What everyone can agree on is that there is no perfect way to parent. What's more a method that works with one child will not necessarily work with another. Parents are challenged with finding the best method that helps each child learn to be a responsible and confident person.
24. Why did Amy Chua write the book?
A. To share her experience as a mom.
B. To tell interesting stories to children.
C. To introduce her research on parenting.
D. To help other parents educate their children.
25. What's the maid idea of Paragraph 2?
A. What is most important for children.
B. How to help children to succeed in school.
C. The importance of mastering parenting skills.
D. Differences between upbringing in China and the West.
26. What result might the Western parenting method bring about?
A. Children's academic success.
B. More positive attitudes toward life.
C. Bad relationships between parents and children.
D. Children's lack of experience in dealing with difficulties.
27. Which of the following may the author agree on?
A. One parenting method doesn't work with all children.
B. A perfect way to parent is easy to find as long as parents work hard.
C. Western parenting methods are better than those in China.
D. Chinese parents are more worried about their children's self-esteem.
C
What exactly is intelligence? There aren't any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modem science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因)linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did.
However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. "The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers."
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn't everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素)in intelligence.
Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才)do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there's hope for us all!
28. What is the topic of the passage?
A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.
B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.
C. How to develop intelligence.
D. What makes intelligence.
29. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A. To make a suggestion. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To prove an idea. D. To give an example.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in com mon.
B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.
C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.
D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.
31. What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The development of intelligence. B. The idea of multiple intelligences.
C. IQ isn't everything for intelligence. D. Alternative views have been put forward.
D
Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders, for example, Google (Sergey Brin and Larry Page), Apple (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs), and Microsoft (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched in 2016, customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $ 1 billion, and a further $ 17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times-and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long,” she remembered." People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that 'no' doesn't always mean 'no', and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years." Spanx is worth just over $1 billion-it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!
32. What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?
A. Two heads are better than one.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
33. Why does the author mention Samsung's Galaxy Note 7,8 and 9?
A. To suggest customers should follow the new trends.
B. To prove Samsung is responsible for customers・
C. To show Samsung paid for its product failure.
D. To explain that failures don't spell the end.
34. What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely’s success?
A. Her friends' help. B. Her will power.
C. Her good luck. D. Her education background.
35. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By making contrast. B. By making classification.
C. By giving examples. D. By giving numbers.
