CEO Tim Cook. Troubled musician Justin Bieber even challenged US President Barrack Obama.The

20、 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same within 24 hours.

Controversy over the book arose because many readers did

29、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

30、 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 childs academic success is directly linked to parenting skills. It is common fo

31、r such parents to take severe measures to make their children do exactly what they say. In contrast，Western parents worry more about their childrens self-esteem（自尊），which drives their parenting methods.

32、ards 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 le

33、arning 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. Whats more a method that works with one child wil

34、l 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.1、What do we know about Amy Chuas book?AIt amused readers greatly.BIt caused a serious debate.CIts about a tiger and its mother.DIts popular w

35、ith both parents and kids.2、Why did Amy Chua write the book?ATo share her experience as a mom.BTo tell interesting stories to children.CTo introduce her research on parenting.DTo help other parents educate their children.3、Whats the maid idea of Paragraph 2?AWhat is most important for children.BHow

36、to help children to succeed in school.CThe importance of mastering parenting skills.DDifferences between upbringing in China and the West.4、What result might the Western parenting method bring about?AChildrens academic success.BMore positive attitudes toward life.CBad relationships between parents a

37、nd children.DChildrens lack of experience in dealing with difficulties.5、Which of the following may the author agree on?AOne parenting method doesnt work with all children.BA perfect way to parent is easy to find as long as parents work hard.CWestern parenting methods are better than those in China.

38、DChinese parents are more worried about their childrens self-esteem.24（8分）An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him

39、after taking his thumb prints.

He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather, bad drivers, her daughters school play.At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.“Got here in the end”，said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will

44、have to consider moving you into a home”.“No need, I was not lost，he answered. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen. In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and

54、juice producer cal led Del Oro set up a company near the Guanacaste Conservation Area in Costa Rica, a region that contains several national parks and a widlife protection zone.Del Oro needed somewhere to dump the orange peels, and the company also owned forested land next to the parkland that it ha

55、d no intention of growing crops on. So a deal was struck: if Del Oro donated its forested land, it could dump orange peel waste on degraded(退化的) land within the conservation area. Then a thousand dump trucks worth of orange peels were lying on the land in 1998. “And within about six months the orang

56、e peels had been turned from orange peels into this thick black rich soil.”“I couldnt even find the site the fist time I saw it.” He couldnt find it because, over 16 years, the orange peel waste had sent the land on a journey to become a vine-choked jungle, with three times the diversity of tree spe

57、cies of the neighboring control plot, richer soil and a much thicker covering. In other words, the experiment was a success. The results appear in the journal Restoration Ecology.Treuer says perhaps this lesson could be applied elsewhere. “Its a shame that we live in a world with nutrient-limited de

58、graded ecosystems and also nutrient-rich waste streams. Wed like to see those things come together a little bit. Thats not license for any agricultural company to just start dumping their waste products on protected areas, but it does mean that land managers, people involved with industrial-scale ag
