河北省石家庄新乐市2016高考英语阅读类含语法填空练习（10）【2015高考复习】阅读理解“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a self­described Chinese descent(血统)on her super­strict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent.In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleep­over，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own after­class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7­year­old daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the US­based .“In that sence，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.【语篇解读】耶鲁大学华裔教授Amy Chua的新书《虎妈战歌》成为美国人热议的话题，她提出的“中国式”严苛教子方法引发了巨大争议。

答案 D阅读理解.There’s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I just can’t get started.” People say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations (义务). We encounter (遭遇) emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue (疲劳), a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nevertheless faced life with optimism and vigor (活力). Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despitean extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed. Unlike physical energy, which is finite (有限的) and diminishes (减少) with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotionalenergy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire(轮胎) with a slow leak（漏）. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That’s where Mau ra, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago. Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meetregularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with ashort haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business. Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Trya dish y ou’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale (厌倦的). The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it.A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something.” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived（缺乏的）. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients（客户）. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.” We all defi ne fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you putjust a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly4. Bid farewell （告别）to guilt and regret.Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotiona l energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened in the past, nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind]Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every t ime you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter. You have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it. Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, and then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage to someone you love, or cook her dinner, then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient. After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?1.

Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy. Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said：“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die.
