根据短文内容,在A,B,C,D四个选项中,选择一个正确答案。
Nowadays, a lot of mothers in China are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates, so they are becoming “tiger mothers”. They believe that if their children work hard, they will have a bright future. Is it true? Lulu and her sister Sophia may have something to say.
Lulu and Sophia have a “tiger mother”. She pushed the two daughters a lot when they were young. For example, they were not allowed to get grades lower than A’s. They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day. There were no games or TV.
This tiger mother, Amy, is a Chinese-American professor at Yale Law School in the USA. Several years ago, she wrote a book named Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and shared her strict parenting style (育儿方式) in it.
Many people don’t like Amy’s style of parenting. They once worried about her daughters would not be happy. However, the two girls have grown up and they are thankful to their mother. Sophia has just graduated from Yale University. She is hard-working, friendly and helpful. Not long ago, she shared some useful studying tips online. Lulu is also a warm, smart and popular girl in her friends’ eyes. She said their tiger mother believed that a child could succeed by being pushed to go all out.
Still, not everyone agrees with the tiger mother’s parenting style. In fact, there isn’t a parenting style that fits everyone. What’s the best style for you? Maybe you should work it out together with your parents.
