阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎妈战歌) . tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential( 潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

   Today sending text messages(短信) is part of our lives. According to a survey, a third of the U. S. children send more than 100 text messages a day. Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular among young people in China, too. Children prefer text-messaging to communicate with friends no matter where they are, even under the noses of parents and teachers.  It seems that some children are "addicted (上瘾)" to texting. Actually sending too much is bad for their lives, health and study.

However, sending text messages isn't all bad. It helps to improve our lives in some ways. Today many children greet each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. During the last: Spring Festival, more than 14 billion text messages were sent in China. "Sending text messages helps save my pocket money," said Wu Qing, a friend of mine, "and it saves paper, too." Many parents send their kids texts instead of giving orders by mouth. It sounds more friendly. And children can accept them easily.
