The 36 methods she used with her daughters would seem 37 to Westerners．In school her daughters weren't allowed to have grades 38 than As．They had to 39 playing the piano or violin even for hours a day．
There has been wide criticism (批评) of Chua's book in the US．"It's a(n) 40 way of parenting," said a professor at New York University, "standards of parenting need to be 41 ．Children need parents to 42 them, not to force them to do things they're probably not interested in．”
Now the criticism seems to have 43 to China．Sun Yunxiao, an expert from the China Youth and Children Research Center spoke to The Beijing News about his 44 . He argued Chua's method of 45 would limit children from developing their full 46 ．"Some Chinese parents do focus too much on test scores and good degrees," Sun said, "What gets sacrificed (放弃) along the way is their kids’ 47 to develop fully and to enjoy life．"
48 critics(批评家)might have sympathy for kids who experience this parenting style, some teenagers quite 49 it．"I think anyone can do well if they work hard enough,” said a 17-year-old boy, "A 50 mother is there to help her kids work hard．"
Others think that Chua has a（n） 51 in setting challenging goals for kids．"It's important for children,” said an American professor, " 52 speaking , kids need to be 53 sometimes．If you urge kids to do well, they are good at it, and they 54 from it．It's good to have high 55 ．”

（2011·安徽卷）E
George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor.”
“Deaf people are very attentive(专注的)in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”
72. What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. to be quiet B. to be colorful
C. to be full of love D. to be attentive to someone
73. What does Prochnik say about us?
A. We are used to quietness
B. We have to put up with noise
C. We do not think silence to be beneficial
D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available
74. Which of the following is true according to Prochnik?
A. We need more sounds in our lives
B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony
75. It can be inferred from the text that .
A. we can benefit a lot from old people
B. it is a good idea to use sign language
C. there is no escape from the world of sound
D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.
It goes like this: You can't take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We'd take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the train, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn't like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom's friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just lightrail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestrut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where's the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I'm writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn't try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
1. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A．Building confidence in herself.
B．Reducing her use of private cars.
C．Developing her sense of direction.
D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
2. The underlined word “paralyzed”(in Para.5) is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．displayed B．justified C．ignored D．ruined
3. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?
A．Airplane. B．Subway. C．Train. D．Car.
