The winter holiday, when I am looking forward to, is coming. What fun it is to have sports! Play football is one of my hobby. I can also ride my bicycle, climb high mountains, or go skating. Sometime I can play the chess with Grandfather. How interested my holiday will be! But my father is always afraid I would be hurt by a truck, fall into water, and fall off a tree. He is afraid I would fight against others or taken away by bad men.    But if I’m friendly and carefully enough, how will these things happen? I must try best to persuade my father.

Never did we have to play "stand up", "sit down", "speak out". I don't ____ one student who didn’t try his best.

Michael O’her lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. The father believed in encouragement.

Though Michael was the    21   of the class when he entered high school, his    22  continued to encourage him, but also made it very clear that he did not have to play    23   if he didn’t want to.

However, Michael loved football and was    24  to try his best at every practice. All through high school, he never   25  a practice or a game, but remained a bench warmer(替补队员) all four years. His   26  father was always in the stands, with words of   27  for him.

It was the end of the football season, and as Michael ran slowly onto the practice field shortly    28  the big final game, the coach met him with a telegram. Michael    29   the telegram and became deathly silent—his father died that morning, and the sad man left for    30  immediately.

In the third quarter,  when the team was ten points   31  , a silent young man eagerly 32 onto the sidelines. The coach and his players were shocked to see their team-mate back so    33 .

“Coach, please let me  34 . I have to play today,” said Michael. Feeling sorry for him, the coach   35  . Before long, nobody could believe their eyes. This small bench warmer played like a(n)    36 . He helped his team win finally.

When the team was cheering for their    37 , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me   38  you did it?”

Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He    39  a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could    40   me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries’ children． But how much do the parents themselves need to change?
A new book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting． Ms． Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and a mother of two daughters． She was raised in America by immigrant Chinese parents． In her book, Ms． Chua wrote about how she demanded excellence from her daughters． For example, she threatened to burn her daughter’s dolls unless she played a piece of music perfectly． She would scold her daughters if they failed to meet her expectations．
Ms． Chua had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do: “Attend a sleepover, have a play date, watch TV or play computer games, be in a school play, get any grade less than an A．” Many people criticize Amy Chua, saying her parenting methods were cruel and violent． She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style． But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters．
Ms． Chua says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities． Amy Chua thinks one of the biggest differences between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents take on strength rather than fragility．”
Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: “Parents should rethink, what does it mean to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child?” She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families． 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． Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised．
【小题1】Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is mainly about ___________．
