they could have excelled in anything. “theres no musical talent in my family，” she says，“its just hard work.” eventually chua realized that she was pushing her daughters too hard. _3_ after a series of violent arguments, chua decided to give her daughters a little more freedom, and lulu immediately gave up violin lessons and took up tennis. later sophia was even allowed to go to a rap concert.many people have been shocked by the book. chua spent much of her daughters childhood shouting at them and criticizing every mistake they made. _4_ sophia said that she herself chose to accept the system, and after the book was published she wrote an article defending her mother. lulu says that although she no longer wants to be a violinist, she still loves playing the violin. _5_ sophia is

chua在她写的虎妈战歌一书中描述了自己是如何严格教育两个女儿的。1f根据前一句可知，amy写了一本关于儿童教育的书。f项“这本书出版时在父母中引发了争议”说的是此书在读者中引起的反响，符合语境。故选f。2b根据后一句中的“outstanding pupils and musical prodigies”可推断出，她的教育方式起初很有效。故选b。3g根据后一句的内容可知，孩子们对amy的教育方式产生了强烈的反抗，因而促成chua的一些转变。g项列举了amy的女儿lulu反抗的具体事例，符合语境。故选g。4d根据前一句中的“shouting”“criticizing”和后一句中的“she herself chose to accept the system”可知，尽管amy对孩子们大加斥责，但孩子们似乎并不生她的气。d项内容与上一句构成转折关系，引出下文，符合语境。故选d。5c根据前一句可知，尽管lulu不再想成为一个小提琴家，但她仍然爱拉小提琴，所以她还是很高兴当时母亲强制让她练琴的做法。故选c。.语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 if you feel stressed by
