affection, cursing (骂)is a sign of love.” many may not expect to hear the words of the old chinese saying in these modern timeswith parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever beenbut experts say they still ring true. today, it seems, chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies in the united states in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.“good education doesnt mean letting your children enjoy privileges, especially our boys.” said song wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家)in jinhua east chinas zhejiang province. “they should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.” in august, song sent his 17yearold son to valley forge military academy (vfma) in pennsylvania. and he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of moneyaround $48,000 per yearto send a child to a strict military school.statistics show that an increasing number of chinese students have been registering with such academies. a few years ago, there were no chinese students at valley forge. today, there are 28.“all of the chinese students at valley forge came from wealthy families; some of them were spoiled.” said jennifer myers, director of marketing and communications at the school. songs only son, song siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. the teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult. now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. he can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.“the training is hard but i know it is good for selfdevelopment of individuals.” said song siyu. “the endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character; they are not personal.” but his enthusiasm is not universal. ten of the 13 chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools. but for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.25. from the second paragraph, we can know the old chinese saying _ .a. is out of date in modern times b. is disagreed by rich parentsc. is still worth trusting d. is deeply believed by better educated parents26. the underlined sentence means that _.a. song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonelyb. song is the only one who sends his child to military schoolc. there are other people sending their children to military school besides songd. the fee of the military school is so high that only song can afford it27. which of the following can be inferred from the passage?a. its likely that more and more chinese students will attend vfma.b. most chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.c. song siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at vfma.d. most chinese students support the way of education at vfma.c in many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. however, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. and there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms. sonia montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. she supports the idea. “the kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and i cant afford to take several weeks off work, so i need someone to take care of them. but nobody wants the work in the summer months they all have holidays of their own.” not surprisingly, some young people disagree. student jason panos says “its a stupid idea. i would hate staying at school in the summer. its unfair, too. the people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. the kids in spain and america have much longer holidays than here, but they dont forget everything theyve learnt in a few months.” nadia salib agrees. “sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the summer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. the real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. but the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”28. why is sonia in support of shorter school holidays?a. she doesnt get any summer holidays in her job.b. she is worried that her children will forget what theyve learnt.c. she cant afford to pay someone to look after her children.d. she cant get anyone to look after her children in summer.29. what does jason say about long summer holidays?a. they can help children forget about school.b. schools in other countries dont have them.c. these days many older people have them too.d. they have little influence on childrens education.30. what does nadia say about young people on summer holidays?a. they would like to spend more time at school.b. long holidays are very bad for their education.c. they need something to do to enrich themselves.d. long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.31. which of the following statements best explains the text?a. it has been decided that summer holidays should be shortened.b. students are angry that school holidays have been changed.c. some people want to change school holidays but not everyone agrees.d. teenagers are worried that they will be busy during summer holidays.d new yorkers and visitors to the big apple will get to ring in the lunar new year，also known as chinese new year in the us，in style with a fireworks display on the hudson river set to
