statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A Some American parents might think their children need better educations to compete with China and other countries But how much do the parents themselves need to change A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother 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 the mother of two daughters She was raised in the American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents In the Chinese culture the tiger represents strength and power In her book Ms Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters Ms Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters Sophia and Louisa were not permitted to do Many people have criticized Amy Chua She also admits that her husband who is not Chinese sometimes disagreed with her parenting style But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters Ms Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting She 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 One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility Stacy DeBroff who has written four books on parenting says The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what does it mean to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child Ms DeBroff says Amy Chua s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families She says 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 65 Which of the following might be on the list of what Amy Chua s daughters are not permitted to do A Taking an extra course B Getting A s in exams C Getting up on schedule D Having a play date 66 Stacy DeBroff believes parents should A raise their children as they were raisedB find their own ways to raise their children C be as strict as possible with their childrenD follow successful people s parenting style 67 The word fragility in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to A weaknessB consciousnessC independenceD perseverance 68 According to the passage Amy Chua s parenting style is A uniqueB questionedC reasonableD

each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need A Lack of industry and efficiency B Inadequateness of ability C Satisfaction with the existing state D Unwillingness to socialize with high achievers E Insufficiency of belief in yourself F No concrete goals to pursue Very few people can claim they have achieved all they are capable of For many people there is a feeling that they

progress if you have no clear objectives for your life You should set yourself targets in the areas that are important to you There are many books giving detailed advice on target setting and they reinforce the point that the most important thing is to write your targets down and track progress If you do not achieve some of the goals then reset them You can be flexible and adjust how you move forward but you must keep moving Do you have written objectives you track regularly 78 It is easy and natural to settle into a rut Why try something new when you are already doing what you are good at High achievers go further They take risks They move out of their comfort zones They take on difficult challenges They push themselves to acquire new skills and to face new examinations of their abilities This means that they run the risk of failure Where are you right now inside your comfort zone or taking risks 79 Either you are lazy or you waste a lot of time every day on low value activities Thinking and planning are great but it is action that leads to success It is only by doing things and doing the right things that you change the world If you have clear goals but are not
