"Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (罵)is a sign of love."
Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.
Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way tosuccess.
"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家)in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."
In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics shows 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.
Song's 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 self-development 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.
1.From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.
A.is out of date in modern times.
B.is disagreed by rich parents.
C.is still worth trusting.
D.is deeply believed by better educated parent.
2.The underlined sentence means that _____
A.Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.
B.Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.
C.There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.
D.The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.
3.Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _____.
A.taking a bath in a short time B.having his meal with his eyes closed
C.taking unreasonable criticism D.improving his character
4.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?
A.10 B.13 C.15 D.25
5.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's 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.

TOKYO, Japan (AP) – Japan is very serious about robotics (機(jī)器人技術(shù)). If the androids are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, an android(有人特點(diǎn)的)with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors(感應(yīng)器)embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate(模仿)life with robot technology.
“A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo professor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden(臥床不起的). Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot on wheels called Papero. A robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices(設(shè)備)monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
1.What is the best title of this passage?
A.“Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B.Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C.Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.
D.Robot technologies are widespread in Japanese daily life.
2.The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means .
A.fixed B.established C.settled D.rooted
3.According to Professor Sato, .
A.the robot serves tea much faster than a human being
B.the robot does anything like human beings
C.tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging society
D.tea – serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
B.A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
C.All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
D.The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
5.We can infer from the passage that .
A.people are afraid of being monitored by robots.
B.the technology of robots has been highlighted(強(qiáng)調(diào)) in Japan.
C.robots can completely take the place of human beings.
D.people’s privacy should be strictly protected

科目: 來(lái)源:2015屆廣東省高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:書(shū)面表達(dá)
閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。
With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my opinion, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best of their time to stay with their children.
Every time when parents take them to the amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.
Children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, violence and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this negative influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down smd talk with them about what they should do and should not do.
I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work.
