3."Beating is a sign of affection,cursing (骂)is a sign of love."
Many people 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 precollege military academies(军事学院) in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.
"Good education doesn't mean offering your child a better future,especially our boys,"said Song Wenming,a rich businessman 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 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania.And he is far from alone,even though it takes a lot of money---around48,000per 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 whom were spoiled (溺爱),"said Jennifer Myers,director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son,Song Siyu,had a difficult start during his first six weeks at the school.The teenager said he was willing to go to the school but did not expect it to be so difficult.
Now,three months later,he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35seconds,finishing a meal without looking at his food,and making his bed as required.He can even take criticism(批评),no matter how unreasonable.
"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of the young,"said Song Siyu."The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character,and they are not personal."
But his enthusiasm is not universal.Ten of the 13Chinese students who joined the academy this year have moved to other schools.
But for those who stick with it,there is a reward for all the hard work.

解答 32-35 CDBA
32.C.推理判断题.根据"Today,it seems,Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies(军事学院) in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success."可知现在的父母对孩子要求严格,也是一种爱的表现.所以"打是亲骂是爱"这句话现在仍然很有道理.故选C.
33.D.推理判断题.根据"A few years ago,there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge.Today,there are 28."可知有很多中国的学生来到这个地方.所以"he is far from alone"是指还有人送他们的孩子来到这个学校.故选D.
34.B.细节理解题.根据"Now,three months later,he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35seconds,finishing a meal without looking at his food,and making his bed as required.He can even take criticism(批评),no matter how unreasonable."和"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of the young,"可知A、C、D三项都是他做到的事.B项的内容与文章不符,文章只说不看食物,没有说闭着眼睛.故选B.
