三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共40分)
A
There are many differences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors notice the fact that children are special in China. However,the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.
When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was nonplussed when she replied,“No,she's not; she's ugly."
Since that time I have heard many similar comments (评论),including, “No, he's not bright;he's stupid." This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.
Someone explained it to me, "We Chinese don't want to appear too proud." I' m sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were breaking the child's self-confidence. When we Americans say something good about our child, we don't think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parent as two different persons.
You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner:“My daughter is smart and pretty.”Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. It's just the way she was made, and I'm thankful for that.
So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good parent.
( )1.The underlined word “nonplussed" in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. hopeful B. worried C. regretful D. surprised
( )2.If someone praises her daughter's beautiful look, a Chinese mother most probably say________.
A. Yes, she is smart and pretty B. Yes, she takes after me
C. No, she is not so beautiful D. No, her new look doesn't matter
( )3.About the writer,we can know that________.
A. he is from the US B. he is visiting America
C. he is a Chinese parent D. he is an expert in education
( )4.When US parents praise their child in front of others, they________.
A. often feel proud of themselves B. have similar feelings as Chinese parents
C. just say something nice about the kid D. try to build a good relationship with their kid
( )5.The article mainly discussed about________.
A. how to teach kids in different countries B. how to be good parents in different cultures
C. how US parents feel about themselves D. how Chinese and US parents talk about kids
B
