An eight-year-old boy named Liangliang liked watching cartoons every day instead of doing his homework, so his mother stopped him from watching cartoons. Liangliang called the police to take his mother away—such a “good reason” to call the police.

Most people would just laugh it off. However, it shows that something is wrong with our education. It rings alarm to our Chinese parents to think about it.

Parents should ask themselves why they’re so angry when their kids want to watch cartoons instead of doing homework. Kids are supposed to be simple and naughty(頑皮). They can just ask their kids to do things they expect them to do. Schoolwork is important but a healthy childhood is much more important. If they push their kids too hard, the kids will not listen to them. Instead, parents should spend some time talking to their kids and help them grow in a good way. It’s also a good way to help parents themselves to grow, too.

In China, lots of parents care more about scores(分?jǐn)?shù)) than any other things. They hope their kids can be top students and go to the top colleges. Curriculum Reformation(課改) is coming though, and it would bring some changes to our schools. It’s also time for parents to change their minds to reduce pressure(減輕壓力) on their kids and help them to grow happily and naturally.

1.When Liangliang watched cartoons, his mother______.

A. called the police for help

B. watched with him

C. didn’t allow him to do so

D. didn’t stop him doing so

2.According to the passage, if parents push their kids too hard, ______.

A. the kids will be more careful

B. the kids will not follow them

C. the kids will get better grades

D. the kids will grow in a good way

3.Parents can reduce pressure on their kids by ______.

A. changing their own minds

B. caring about scores

C. helping the kids go to the top colleges

D. helping the kids to be top students

4.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A. kids can call the police if they are angry with their parents

B. parents should not care about scores any more

C. kids should be allowed to watch cartoons

D. parents should help kids to grow happily and naturally

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of (感到難為情) my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her Chinese English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother realized that she was poor at English. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人). I said in an adolescent(青少年的) voice that was not very certain, “This is Mrs. Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “Why he doesn’t send me check, already two weeks late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t accept any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed(令人尷尬) me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world.

1.Why was the writer’s mother poorly served?

A. She was unable to speak good English.

B. She was often treated unfairly.

C. She was not clearly heard.

D. She was not very polite.

2.From Paragraph 2, we know that the writer was ____________.

A. good at pretending

B. rude to the stockbroker

C. ready to help her mother

D. not willing to phone for her mother

3. After the writer made the phone call, the writer and her mum___________.

A. received the check at once

B. still failed to get the check

C. went to New York immediately

D. spoke to the stockbroker’s boss at once

4.What does the underlined phrase “make sense of” in last paragraph mean?

A. confuse B. surprise.

C. understand D. refuse.

5.We can know from the passage that Chinese English ___________.

A. is clear and natural to native speakers

B. is well received by native speakers

C. is widely used in America

D. may bring inconvenience in America

6.The best title of the passage might be __________.

A. Great Mother

B. Natural English
