China’s new term, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.

In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao gold.” The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words — dama and hukou — which may also make it into the dictionary.

People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.

“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,” she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means “connection”; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.

The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. “It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

A. Dama and hukou have made it into Oxford English dictionary.

B. Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.

C. tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.

D. John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.

2.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Give orders to others. B. Get ready to help others.

C. Go on a diet. D. Put on weight.

3.Tuhao becomes more popular in September partly because ______.

A. it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary

B. it is often used by the online community

C. people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning

D. Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone

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

A. tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictionary

B. sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood

C. tuhao has a new meaning at the present time

D. Oxford English Dictionary Includes new words faster than before

Amy Chua, a professor of law in Yale, nicknamed as Tiger Mother, has started a debate over Chinese-style parenting. Amy sets “10 Rules” for her two daughters. For instance, they’ve to get As in all subjects and play the piano or violin and practice hours every day.

There has been wide criticism(批评) across the US. “It’s kind of extreme,” said Jeffrey Seinfeld, a professor at New York University. “Children need parents who can guide them, not force them...”

Lawrence Solomon, a famous journalist for Canada’s Globe and Mail, has quoted statistics to show the failure of Chinese parenting. He writes that only 10 Chinese scientists outside the Chinese mainland have won the Nobel Prize in the past century. In contrast, American scientists have won more than 300 Nobel prizes, and Jews(犹太人), who take up only 1% of the world’s population, have got at least 180 (or almost one-fourth) of the prizes.

However, Amy’s strict rules help her daughters shine in their studies. The elder sister is known for her piano presentation at the Carnegie Hall, and the younger boasts an excellent academic record.

Besides, US statistics show that Chinese-Americans take up only 5% of the US population but 20% of the students in Ivy League schools(常春藤学校).

Likewise, Chinese-Canadians take up more than one-third of the students in Canada’s two most famous universities, Toronto University and the University of British Columbia. Influenced by Confucius’ teachings, students from Korea and Japan are also excelling in academic fields.

Therefore, the Nobel Prize should not be taken as the yardstick of a country’s education. No culture or tradition, whether Eastern or Western, is better or worse. The same applies to Eastern and Western education systems. Both sides should stop using their concepts and criteria to judge the other. They should learn the good aspects of each other’s systems and clear the misunderstandings.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. there’re about 720 Nobel Prizes in the 20th century

B. Jeffrey Seinfeld agrees children need pushing to succeed

C. Amy Chua’s parenting style is widely accepted across America

D. Western concepts should be adopted to judge all education systems

2.What does the author think of the Chinese-style parenting?

A. Valuable.B. Unreliable.

C. Unchangeable.D. Flexible.

3. The underlined word “yardstick” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A. yardB. footstep

C. standardD. chopsticks

4.How does this passage develop?

A. By inferring.B. By comparing.

C. By reasoning.D. By explaining.
