A new book about Chinese-style tough parenting has caused debate in the US．Amy Chua, the author of Battle Hymn (颂歌)of the Tiger Mother, is a Chinese-American professor at Yale Law School, also a mother of two．

The 　36　 　methods she used with her daughters would seem 　37　 　to Westerners．In school her daughters weren't allowed to have grades 　38　 　than As．They had to 　39　 playing the piano or violin even for hours a day．
