Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎妈战歌) . tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential( 潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

>【题文】[二] （20分）
退步与向前
王也
（1）唐朝布袋和尚《插秧诗》曰：“手把青秧插满田，低头便见水中天。心地清净方为道，退步原来是向前。”布袋和尚是从现实劳动中退步插秧的情境来阐述参禅的境界。
（2）社会在进步，人类在进步，每个人的成长也是在进步，当人们为了达到一个目标时，非千方百计克服困难不可。如果是非达到不可的，能停下来甚至退下来想想，就可以另辟蹊径寻找更加适合自己的道路，何必非去挤独木桥不可？这就是人们常说的“退一步海阔天空”。如自唐朝始的科举，多少学子为此而孜孜不倦、刻苦学习熬成白头？因此出现了范进中举而精神失常的情况，更多的是像孔乙己一样的心不如愿，贫困潦倒。但是，也有不少学子知难而退，却取得非凡成就。
（3）作家刘诚龙做过一次有趣的调查，他把两份名单给人看，问是否熟悉这些人名。第一份名单是：傅以渐、王式丹、毕沅、林召堂、王云锦、刘子壮、陈沅、刘福姚、刘春霖。第二份名单是：李渔、顾炎武、金圣叹、黄宗羲、吴敬梓、蒲松龄、洪秀全、袁世凯。结果，被调查者多数对第一份名单中的人一无所知，而对第二份名单耳熟能详。谜底最后揭晓：第一份名单里的人，全是清朝的科举状元；第二份里的人，全是当时的落第举子！
（4）想当年，第一份名单上的人多么显赫啊！但由于在官场上的打磨，以致状元郎归于平庸，湮没无闻。而第二份名单中的人，名落孙山，与高官厚禄无缘。但是，他们很快调整心态，在逆境中奋起，有的成为思想家，有的成为文学家，有的成为农民领袖，有的成为一代枭雄，声名鹊起，载入史册。
（5）不少生活实践告诉我们，农人插秧，一步步倒退，退到最后，秧便插好了，看起来是退步，实则是向前。船舶前行，双桨却往后划动；箭拉得越往后，射出的距离就越远……
（6）不少青年人有着远大的理想，更有不少到处碰壁还执迷不悟。我们要鼓励勇往直前，也要劝告毫无进展的人及时认清方向转型，善于退步，才能找到更加适合自己的发展道路。电视剧《潜伏》中有一句台词：“有一种胜利叫做撤退。”退，有时是为了更好地进。
【小题1】．本文的中心论点是什么？（4分）
                                                               。
【小题2】．第三段所举事例具有怎样的作用？（4分）
                                                                                          
【小题3】．仿照第五段划线句，再列举一个事例。（4分）
                                                                                           
【小题4】．你是如何理解第六段“退，有时是为了更好地进”这句话的？（4分）
                                                                                           
【小题5】．请简述本文的论述过程。（4分）
                                                                  

阅读下面短文，根据其内容完成后面各项任务。

I and many other people in Britain love charity (慈善) shops because we can find them on every street. The charity shops sell all kinds of things and they are very cheap.

The first charity shop was opened by Oxfam in 1947. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross Shop. There I always find children's books, all 10 to 20 pence each. They are really cheap.

Most of the shop workers in charity shops are volunteers (志愿者), ________ each shop has a manager and he gets some money. Every morning you see bags of things outside the shops. Some people bring and put them there without waiting for thanks. In fact, over 90% of the things in charity shops are from kind people.

All the money the shops get goes to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million pounds every year. The money is for sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and many others. In a charity shop you can get cheap but nice things. You might even feel special while shopping.

If possible, let's do something for charity together.

1.What do the charity shops sell?

2.从短文中找出可以替换下面所给句子的一句话。

Oxfam opened the first charity shop in 1947.

3.在短文第三段的空白处填人一个适当的连词，使句意完整通顺。
