举一反三
Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader's Digest that she's a little strange about how her book struck so many nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.
Reader's Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?
Amy: I don't think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn't for the Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.
Reader's Digest: What's your view on your parenting?
Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn't believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don't spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book's message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don't just let them watch TV all the time. I don't think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy's second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it's important to find a balance.
I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they're older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.

Choose the best answer.
He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves.
  One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance. It was a little stone that tripped him up(绊倒). He observed the stone that had embarrassed(难堪) him, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel(宝石) covered with dust. The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone's arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a bold thought—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How magnificent it will be!
  His ordinary life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds.
  Gradually, his small bag couldn't hold his stones anymore and he needed to use a wheelbarrow to carry them. People didn't understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones.
  After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. No one was willing to join in. But the postman was unmoved, still happily building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him.
  After 20 years of working day and night, the postman's dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. It was a miracle arising from the ordinary.
  This is a real story. The postman's name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called“ ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval.”At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.”
