Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother
In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities.Every child is different.So depending on children's natural predispositions（秉性）,different career paths will make them happy.Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor.If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking.He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?

Messages from the Media
1.The weather forecast,a story about the candidates in an election,and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media.A communication medium , of which the plural（复数的） form is media,is a means of communicating a message.Examples of media are television,radio, newspapers and books and the telephone.The media that can reach many people at once are callemass media.
2.It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media.Every day we get hundreds of them.Think about advertisements,for example.We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go.Advertisements are important messages,even though they are sometimes annoying.They help us compare and evaluate products.
3.Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom.Think for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events.Do you depend on other people or the media?What about international news?What is the most important source of information for you?People who are asked this question usually answer,"Television".
4.Think of all the messages you received today.Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards（露天广告牌）on your way to school.Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning?Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication一a book.
5.We use the information we get from radio,television,newspapers and other media to make decisions and form opinions.That is why the mass media are so important.Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote,consumer reports on television help up decide how to spend our money,and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace.

Dog-racing and Wagering
Most of the dogs participating in organized competition are male or female greyhounds,although races between whippets and between salukis are also held.The racing greyhound,a slender,graceful animal weighing about 29kg(about 65lb),is in its prime at approximately the age of three; however,it actively competes between the ages of one and five.It can attain speeds of up to 64km/h (40mph).The price of a trained racing greyhound depends on its record in competition.During its racing life an outstanding greyhound may earn up to $200,000 in purses and breeding fees.
Most dog-racing stadiums have specially designed facilities consisting of a grandstand,a running track, kennels, accommodations for pari-mutuel（赛马赌金计算器）betting, a judges' stand,and a system of floodlights to accommodate night racing.The racing area proper varies but is approximately 402m(1/4 mile)in length and averages 6m(20ft)in width.Its inside circumference is ringed by a metal rail along which the lure is propelled by electrical power.There are some 55 tracks currently active in the United States.
Races in the United States are commonly held at the distances of 503m(5/16 mile),604m (3/8 mile),and 704m(7/16 mile).About 13 races are run during a given program,with 8 or 9 greyhounds competing in each race.The competing greyhounds are muzzled（戴上嘴套）to assist the judges in photo finishes and as a precaution against fighting.They are raced in brightly colored numbered jackets to facilitate identification by judges and spectators.
As a prelude to each race,the mechanical lure is set in motion in full view of the greyhounds, which are confined in a starting box.When the lure is approximately 6m(20ft)beyond the starting box,the dogs are released in pursuit.As the race progresses,the speed of the lure is controlled so that it remains in advance of the pack.If any of the dogs interfere with the lure at any point short of the finish line,the race is automatically declared null and void.
Wagering and the prospect of winning large purse amounts are the important elements in the appeal of the sport to both spectators and greyhounds owners.American stakes offer prizes up to $200,000.In the U.S.,greyhound racing is ranked sixth among spectator sports.Wagering is legal in the states of Alabama,Arizona,Arkansas,Colorado,Connecticut,Florida,Idaho,Iowa,Kansas, Massachusetts,Nevada,New Hampshire,Oregon,Rhode Island,South Dakota,Texas,Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.In 1988,some 27 million spectators wagered in excess of $3 billion at U.S.dog-racing tracks.

Railroad Supersystem
In recent years,railroads have been combining with each other,merging into supersystems, causing heightened concerns about monopoly.As recently as 1995,the top four railroads accounted for under 70 percent of the total ton一miles moved by rails.Next year,after a series of mergers is completed,just four railroads will control well over 90 percent of all the freight moved by major rail carriers.
Supporters of the new supersystems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service.Any threat of monopoly,they argue,is removed by fierce competition from trucks.But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances,such as coal,chemicals,and grain,trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are served by only one rail company.Railroads typically charge such"captive"shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do
when another railroad is competing for the business.Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to appeal to the federal government's Surface Transportation Board for rate relief,but the process is expensive,time consuming,and will work only in truly extreme cases.
Railroads justify rate discrimination against captive shippers on the grounds that in the long run it reduces everyone's cost.If railroads charged all customers the same average rate,they argue, shippers who have the option of switching to trucks or other forms of transportation would do so, leaving remaining customers to shoulder the cost of keeping up the line.It's a theory to which many economists subscribe,but in practice it often leaves railroads in the position of determining which companies will flourish and which will fail."Do we really want railroads to be the arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace?"asks Martin Bercovici,a Washington lawyer who frequently represents shippers.
Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be hit with a round of huge rate increases.The railroad industry as a whole,despite its brightening fortunes,still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic.Yet railroads continue to borrow billions to acquire one another,with Wall Street cheering them on.Consider the $10.2 billion bid by Norfolk Southern and CSX to acquire Conrail this year.Conrail's net railway operating income in 1996 was just$427 million,less than half of the carrying costs of the transaction.Who's going to pay for the rest of the bill?Many captive shippers fear that they will,as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip on the market.

Water Resources on the Earth
The second most important constituent（构成成分）of the biosphere（生物圈）is liquid water.This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures,since water freezes at 0℃and boils a 100℃．Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet which had temperature: somewhere within this narrow range.
The earth's supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity.The total quantity of water is not known very accurately,but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers.Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans一about 97 percent.The rest is fresh.But three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the poles and or mountains and cannot be used by living systems until melted.Of the remaining fraction,which h somewhat less than one percent of the whole.There is 10—20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface.There is also a tiny,but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.
Water vapour in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water circulation（循环） of the biosphere has to pass.Water evaporated（蒸发）from the surface of the oceans,from lakes and rivers and from moist（潮湿的）earth is added to it.From it the water comes out again as rain or snow,falling on either the sea or the land.There is,as might be expected, a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea and oceans than over the land,but there is more rainfall over the land than over the oceans and the balance is restored by the run off from the land in the form of rivers.

Father's Day:All Happy Families Are Alike
Some writers are so consumed by their art that their families are eclipsed,while other writers manage an enviable closeness with their loved ones.On the occasion of Father's Day,RBTH recalls what kind of fathers the great Russian writers were and what became of their children.
Leo Tolstoy,the giant of Russian literature,and his wife Sofia had 13 children,five of whom died in childhood.Tolstoy was very attentive to his family,but as his daughter Tatyana recalled, "________(46)"Tolstoy was more interested in them when they had grown up a little,when he would play with them and tell them stories.

Maria grew into a pretty young girl and a future lady-in-waiting（侍女）to the Empress, and some say that Tolstoy even gave her likeness to Anna Karenina.His eldest son Alexander emerged as a hero of the Russian-Turkish war and attained the rank of general,while the youngest son Grigory became a magistrate（法官）.
Pushkin's youngest daughter,the beautiful Natalya,was born just eight months before her father's fateful duel.She became the morganatic（非皇室的）spouse of the Prussian Prince Nikolai.Maria and Grigory did not have children,while Alexander fathered 13,and Natalya six.________ (50)
