(2016·天津市十二区县一模)
Amy Chua is the author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”．In the book，Chua，also a professor at Yale Law School，states her child­bringing­up method learned from her parents moving here from China years ago：no sleepovers，no television，no grades lower than an A.
“We guessed her book would cause much disagreement，” Wang Feifei，editor at CITIC Publishing House，told the reporter.“We don’t take it as a traditional parenting book，largely because it involves cross­cultural conflict.” The book has been available online since Mid­January and ranked No.80 in sales on Joyo.com，a Chinese version of Amazon.It is to receive wider distribution(发行) at bookstores after the Feb.3 Chinese New Year holiday.
The book has struck a nerve with Americans，especially American mothers.An article published earlier this month in the Wall Street Journal，called Why Chinese Mothers are Better，lit a strong reaction(The article now has close to 8,000 comments and most of them are critical，many of them completely unfriendly)．
And that’s just what she did on Tuesday night’s show “The Colbert Report”．The host Step
hen Colbert put Chua on the spot.“People have accused you of saying that the Chinese way of raising a child is better to what Western mothers do.True or false？” he asked.“Uh...false，” Chua replied，her voice uncertain.Colbert seized the opportunity to point out Chua’s inconsistency(不一致)．“So you raised your children in a worse way？” Chua made a set of defensive talking points，some of them more convincing than others.Her arguments in defense of strict parenting were “I think if you give a 5 or 8­year­old free choice，I think that’s going to be video games.” Chua thinks that anyone can be what she calls a “Chinese Mother”；all you have to do is to demand hard work，determination and discipline from your children.“I think they are fundamental American values.”
