题文
"Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂）is a sign of love."Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been-but experts say they still ring true.
Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way tosuccess.
"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur(企业家）in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."
In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.
A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled," said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.
Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.
"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals," said Song Siyu.'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, they are not personal."
But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.
But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

解析
本文讲述了越来越多的中国家长把孩子送到VFMA来接受军事化的管理以提高孩子的各方面的素质，反应了家庭教育观念的变化。
小题1:C 推理题。根据第二段Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.说明打是亲，骂是爱着句话在现在仍然是有一部分道理的。现在的父母对孩子要求很严格，这也是一种爱的表现。故C正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据第五段第一行A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.说明另外还有很多中国的学生来到这个地方，所以And he is far from alone,这句话是指还有别的学生送他们的孩子来到这个学校，故C正确。
小题3:B 细节题。根据文章倒数3,4段Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.和"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals,说明ACD三项都是他做到的事情。B项的内容与文章不符，文章只是说不看食物，没有说闭着眼睛。故B符合文章要求。
小题4:D 计算题。根据A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.现在有28人，这里有3个人是今年剩下的，因为今年原来的13人中有10人走了，故说明原来只有25人。故D正确。
小题5:A 推理题。根据文章第五段Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.说明越来越多的中国家庭要送孩子来这里，故A正确。
