爸爸(Dad) 篇1

The first memory I have of him- of anything, really is his strength. It was in the late afternoon in a house under construction near ours. The unfinished wood floor had large, terrifying holes whose big and opening darkness I knew led to nowhere good. His powerful hands,then age 33, wrapped all the way around my tiny arms, then age 4, and easily swung me up to his shoulders to command all I surveyed.

The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. It may grow and flourish in mutual maturity. It may sour in hated dependence or independence. With many children living in single-parent homes today, it may not even exist.

But to a little boy right after World War II, a father seemed a god with strange strengths and strange powers enabling him to do and know things that no mortal could do or know. Amazing things, like putting a bicycle chain back on,just like that. Or building a hamster cage. Or guiding a Jigsaw

so it forms the letter F: I learned the alphabet that way in those pre-television days.

There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake. None of those cold little finger grips, but a good firm squeeze accompanied by an equally strong gaze into the others eyes. “The first thing anyone knows about you is your handshake , he would say. And we d practice it each night on his return from work, the serious toddler in the battered Cleveland Indians cap running up to the giant father to shake hands again and again until it was firm enough.

我对他的第一印象―一对他的任何事情的第一印象，说真的――是他的力量，Dad(爸爸)，考研英语作文《Dad(爸爸)》。在一个下午的晚些时候，在我家附近的工地上，那尚未完工的木制地板张着它那巨大恐怖的黑糊糊的嘴，给人以不祥之预感。父亲时年33岁，他用他那有力的双手抱起了4岁的我，把我放在他的肩膀上，让我岛瞰一切。

父子之间的关系随着时间的变化而变化。它可以在父子间共同的成熟过程中发展深化，也会在充满怨恨的不独立或独立的过程中变坏。由于现今社会许多孩子生活

爸爸(Dad) 篇2

“狼爸”和“虎妈”引发的关于孩子教育方式的讨论渐趋平静，“鹰爸”又来了。前段时间，一段4岁“裸跑弟”的视频引来网民关注。视频里，在美国纽约零下十三度的暴雪中，一名来自南京的4岁幼童在“鹰爸”的要求下裸跑。“裸跑弟”一边跑，一边带着哭腔，不想再跑了。教师出身的“鹰爸”表示，孩子早产，医生曾诊断说可能痴呆，但经过自己3年的极限训练，孩子智商潜力已高达218。对于这种极限教育方式，人们褒贬不一。

Speaking of education, there were “Wolf Dad” and “Tiger Mom” in the past; now here comes an “Eagle Dad”. Recently, a video that showed a little boy running naked in heavy snow was posted online and quickly attracted netizens’ attention.

The video was shot in New York, in the snow, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius below zero. In the video, a 4-year-old boy from Nanjing was running in the snow, wearing only underwear

and instructed by his father.

Some people criticized his parents for being cruel. But his dad, surnamed He, said the 4-year-old boy, Duoduo, was born premature and had a series of complications, so he designed a set of physical training and mental education programs for the boy.

The dad said he’s also taught his son kung fu, dancing, cycling and mountain climbing—and has thrown the boy into freezing water to toughen him up.

“I also give him ice cream on cold winter days to train his stomach to get used to the cold,” he said.

And the three years of extreme training proved effective. The child’s potential IQ is up to 218 and he has been admitted in advance to a primary school. “Now Duoduo is very healthy; he has never been to a hospital since delivery,” said Mr. He in interviews with local media in Nanjing.

Mr. He called himself “Eagle Dad” as eagles are known for their tough parenting, such as pushing their offspring out of the nest to force them to fly.

During the training process, Mr. He also wrote a book on how he trained and educated his son. The book, entitled Busy Dad, Lazy Dad Parenting Guide, will be published soon.

The story of “Eagle Dad” has led to a fresh debate over tough parenting style, which was also described in the controversial Amy Chua’s book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Mr. He is under huge pressure because of his tough parenting.

Criticism on the Internet

Almost 70% of the netizens opposed his training method, 20% took a neutral stance, and only 10% thought his educational method was worth a try. Many netizens said Mr. He is a “vicious father” who deprives his child of a happy childhood. Imposing his own will onto a young child, it is not education but destructive enthusiasm.

Experts’ view

“It is possible for premature babies to strengthen themselves through physical training as kids are highly adaptive,” said a child care expert.

With a scientific program, physical training, even sometimes proper “freeze” in cold, can enhance a child’s resistance. But it is not applicable to all children. One should take a look at a child’s physical ability; do not use force, or else it would be counterpro-ductive.

“Eagle Dad’s” voice

“Eagle Dad” is unwavering to all the public opinion. “Naked cold training is a common educational method in Japan, South Korea and other countries. Why are we so shocked about it?” Mr. He said he hopes his son is not growing up like a flower in the greenhouse, becoming a spoiled “little emperor”. “Eagle Dad” told the reporter he would stick to training his son in his own way.

Has “Tiger Mom” gone soft?

虎妈变了？

Has “Tiger Mom” gone soft? One year after the release of her controversial book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua is back in the spotlight.

“I’ve changed a lot,” she told The Huffington Post. “In October, we had 30 kids at our house! We’ve hosted parties with lots of food and music.”

“I never checked (my elder daughter Sophia’s) papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus,” Chua said. “I know she is going to make mistakes in college.”

Instead of forcing her younger daughter Lulu to play the violin for hours a day, Chua “let her give that up” now. “My compromise is that I’m going to be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of social freedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!” Chua said.

Now, with the book published already, Chua kept saying that Battle Hymn was always meant as a memoir, not a guide. Many of the scenes she described in the book are a far cry from the parenting style she advocates. “I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back,” she said.

爸爸(Dad) 篇3

Mr. Wale Shofunlayo is perhaps the happiest man at the moment. This is understandable， considering that his wife was safely delivered of five babies at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital （LUTH）.

His friends have “disturbed” him with questions like this，“Well， can it be true？How did you do it？”he told Daily Sun in an interview. Since the arrival of the pleasant surprise， Mr. Shofunlayo has been full of praises to God and the hospital.

Smiling heartily as he spoke， he revealed that his wife was moved to the hospital two months after being pregnant so that she could be under the close watch of medical experts. “She spent seven months here at LUTH so they could take care of her，” he said， revealing that throughout the period， he did not fear anything would go wrong. His confidence was reinforced during the course.

“I feel great and thank almighty God for his mercy. I also give great praises to the doctors and nurses that handled the caesarean section（剖腹产） ，” he said. According to him， about 50 medical personnel， led by Professor Ajayi， handled the operation. Professor Ajayi said that until the last minute， they were expecting four kids， based on the scan conducted. “After the four were brought out， Prof. Ajayi suspected something was still inside. He gently pressed it and soon another baby was brought out.”

“It was a surprise. I was actually expecting four，” his wife said. She added the babies were healthy with four of them weighing about 1.5 kilogrammes each while one weighed 1.8 kilogrammes.

For now， Ward B， where Mrs. Olayemi is recovering， is the most visited building in the hospital with many excited persons， eager for a glimpse of the mother and her kids. The babies are， however， still under special care and there’s a restriction on visitors into the unit.

B. Prof. Ajayi is a skilled and responsible doctor.

C. Mrs. Shofunlayo spent nine months in hospital in all.

D. The fifth baby weighed about 1.8 kilogrammes.

答案与解析

1. D。推理判断题。根据Shofunlayo朋友的话可推测出他的朋友们不太相信他妻子成功产下五个婴儿，即对此感到十分吃惊。

2. C 。推理判断题。通读全文可知Shofunlayo的妻子在这家医院进行了成功的剖腹产，并产下五名婴儿，民众也对此很兴奋。此外，Daily Sun也对此进行了采访、报道。根据以上分析容易推断出这家医院会因为这次成功的剖腹产而赢得巨大的荣誉，所以C项正确。

3. A。推理判断题。本段叙述了怀孕两个月后Shofunlayo就把他的妻子送到医院接受医生们的细致监护。据此不难推断出Shofunlayo对他的妻子十分体贴，很爱自己的妻子。

4. B。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知Mrs. Shofunlayo和她的孩子们仍然在这家医院的医护人员的监护下。

5. B 。细节理解题。根据第五段的“I was actually expecting four”可知第五个婴儿的出生，在Mrs. Shofunlayo的意料之外，但并不是说她不喜欢第五个婴儿，所以A项表述错误；根据第四段的最后两句，可知Prof. Ajayi并没有完全依靠胎儿影像抱出四个婴儿后而结束手术，而是根据自己的经验、医术及责任心又成功抱出第五个婴儿，所以B项为正确答案；根据第三段的“She spent seven months here”可知C项错误；文章只是提到了四个婴儿每个约重1.5千克，另外一个重1.8千克，但并没指明是第五个婴儿重1.8千克，所以D项也是错误的。

【难句分析】

1. Smiling heartily as he spoke， he revealed that his wife was moved to the hospital two months after being pregnant so that she could be under the close watch of medical experts. 他边说边开心地笑，他透露到，妻子怀孕2个月后就被送到医院了，以便接受医学专家们的密切监护。

分析 这是一个复合句。“as he spoke”为时间状语从句，其中的Smiling heartily为现在分词做状语；“his wife was moved... ”是revealed的宾语从句，而该从句又包括了一个so that引导的目的状语从句；介词短语“after being pregnant”在宾语从句中做状语。

2. Professor Ajayi said that until the last minute， they were expecting four kids， based on the scan conducted. Ajayi教授说，根据胎儿影像扫描（的结果），直到最后一分钟，他们都认为是四个孩子。

分析 这是一个主从复合句。said后面所有的部分是said的宾语从句。该从句中，“until the last minute”和“based on the scan conducted”均为状语。

3. She added the babies were healthy with four of them weighing about 1.5 kilogrammes each while one weighed 1.8 kilogrammes. 她补充道，孩子们都还健康，其中的四个孩子每个约重1.5千克，而另一个重1.8千克。

分析 这是一个复合句。added后面为宾语从句。“with four of them weighing about 1.5 kilogrammes each”为with的复合结构做定语，而“while one weighed 1.8 kilogrammes”为while引导的状语从句。

4. For now， Ward B， where Mrs. Olayemi is recovering， is the most visited building in the hospital with many excited persons， eager for a glimpse of the mother and her kids. 现在，Mrs. Olayemi正在B病房中恢复，而B病房也成了这家医院拜访人数最多的地方，许多人都渴望看一眼这位母亲和她的孩子们。
