问题补充：
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. I got a red flower today. Could you please sign签字 this note? he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is OK, but often he gets You can do better than this. Mum knows what it means. She tells me You can do better than this means Extremely bad in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is Please be nicer tomorrow. Many parents are satisfied with对---满意 a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.

答案：
(答案→)B
解析：短文介绍了美国的教育依靠学生的自觉性与自主性。同时又介绍了中国的教育特点，家长对孩子的要求严格，并且学校给学生的作业量上也是较大的。
【小题1】细节理解题。问题：上周五，为什么泰德带着一封信回家？分析原句：The note showed that he had been talking in class.句意：信笺上写着，他已经在课堂上说话了。结合上文得知，他在学校做了错事，那就是在课堂乱说话。故选B
【小题2】细节理解题。问题：如果一名美国的学生在学校评语中得到了一个“OK”，它的意思是什么？分析原句：Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is OK.句意：泰德几乎得不了很高的成绩在他的学校学习。他得到最好的评语是“OK”。联系下文，因为他的表现不好，所以他经常得到的是“你能做的比这次好。”因此体现当学生在学校成绩中等的时候，评语为OK.故选 B
【小题3】细节理解题。问题：当美国的学生在学校得到一个B的成绩，他们的父母将会感受如何？分析原句：Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.句意：孩子在学校得了B成绩，许多家长是满意的。与满意相近的词汇为happy.故选D
【小题4】细节理解题。问题：划线部分在短文中的意思? 分析原文：But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children.句意：但是，事情在中国的学校有很大的不同。父母对孩子有很高的期望。同时结合实际情况，中国的父母对孩子的期望很高。因此划线部分为很高有期望。故选C
【小题5】细节理解题。问题：作者主要想告诉我们什么？分析文章的中心句：Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.句意：中国的教育太严吗？还是美国的教育不严？可能两者都是真的。从中心句中得出结论，重点在介绍中国与美国的教育上有所不同。故选A
