"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.

16. From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.

A. is out of date in modern times.

B. is disagreed by rich parents.

C. is still worth trusting

D. is deeply believed by better educated parent.

17. The underlined sentence means tha t _____

A. Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.

B. Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.
