　　(2016·洛阳市统考)

　　“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 pre­college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.

　　“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 17­year­old 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 show 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.
