问题     Social science has weighed in on the "tiger mom" debate, and it looks like everyone is right: Both over-protective and laid-back mothers can raise successful children.
    Three years after Yale law professor Amy Chua’s controversial article, "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior," in the Wall Street Journal, Stanford researchers Alyssa Fu and Hazel Markus have published a study exarnining the effectiveness of the【C1】________. high-pressure parenting Chua【C2】________and the more relaxing style【C3】________ in European-American culture.
    They found both parenting styles can be【C4】________; the key is in how the child views his or her relationship with the mother. In Asian-American culture, children are often expected to rely on their families,【C5】________traditionally European-American families【C6】________value and encourage independence. Parental pressure【C7】________different reactions in each culture: Asian-American students said they felt like parent involvement in their lives is a form of support, while European-American children【C8】________the pressure to perform.
    "These findings underline the importance of understanding cultural【C9】________in how people interpret themselves and their relationships to others," the researchers wrote. "European-American mothers who assume that achievement is an individual project may be right to believe that too much involvement can【C10】________motivation. Tiger Mothers who assume that achievement is a group project may be equally right to【C11】________that parental involvement is【C12】________for motivation."
    The researchers evaluated these two different parenting【C13】________by analyzing the connections between children’s motivation and their mothers. Across the studies, Asian-American students saw more【C14】________between themselves and their mothers and were more accepting of their mothers’ involvement in their lives. These students viewed pressure from their mothers【C15】________and said it motivated them in times of 16 . European-American students, on the other hand, reported feeling more independent from their mothers and seeing pressure to succeed【C17】________a lack of support rather than a source of motivation.
    Parents might take some comfort knowing that,【C18】________ Chua’s battle cries for stricter childrearing, it looks like parenting isn’t quite so clear-cut. And dissatisfied white kids can【C19】________, too: They now have the social science to【C20】________ignoring their mothers.
【C16】
选项 A、failure
B、education
C、quarrel
D、illness
答案A
解析 空格所在句和后一句就学生的成功与母亲所给予的压力作比较，且需要人给予鼓励的一般是人处于低谷的时候，故选A项failure“失败”。B项education“教育”、C项quarrel“争吵”都不符合此处的语境。并不是人处于低谷时的情况。D项illness“生病”虽然属于低谷时期，但此时更需要的是照顾而不是鼓励。
