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 examining 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【C16】________. 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.
【C12】
选项 A、destructive
B、irrespective
C、beneficial
D、relative
答案C
解析 根据第三段中的“亚裔美国学生说他们认为家长在他们生活中的干涉是一种支持”，虎妈们认为父母的干涉当然是对孩子好的，故选C项beneficial“有利的”。如果父母的干涉是具有破坏性的(A项destructive)，孩子不会认为是一种支持。B项irrespective“无关的”。家长的干预不可能与孩子没有关系，且irrespective后面要接of。D项relative“相关的”，不能与上句进行比较。
