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.
【C13】
选项 A、roles
B、techniques
C、solutions
D、hypothesis
答案B
解析 空格前的these two parenting…指代本文前面几段一直论述两种不同文化中的育儿方式，可以看出，育儿非常讲究技巧，故选B项techniques“技能”。空格后的方式状语“通过分析孩子的积极性与他们母亲之间的关联”(by analyzing…mothers)说明的是育儿方式，并不是讨论母亲的角色，故排除A项roles。C项solutions“解决办法”，通常指对某一个具体问题提出的解决办法，语境不对。D项hypothesis“假设”，是指没有验证过的观点，而本文的育儿方式是已经实践过了的。
