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.
【C3】
选项 A、frequent
B、normal
C、common
D、unique
答案C
解析 根据本句已知的信息，此处是对两个地域的人所采取的两种不同育儿方式的比较。the more relaxing style在欧美文化中更常见，故选C项common“常见的”。A项frequent“经常性的”指的是频率，不适合修饰style。B项normal“正常的”，指某种状态没有问题，不符合此处指“大多数人都一致”的说法。D项unique“独特的”，“宽容的育儿方式”在其他文化中也存在，故此种说法太过于绝对。
