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.
【C14】
选项 A、argument
B、control
C、overlap
D、communication
答案C
解析 本句的and说明其前后的两个分句意思为并列或顺承关系。根据后一个分句“……更能接受母亲对自己生活的干涉”和本段最后一句“欧美学生说母亲让他们感受更多的独立感”可以对比出，亚裔美国孩子对母亲的依赖性更强，故选C项overlap“重叠部分”，意为“亚裔美国学生看到自己与母亲之间更多的相同点”。A项argument“争论”，如果有争论，孩子就不会那么容易接受母亲的干涉了。B项control“控制”，后常接over，表示一方对另一方的控制，而不是用between表示双方之间。D项communication“交流”，本文并无比较哪种家庭父母和孩子之间的交流更多。
