(2019·重庆七校高三上学期联合考试)The job of raising children is a tough one.  Children don't  come with  an  instruction  manual (说明书). And  each  child  is    __1__. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration,   not   __2__   what to do. But in raising children, what we do is     __3__ by our culture.  Naturally then, American parents teach  their children basic American   __4__.

To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children __5__   on their own feet. From  __6__， each child may get his  or her own room.  As children grow, they get more   __7__   to  make their own choices.   __8__ choose their own forms of  entertainment, as well as the friends to   __9__   them with. When  they   __10__    young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and  marriage  __11__.   Of course, many young adults still  __12__    their  parents' advice and approval for the choices they make. But once  they “leave the __13__” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want   to be on their own, not      __14__      to their mothers'  apron  strings (围裙带)．

       The relationship between parents and children in America is  very informal. American parents  __15__  their children as  individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They    __16__    them   to achieve their own dreams. Americans praise, encourage and  give their children the  __17__   to succeed. When children  become adults, their parents become more like __18__.  But     __19__   to popular belief, most adult Americans don't make their  parents pay for room and board when their parents come to __20__ them. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.
