Question

一道英语阅读题

The job of raising* children is a difficult one. Each child is different. So parents sometimes get mad and don’t know what to do. But raising children is decided by our culture. American parents teach their children American values*.
To Americans, the goal* of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. Each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more freedom* to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of enjoyment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they grow up to be an adult, they choose their own jobs and get married. Of course, many young adults still follow their parents’ advice for the decision they make. But once they leave home at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not depend on their parents.
The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal*. American parents try to treat* their children as a different person, not just like them. They allow them to have their own dreams. Americans encourage their children to believe themselves. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship. But what is different is that adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect their parents.
