The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual. And each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not knowing what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is influenced by our culture.
Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.
To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still seek their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. (82)
But once they "leave the nest" at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not "tied to their mother’s apron strings. "
(83)
The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves.
They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.
Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so that Morn can work. (84)
Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children.
A number of women are now leaving the work force to become full-time homemakers.

Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise children (and not lose your sanity).
Some people are just deciding not to have children at all, since they’re not sure it’s worth it. But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that? [br]
选项
答案
对于哪一种安排才是最好的,许多美国人都有自己强烈的主张。有些人认为进幼儿园对孩子而言是很正常的经历,另一群人则坚持母亲是照顾孩子的最佳人选。
解析
(argue在此处不译为“争论,辩论”,在sb. argue sth. 结构中常译成“某人认为”。)
