选项 A、relief
B、responsibility
C、burden
D、business

答案 C

解析 词汇类试题;上下文类试题。relief:the easing of a burden or distress,such as pain。anxiety。oroppression“减缓:缓解负担或忧虑,如痛苦、焦虑或压抑”。responsibility:something for which one isresponsible;a duty,an obligation“责任:一个人应对之负责的事情;职责、义务”。burden:a source of greatworry or stress;weight“负担,重任:担忧或压抑的源泉;重负”。根据上下文判断,这里应当使用含贬义的词汇,即子女不情愿接受的义务,正与亚洲文化相反。
