阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.

As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎妈战歌) . tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential( 潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).

Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.

So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

     Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one  thing is
sure——people  talk about  them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesn't actually
exist, that's quite something.
     In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although  they can be ①unpredictable. The
dragon was closely connected  to  the royal  family: theemperor's robes (礼袍) have a symbol of a gold
dragon with five claws. ②Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too,
but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According  to popular belief,  if you were born  in  the
year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
     But in the west, dragons had a different reputation (名声). The very first text in English, the
Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a
dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red
dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national
identity.
   ③Why should  the dragon have a different character  in different parts of  the world? Some experts
believe it is due to the animals that  the myths grew out of.  In  the west,  the  idea of  the dragon
probably came  from  the snake——an animal which people hated and ④____ ____of (害怕). 
     But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from  the alligator--a shy animal which lives in
rivers, but which  is usually only seen when  there  is plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业).
So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of ⑤good fortune.
