請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 French children are considered as behaving themselves much better than children from other countries. French children usually listen more to their parents but are also seen as being more independent. The reason why French children are "better" kids has to do with the different parenting style made by the French couple. French parents always think of themselves first and let their children know about it. They often follow the rule when teaching their children. For example, they never allow their children to have snacks between meals because they want their children to stay hungry when having their real meals. And when they say no to their children, they really mean it.People might think that French parents are hard with their children, but they are not, in fact. They never punish their children but teach them in a loving way. While letting themselves have the time besides being parents, French parents also give their children free time to be themselves. Early in their childhood, French children sleep on their own and do not share the bed with their parents. Similarly, German parents make their children lead an independent life earlier. For instance, they have their children walk to school by themselves and let them make their own decisions. Both French and German parents put an emphasis on teaching their children to be independent while also asking them to show their respect to their parents and other people. Another parenting style, which is called as the "Tiger Mom" style, aims at training their children under very hard conditions to make them become better persons in the future. In order to enable the children to reach the high goals set up by the parents, this kind of parenting often obeys a hard rule. Ignoring totally the children’s interests and needs, those parents always push their children to the limits and ask them to achieve impossible goals. Some people regard this kind of parenting as helpful to the children as certain children who are parented under this kind of style can achieve to a high level. But there are still others who see it as cruel and unhealthy. No matter what kind of parenting it is, it is better for the parents to think about whether their parenting style can suit their children. If not, it is wise for the parents to think about not hurting their relationship with their children. 【題組】 46 Who is most likely to write this article?
(A) A film director. (B) A music teacher. (C) A parenting expert. (D) An entertainment reporter.
