The Chinese traditionally do not use dairy products in their dishes. They do eat pork(猪肉) though, but it is cooked separately. So Chinese food is prepared in a similar way to Jewish food.

【推荐3】How much should a parent be involved in a child’s life? Actually how a child is raised is more of a cultural choice than a personal choice. That is, every country or culture seems to have a typical way to raise children.
One difference on raising children is at what age and to what extent (程度) they are given freedom outside the home. The government and the people of Norway believe that it is better for children to learn to be independent from a very early age. Almost all children are typically sent to daycare at age one in Norway. ________ when it comes to raising independent children. In fact, it would not be uncommon for a Japanese child to walk or ride a bike or take a public bus to school alone or even to shop at a local store without a parent. On the other hand, in Kenya, children stay with their mothers the whole day.
Another difference in child raising is found in how parents guide a child on his or her path in life. In many Asian cultures, studying begins at a very early age. The idea is that it is never too early to start learning. The parent’s role is to educate their child or to provide the ways for education through private lessons or lessons in school. The “tiger mom” is a term used in China for a mother who strongly pushes her children to do well at school and in other activities. The goal for the parents in these countries is to raise smart and successful children. On the other hand,parents in the Netherlands believe it is not good to push a child too hard in their studies. Instead, the key is more on letting children enjoy childhood and get plenty of rest.
In the end, there doesn’t seem to be a right or wrong way to raise children. One way is not better than another. However, culture and how we are raised affect who we become. Showing our culture’s methods of raising children or looking back on our childhood can help us understand why we might see the world the way we do.
