Question

Read the passage from "Two Kinds.”

I could see why my mother was fascinated by the music. It was being pounded out by a little Chinese girl, about nine years old, with a Peter Pan haircut. The girl had the sauciness of a Shirley Temple. She was proudly modest like a proper Chinese Child. And she also did this fancy sweep of a curtsy, so that the fluffy skirt of her white dress cascaded slowly to the floor like the petals of a large carnation.

Which Chinese cultural values are revealed by the passage?

obedience and self-control
self-control and conformity
conformity and love of family
obedience and good reputation
