Early or Later Day Care
The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child&39;s personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby&39;s work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental sepa- ration it entails, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant a- lone far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread to- day if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicat- ed and controversial. Thirdly, in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children&39;s development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
But Bowlby&39;s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possi- bility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evi- dence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.
Which of the following statements would Bowlby support? 查看材料
A.Children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children over three.
B.The first three years of one"s life is extremely important to the later development of personality.
C.Early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illness in children.
D.Statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day care for children at the age of three or older.
听力原文: Christmas is a day for family members to get together. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. Everyone wants to spend this day with their family. And above all, it's the children's holiday. They like to be happy at this day.
The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they are very happy about this. They keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.
Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their socks and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the socks, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.
Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theatre puts on special shows for children. The circle is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, the audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circle has many funny persons who make people laugh.
Where do people want to spend Christmas?
A.In the park.
B.At home.
C.In a store.
听力原文: Father's Day was first observed in Spokane, Washington, in 1910. Mrs. Dodd first proposed the idea of a "Father's Day” in 1906. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, who was widowed when his wife died in childbirth after their sixth child was born. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself. Mrs. Dodd wanted Father's Day to be celebrated on the first Sunday in June, her father's birthday. But it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation, declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national ceremony of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June, coming almost sixty years after Mother's Day had been proclaimed a national holiday. Today, Father's day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as father-like figure, such as stepfathers, unless, grandfathers, and adult males.
