This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”,that is,in low spirits,until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don"t seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states,but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social posifions.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages;traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years,however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information to all viewers allke,whether they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑),many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print,as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain.Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.

There are some interesting variations (变种) regarding individual status. Some people, particularly in the West, consider themselves of such high status that they do not need to display it with their clothing. For example, many wealthy people in the entertainment industry appear in very casual clothes, such as the worn jeans and work boots of a manual laborer. However, it is likely that a subtle but important signal, such as an expensive wristwatch, will prevail over the message of the casual dress. Such an inverted (颠倒的)status display is most likely to occur where the person’s high status is conveyed in ways other than with clothing, such as having a famous face.
小题1:According to the author, fashions serve all the following purposes EXCEPT
A.satisfying an interest in novelty |
B.signaling a change in personal beliefs |
C.displaying membership in a social group |
D.following traditional rules |
A.To state that individual’s status is not important in the West |
B.To argue that individuals need not obey every fashion rule |
C.To contrast the status of entertainers with that of manual laborers |
D.To explain how high status may involve an inverted status display |
A.newness | B.convention | C.nobleness | D.benzene |

"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed," says a psychologist, "In order to take action, you have to work against them." Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.
●Why should I be the one? I"m probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
●What if he doesn"t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and figure out the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don"t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it"s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, "It looks like we should do something." Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you."
小题1:Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?
A.I"m not the very capable person. |
B.It looks like we should do something. |
C.No one else is concerned. |
D.He doesn"t really need my help. |
A.go directly to the police station |
B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble |
C.ask others for help and call the police |
D.work against the first thoughts that stop you from offering help |
A.to give others a hand | B.to be more able |
C.to explain their inaction | D.to evaluate the situation |
American instance of uniformity(一致性) is in habits and ways of living. From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same times of the day and have the same pattern of holidays. In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people, or between town and country, than in any single European nation.
Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture, and most of the rest live in or around towns, large and small. Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan(大城市的) areas.
The fact that the United states has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity. Modern industry favors large organizations, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American. The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers, but the products are all much alike.
小题1:In describing the uniformity in the U.S. the author does not mention that
A.the American people get up and go to work at the same time. |
B.the American people spend their holidays in the same pattern. |
C.the American people buy and eat the same kind of food. |
D.the American people have more or less the same income. |
A.The American farmers need more land than before. |
B.More and more Americans are interested in farming. |
C.It is quite modernized. |
D.It is now going backward. |
A.The production scale and the organizational scale are very big. |
B.It is a single economic unit that manufactures the same kind of products. |
C.There are more and more competing manufacturers. |
D.There are always a variety of products to choose from. |
A.food, clothing and houses. |
B.Cars, computers and TV sets. |
C.Their wealth and income. |
D.Land, housing and bank savings. |
