16、 help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are Urepressed/U in a fair, high-pressure center.

21、BPassage Two/BThere are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize

22、 their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow Uexplicit/U rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influenc

23、es how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens out- ward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to tak

24、e more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control.

34、in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat. Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainers question. After The final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped. The crowd went wild !The horses name was Clever Han

35、s, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍) act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner, Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty- eight, Hans would tap out six with his left

36、hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even mere remarkable, the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of mans !It wasnt until years later that the secret of the

37、 trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowds reaction.

41、rvesting. An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. There- fore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing t

42、rees seems to lie in “super-seeds.“ These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when the

43、se trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop.
