8、n bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child“s acquisition(学会) of each new skill the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous fee

9、lings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or

10、without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at ni

11、ght or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child“s own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a

They fear that “assembly-line life“ will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What

24、 will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940“s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, a

25、nd the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted

26、against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world.
