They probably came about just to give children something to do.(76) In the ancient world, as is

2、today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.

3、in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.(77) What is remarkable about the history of toys is not se much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsman ship, mechanics, and technology. I

4、t is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and w

5、ays of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use

6、. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步).The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness.

13、Coles is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children.

14、ys the 53 - year- old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. (78) But most important is the quality of family life. Money cant buy love.“ It can buy a lot of other things, however, and thats where the trouble starts Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often

15、become confused. Overindulgence(娇养) by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.(79) “But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,“ adds Mr. Col

16、es,“ and they are more self- assured. “The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income.

17、with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth.

26、he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a

27、better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last.All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief
