22、fficult to satisfy in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already. It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this; it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason,

23、 is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better endowed with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things, for it is not enough to have a good mind: what is most important is t

25、n fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my memory as capacious or prompt, as those of some other men. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it al

26、one makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of

33、 to three may scar a childs personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it entails, and many people do believe this

34、. 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 fathe

35、r and mother of a child did not rear their infant alone-far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and they have uniformly rep

36、orted that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibili

37、ty 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 pare

38、nts 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 evidence indicate

39、 early care is reasonable for infants.（分数：45.00）(1).Which of the following statements would Bowlby support?（分数：9.00）A.Statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day care for children at the age of three or older.B.Early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illn

40、ess in children.C.The first three years of ones life is extremely important to the later development of personality.D.Children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children over thre(2).Which of the following is derivable from Bowlbys work?（分数：9.00）A.Mothers should n

41、ot send their children to day care centers until they are three years or older.B.Day care nurseries have positive effects on a childs development.C.A child sent to a day care center before the age of three may have emotional problems in later life.D.Day care would not be so popular if it has noticea

42、ble effects on a childs personality.(3).It is suggested that modem societies differ from traditional societies in that _（分数：9.00）A.the parents-child relationship is more exclusive in modem societiesB.a child more often grows up with his/her brothers or sisters in traditional societiesC.a mother brin

43、gs up children with the help of her husband in traditional societiesD.children in modem societies are more likely to develop mental illness in later years(4).Which of the following statements is NOT an argument against Bowlbys theory?（分数：9.00）A.Many studies show that day care has a positive effect o

44、n childrens development.B.Day care is safe, otherwise there wouldnt be so many nursery schools.C.Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies.D.Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal wit(5).Which of the following best expresse
