19、e accidental death of their two year old was told that since the child bad made no real economic contribution to the family, there was no liability for damages. In contrast, less than a century later, in 1979, the parents of a three year old sued in New York for accidental-death damages and won an a

20、ward of $750,000.The transformation in social values implicit in juxtaposing these two incidents is the subject of Viviana Zelizers excellent book, Pricing the Priceless Child. During the nineteenth century, she argues, the concept of the “useful“ child who contributed to the family economy gave way

21、 gradually to the present-day notion of the “useless“ child who, though producing no income for, and indeed extremely costly to, its parents, is yet considered emotionally “priceless.“ Well established among segments of the middle and upper classes by the mid- 1800s. this new view of childhood sprea

22、d throughout society in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries as reformers introduced child-labor regulations and compulsory education laws predicated in part on the assumption that a childs emotional value made child labor taboo.FoHr Zelizer the origins of this transformation were many

23、and complex. The gradual erosion of childrens productive value in a maturing industrial economy, the decline in birth and death rates, especially in child mortality, and the development of the companionate family (a family in which members were united by explicit bonds of love rather than duty) were

24、 all factors critical in changing the assessment of childrens worth. Yet “expulsion of children from the cash nexus, .although clearly shaped by profound changes in the economic, occupational, and family structures,“ Zelizer maintains, “was also part of a cultural process of sacralization“ of childr

25、ens lives.“ Protecting children from the crass business world became enormously important for late-nineteenth-century middle-class Americans, she suggests; this sacralization was a way of resisting what they perceived as the relentless corruption of human values by the marketplace.In stressing the c

26、ultural determinants of a childs worth, Zelizer takes issue with practitioners of the new “sociological economics,“ who have analyzed such traditionally sociological topics as crime, marriage, education, and health solely in terms of their economic determinants. Allowing only a small role for cultur

27、al forces in the form of individual “preferences,“ these sociologists tend to view all human behavior as directed primarily by the principle of maximizing economic gain. Zelizer is highly critical of this approach, and emphasizes instead the opposite phenomenon: the power of social values to transfo

28、rm price. As children became more valuable in emotional terms, she argues, their “exchange“ or “surrender“ value on the market, that is, the conversion of their intangible worth into cash terms, became much greater.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards

29、in America during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the_.（分数：1.00）A.earnings of the person at time of deathB.wealth of the party causing the deathC.degree of guilt of the party causing the deathD.amount of suffering endured by the family of the person killed(2).It can be infer

30、red from the passage that in the early 1800s children were generally regarded by their families as individuals who_.（分数：1.00）A.needed enormous amounts of security and affectionB.required constant supervision while workingC.were important to the economic well-being of a familyD.were financial burdens

31、 assumed for the good of society(3).Which of the following alternative explanations of the change in the cash value of children would most likely come from sociological economists?（分数：1.00）A.Parents began to increase their emotional investment in the upbringing of their children.B.Childrens expected

32、 earnings over the course of a lifetime increased greatly.C.Compulsory education laws reduced the supply, and thus raised the costs, of available child labor.D.Changes in the law made available of indemnity for damages in accidental-death cases.(4).Which of the following statements of American famil

33、ies in 19th century can be inferred from the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Family members became more economically dependent on each other.B.The percentage of families involved in industrial work declined dramatically.C.Family members became more emotionally bonded to one another.D.Family members spent an incr

34、easing amount of time working with each other.(5).Zelizer refers to all of the following as important influences in changing the assessment of childrens worth EXCEPT changes in（分数：1.00）A.the nature of industryB.the nature of the familyC.attitudes toward reform movementsD.attitudes toward the marketp

35、lace七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Replying to our Christmas “good guru guide“, Peter Drucker, the grand old man of management theory, speculated that the word “guru“ had become popular only because “charlatan“ was too long a word for most headlines. Few people are easier to ridicule than management gums. I

36、rrepressible self-publicists and slavish fashion-merchants, they make a splendid living out of recycling other peoples ideas (“chaos management“ ), coining euphemisms (“downsizing“ ) and laboring the obvious (“managing by wandering around“ or the customer is king“ ). Their books draw heavily on part

37、icular case studies often out-of-date ones that have nasty knack of collapsing later. And their ideas change quickly. Tom Peters, once a self-confessed sycophant to the corporate behemoth is now an apostle of the small, chaotic, “virtual“ organization.Gums do have their uses, however. Begin with the

38、 circumstantial evidence. In America, where management theories are treated with undue reverence, business is bouncing back. In Germany, where business schools hardly exist and management theory is widely seen as an oxymoron, many companies are in trouble. German business magazines are suddenly brim

39、ming with articles about “downsizing“ and “business process re-engineering“ . In Japan firms are once again turning to business theories from America just as their fathers learnt after the Second World War from American quality control techniques. Coincidence does not prove causation: American firms

40、 were just as much in love with gums when they were doing badly. But the fact that Germans and Japanese are paying attention again does offer some clues. The most important point in favor of management theories is that they are on the side of change. In 1927 a group of psychologists studying product

41、ivity at Western Electrics Hawthorne factory in Illinois found that workers increased their output whenever the level of lighting was changed, up or down. At the very least, theorists can make change easier by identifying problems, acting as scapegoats for managers or simply making people think. A v

42、ested interest in change can lead to faddism. But, taken with a requisite dose of scepticism, it can be fine complacency-shaker.A second argument for gurus relates to knowledge. The best management theorists collect a lot of information about what makes firms successful. This varies from the highly

43、technical, such as how to discount future cash flow, to softer organizational theories. Few would dispute the usefulness of the first. It is in the second area the land of “flat hierarchies and“ multi-functional teams“ that gums have most often stumbled against or contradicted each other. This knowl

44、edge is not obviously providing a strategic recipe for success: there are too many variables in business, and if all competitors used the same recipe it would automatically cease to work. But it does provide something managers want: information about, and understanding of, other companies experience

45、 in trying out tactics thinner management structures, handing power to workers, performance-related pay, or whatever.A good analogy may be with diets. There is no such thing as the “correct“ diet, but it is clear that some foods, in some quantities, arc better for you than others: and it is also lik

46、ely that the main virtue of following a diet is not what you eat but the fact that it forces you to think about it. If management diets come with a lot of hype and some snake-oil, so be it.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following is the most suitable in meaning for the word“ guru“ in the passage?（分数：1.00

47、A.philosopher.B.company boss.C.worker.D.management theorist.(2).The second paragraph seems to suggest that Germans_.（分数：1.00）A.have no business schoolsB.never discuss management theoryC.are beginning to realize the importance of management theoryD.refuse to accept American values(3).The 1927 study
