16、med between one who is supposed to know (and therefore not capable of being wrong) and another, usually younger person, who is supposed not to know. However, teaching need not be the province of a special group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guid

17、ing and assisting than forcing information into a supposedly (想象上，按照推测 ) empty head. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. You do not have to get certified to convey what you know to someone else or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 33 There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown.

24、to do. In the ancient world, as is 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 This is true because boys a

What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,

26、 mechanics, and technology. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的 ) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared.
