7、child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning

8、takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning.“ This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mothers face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns tha

Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called “operant( 动作的 )conditioning.“ This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishme

10、nts. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother.

15、egular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study.

24、 and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is full of examples.In 1870

25、, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades.
