10、portant factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologist have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follo

11、w explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children.

17、book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the cafe, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General

18、 of the United Nations(UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy, but when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting(笔迹). It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian

19、who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange(交换 )addresses, but neither of them had any paper.

24、documentaries and so on)or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times.

25、K. , the figure is 56. 4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They dont go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than
