At the same tim
14、e, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class
15、are closely supervised and are expected to follow 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. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motiv
16、ations and more with their childrens outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expressi
17、on, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.（分数：12.00）(1).The word “explicit“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.vagueB.difficultC.confusingD.clearly defined(2).According to this passage, working-class parents are more likely than middle-class

During her month-long stay in Jerusalem, she often went to a caf6 called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, of the whomAlexused to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma we
21、nt in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read.

22、get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma bad 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 handwrit
23、ing (笔迹). It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange (交换) addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack (背包) and asked Emma to writ

27、his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high-34.8%, and the
28、 funloving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information ( news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan t
29、hough, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another-just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U. K. , the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They dont go in for entertainment either. Only
30、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 anything else.
