23、 girls with another .In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play , to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world . What is remarkable about the history of toys is not
24、 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 ,mechanics, and technology . It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present t
25、hat is amazing .In Egypt ,America ,China ,Japan and among the Arctic (北极的 )people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals a
26、nd vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use .The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拔浪鼓 ) used by a

33、 :life isnt fair. Its a disappointment, but its absolutely true .One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others ,thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be .Its not and it wont be . One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从 )to the fact
34、that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have .
