As with other personality components, the sense of trust is not something that develops independent of other manifestations of growth.
24、It is not that infants learn how to use their bodies for purposeful movement, learn to recognize people and objects around them, and also develop a sense of trust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust“ is a shortcut expression intended to convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs satisfying
25、experiences at this early age. Studies of mentally ill individuals and observations of infants who have been grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personality. Psychiatrists find again and again that the most serious illnesses occur
26、in patients who have been sorely neglected or abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy. Observations of infants brought up in emotionally unfavorable institutions or moved to hospitals with inadequate facilities for psychological care support these findings. A recent report says that “Infants
27、 under 5 months of age who have been in an institution for some time present a well-defined picture. The outstanding features are listlessness, relative immobility, quietness, poor sleep, an appearance of unhappiness, etc.“ Another investigation of children separated from their mothers at 6 to 12 mo
28、nths and not provided with an adequate substitute comes to much the same conclusion. Most significant for our present point, these reactions are most likely to occur in children who, up to the time of separation at 6 to 9 months of age, had a happy relation with their mothers, while those whose rela
29、tions were unhappy are relatively unaffected. It is at about this age that the struggle between trusting and mistrusting the world comes to a climax, for it is then that children first perceive clearly that they and their environment are things apart. That at this point formerly happy infants should
30、 react so badly to separation suggests, indeed, that they had a faith that now has been shattered. In most primitive societies and in some sections of our own society, the attention accorded infants is more in line with natural processes. Throughout infancy the baby is surrounded by people who are r
31、eady to feed it, fondle it, and otherwise comfort it at a moments notice. Moreover, these ministrations are given spontaneously and wholeheartedly, and without that element of nervous concern that may characterize the efforts of young mothers made self-conscious and insecure by our scientific age. W
32、e must not exaggerate, however. Most infants in our society too find smiles and comfort. As their own bodies come to be more dependable, there is added to the pleasures of increasing sensory response and motor control the pleasure of the mothers encouragement. Then, too, psychologists tell us that m
33、others create a sense of trust in their children not by the particular techniques they employ but by the sensitiveness with which they respond to the childrens needs and by their overall attitude. 50 The sense of trust in an infant is under development when _. （ A） the infant experiences some satisf
34、action （ B） adults trust is adequate （ C） the infant learns how to move （ D） the infant is surrounded by people he can recognize 51 The author raises evidence of mental illness and other disorders in children _. （ A） to introduce a discussion of the effect of institutions on children （ B） to show th
35、e effect on children of an unhappy relation with their mothers during infancy （ C） to warn parents of the dangers of neglecting and abusing their children （ D） to support the point that trust is an early formed and important element of a healthy personality 52 The climax in the development of a sens
36、e of trust occurs _. （ A） before maternal affection is provided （ B） when a child perceives that he or she is separate from the environment （ C） when a child successfully controls his or her muscular coordination （ D） as a result of maternal separation 53 A possible reason that a child having an unh
37、appy relation with his/her mother will not be affected by maternal separation at 6 to 9 months is that _. （ A） the struggle between trusting and mistrusting has reached a climax （ B） the child sees himself/herself as being separate from the environment （ C） the childs sense of trust is destroyed （ D
38、） no sense of trust has ever developed 54 According to this passage, the most important factor in developing a sense of trust is _. （ A） the type of techniques used by the mother （ B） the sensitivity of the child （ C） maternal love （ D） the combined effect of natural feeling and cultural attitudes 5
39、4 The cost of staging the year 2000 Olympics in Sydney is estimated to be a staggering $960 million, but the city is preparing to reap the financial benefits that ensue from holding such an international event by emulating the commercial success of Los Angeles, the only city yet to have made a demon
40、strable profit from the Games in 1984. At precisely 4:20 a.m. on Friday the 24th of September 1993, it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world, and Australians everywhere, not only Sydneysiders, were justifiably proud of the result. But, if Sydney had lost t
41、he bid, would the taxpayers of NSW and of Australia have approved of governments spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise? There may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in $1 million below the revised budget and $5 million below the original budget of $29 mil
42、lion formulated in mid-1991. How ever, the final cost was the considerable sum of $ 24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to
43、$10 million, contributing some $ 2 million. The Federal Governments grant of $ 5 million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every Australian taxpayer. Prior to the announcement of the winning city, there was considerable debate about the wisdom of taking financial risks of this ki
44、nd at a time of economic recession. Others argued that 70 percent of the facilities were already in place, and all were on government-owned and, removing some potential areas of conflict which troubled previous Olympic bidders. The former NSW Premier, Mr. Nick Greiner, went on record as saying that
45、the advantage of having the Games. “is not that you are going to have $ 7.4 billion in extra gross domestic product over the next 14 years. I think the real point of the Games is the psychological change, the catalyst of confidence, apart from the other more obvious reasons, such as the building of
46、sporting facilities, tourism, and things of that nature. “ However, the dubiousness of the benefits that Melbourne, an unsuccessful bidder for the 1988 Olympic Games, received at a time when the State of Victoria was still in economic turmoil meant many corporate bodies were unenthusiastic. There is
47、 no doubt that Sydneys seductive physical charms caused the worlds media to compare the city favorably to its rivals Beijing, Berlin, Manchester, and Istanbul. Mr. Godfrey Santer, the Australian Tourist Commissions Manager of Corporate Planning Services, stated that soon after the bid was made, inte
48、nse media locus was already having a beneficial effect on in-bound tourism. Developers and those responsible for community development projects eagerly pointed to the improvements taking place to the existing infrastructure of the city, the creation of employment, and especially the building of spor
49、ting facilities, all of which meet the needs of the community and help to attract more tourists. At Homebush Bay $ 300 million was spent providing the twin athletic arenas and the “high-tech“ Aquatic Centre. However, perhaps the most impressive legacy was the new attitude shown towards both industrial relations and environmental problems. The high-profile nature of the bid; and the perception that it must proceed smoothly Created a unique attitude of co-operat
