18、ir child that he or she is adopted. They also want to know if there are special problems for an adopted child. Child and adolescent psychiatrists (精神病学家 ) recommend that the child be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents. Children should be told about their adoption in a way that they can
19、understand. There are two different views on when a child should be told about the adoption. Many experts believe the child should be told at the earliest age possible. This approach provides the child an early opportunity to accept and integrate the concept of being “adopted“. Other experts believe
20、 that telling a child too early may confuse the young child who cant really understand the event. These experts advise waiting until the child is older. In either case, children should learn of their adoption from the adoptive parents. This helps give the message that adoption is good and that the c
21、hild can trust the parents, If the child first learns about the adoption intentionally or accidentally from someone other than parents, the child may feel anger and mistrust towards the parents, and may view the adoption as bad or shameful because it was kept as a secret.

22、to talk about their adoption and parents should encourage this process.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Once a man had a dream, he dreamed of a land of peace and harmony. He dreamed of a place wh
29、ere people were not judged by their skin color. He dreamed of a country where children of different races could play together. He dreamed of a nation where all people were equal. Some people didnt like his dream. They said it would never happen. Some people applauded his dream. They wanted to make i
30、t happen. This noble vision has come true for some. For others, its still just a fantasy. In 1963, this man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , expressed his vision in the famous speech, “I Have a Dream.“ But the dream - rooted in the American Dream - wasnt really new.

31、mmigrants welcomed people desiring freedom and a new start. How ever, the coming together of different races and ethnic groups created some tensions. The early Americans ( except for the native “Indians“ ) were almost all white Europeans. As more immigrants arrived, European groups fit into society
32、easily. Others found it more difficult. Black people were the only “immigrants“ who didnt choose to come to America. For hundreds of years, Africans were taken from their homes to be slaves in the New World. Even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had slaves. The phrase “all men are created equa
33、l“ didnt apply to blacks in their day. The end of the Civil War finally brought freedom to the slaves in 1865, but blacks still had a lower position in society. Many Southern states practiced segregation to “keep blacks in their place“. Blacks and whites went to different schools, ate at different r
