9、utcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, 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, sociologist have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and n
10、orms of their work worlds. Members of the working class 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
11、result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations 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 concer
12、ned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.21 The word “explicit“ means_.（A）vague（B） difficult（C） confusing（D）clearly defined22 According to this passage, working-class pa

16、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. 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
17、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 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 handwriti
18、ng(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 write her

22、om? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case.

23、nada 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 though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with
24、education of one kind of anotherjust 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 about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and
25、serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. Thats understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes.

30、sports and so on32 Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains.

31、lots of Christinas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London.

32、e underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me.
