Passage OneSometimes children are kidnapped. Kidnapping is like stealing a child. It is important that kidnappedchildren are found and brought home as soon as possible.The sooner the public knows about a kidnapping the sooner they might be able to help. Some people decided to start a program that would alert the public about kidnappings right away. This program is called Care Alert.The Care Alert program gives television and radio stations important information about a recently kidnapped child. These stations will then tell the public what happened in hopes that someone might be able to help. Anyone that may have seen something about the kidnapping could then call the police.Sometimes one parent of a child kidnaps his or her own child. These kidnappings are not usually used in the Care Alert program. The Care Alert program is only used when a stranger has taken a child.When a child is kidnapped he is in a lot of danger. It is very important to find him as soon as possible. It is hoped that this new Care Alert program will save children's lives.36. What is kidnapping based on the passage? It is ______.A. taking a child away without permissionB. making a child sleeping with a songC. hugging a child with loveD. saving a child from a stranger

Early or Later Day Care The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive “attachment”period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental sepa-ration it entails,and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion. Firstly,anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example,in some tribal societies,such as the Ngoni,the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant a-lone—far from it .Secondly,common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread to-day if parents,care—takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out,and even if they were,the results would be certain to be complicat-ed and controversial.Thirdly,in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care,and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue. But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects.The possi- bility that such care might lead to,say,more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics.Whatever the long-term effects,parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with.Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness.At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy,and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time.The matter,then,is far from clear-cut,though experience and available evi- dence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants. Which of the following is derivable from Bowlby's work?A: Day care would not be so popular if it has noticeable negative effects on a child's personality.B: A child sent to a day care center before the age of three may have emotional problems in later life.C: Day care nurseries have positive effects on a child's development.D: Mothers should not send their children to day care centers before the age of three.

Text 3 Family caregivers provide essential,often unpaid work in the U.S.:they help family members with tasks like bathing and eating,coordinating insurance coverage and managing medications.But what a caregiver looks like in America is changing.Although the typical unpaid family caregiver is a 49-year-old white woman,about 10 million Americans between ages 18 and 34,of all different backgrounds,are now the caregivers for a family member or friend,according to a new report by AARP.One out of four family caregivers in the U.S.is a millennial.And as Baby Boomers age and need more support,this young group is becoming an increasingly important part of the caregiving workforce.More than half of millennial caregivers are now people of color,according to the report,and they are more likely than any other generation to balance caregiving with employment.Nearly three quarters of millennial caregivers are employed,according to the new report,and 53%work full time.They also spend an average of 21 hours per week on caregiving,or the equivalent of a part time job.More than one in four millennials spends over 20 hours each week providing care,and roughly one in five provides care for at least 40 hours each week."Many of these millennials are not just working and providing this care,but are trying to figure out,ihow do I balance all of this?"'says Jean Accius,an expert on long-term care services and supports at the AARP's public policy institute,which provides guides for different communities of caregivers."At this time in their life,a typical milleruual may be thinking about going on vacation,hanging out with friends and potentially getting married,but these millennials are doing things like wound care and bathing."The report finds that Latino millennials often face increased pressure,as they work more hours each week on average and spend more time providing care than young adults of other backgrounds.Some of this has to do with the fact that Hispanuc Americans are more likely to live in multi-generational households,Accius says.Tasks like navigating govemment health systems or coordinating care between multiple providers can also be particularly challenging for families that have members whose first language is not English.Another common source of stress is the impact that caregiving responsibilities can have on a person's career.54%of millennial caregivers say that caregiving has impacted their job in significant ways,according to the report.Yet millennials are much less likely to tell their supervisors or colleagues at work about their caregiving responsibilities,meaning they are often navigating alone.One sign of progress is that millennial men are nearly as likely to provide care as women,according to the report."The way that millennials think about gendered work or gendered care roles is changing,"says Whiting."The U.S.is already facing a shortage of caregivers,and the increasing gender and racial diversity of millennial caregivers will be necessary to support all those who need help in the future:'she says."We see,especially among millennials,that everybody bears some responsibility,and we need to care for each other."

问答题Passage 2Parenting and Responsibility Section A There are still significant gaps between women and men in terms of their involvement in family life, the tasks they perform and the responsibilities they take. Yet, at least in developed Western countries, both women and men express a desire for greater equality in family life. It is evident that in terms of attitudes and beliefs, the problem cannot simply be thought of in terms of women wanting men to share more equally and men being reluctant to do so. The challenge now is to develop policies and practices based on a presumption of shared responsibility between men and women, and a presumption that there are potential benefits for men and women, as well as for families and the community, if there is greater gender equality in the responsibilities and pleasures of family life. These are becoming key concerns of researchers, policy makers, community workers and, more importantly, family members themselves. Section B Despite the significant increase in the number of women with dependent children who are in the paid workforce, Australian research studies over the last 15 years are consistent in showing that divisions of labor for family work are very rigid indeed (Watson 1991). In terms of time, women perform approximately 90 per cent of child care tasks and 70 percent of all family work, and only 14 per cent of fathers are highly participant in terms of time spent on family work (Russell 1983). Demo and Acock (1993), in a recent US study, also found that women continue to perform a constant and major proportion of household labor (68per cent to 95 per cent) across all family types (first marriage, divorced, step-family or never married), regardless of whether they are employed or non-employed in paid work. Section C Divisions of labor for family work are particularly problematic in families in which both parents are employed outside the home (dual-worker families). Employed mothers adjust their jobs and personal lives to accommodate family commitments more than employed fathers do. Mothers are less likely to work overtime and are more likely to take time off work to attend to children’s needs (Vanden Heuvel 1993). Mothers spend less time on personal leisure activities than their partners, a factor that often leads to resentment (Demo and Acock 1993). Section D The parental role is central to the stress-related anxiety reported by employed mothers, and a major contributor to such stress is their taking a greater role in child care (Vanden Heuvel 1993). Edgar and Glezer (1992) found that close to 90 per cent of both husbands and wives agreed that the man should share equally in child care, yet 55 per cent of husbands and wives claimed that the men actually did this. (These claims are despite the findings mentioned earlier that point to a much lower participation rate by fathers.) A mother’s wanting her partner to do more housework and child care is a better predictor of poor family adjustment than the actual time spent by fathers in these tasks (Demo and Acock 1993). It is this desire, together with its lack of fulfillment in most families that bring about stress in the female parent. Section E Family therapists and social work researchers are increasingly defining family problems in terms of a lack of involvement and support from fathers and are concerned with difficulties involved in having fathers take responsibility for the solution of family and child behavior problems (Edgar and Glezer 1986). Yet, a father accepting responsibility for behavior problems is linked with positive outcomes. Section F Research studies lend strong support to the argument that there are benefits for families considering a change to a fairer or more equitable division of the pleasures and pains of family life. Greater equality in the performance of family work is associated with lower levels of family stress and higher self-esteem, better health, and higher marital satisfaction for mothers. There is also higher marital satisfaction for fathers, especially when they take more responsibility for the needs of their children-fathers are happier when they are more involved (Russell 1984).List of Headings i Compromise between two extreme styles ii An opposite standpoint from a new angle iii Factors that influence the change of gender role iv Stereotyped activities in a family v Conventional family pattern vi Primary child care-giver vii Three different types of household labor division viii Effects of personality on division adoption ix An even distribution of domestic tasks x Definition of domestic division of labor Example Answer Paragraph A. x 1.
