In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning“. This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother’s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called “operant(动作的) conditioning“. This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.The main purpose of this passage is to ______. teach children how to learn to produce and experience certain emotions give the common reader a general description of two basic kinds of learning give parents some advice on how to modify their children’s emotions through learning discuss with psychologists how positive and negative feelings are produced

Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week. Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. “This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail“, contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist. The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than I month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1,6, and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness. Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker’s personality at child nursing, and kids’ emotional reaction by the equipment.From the first paragraph we know that ______. mother care is the best according to a national study child care outside home is the best in accordance with the study regular child care outside home may play a role as a mother connections between mothers and infants are damaged by outside care

Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is full of examples. In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings—a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic turn of mind. Had they been “economists“, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that would be only a matter of time before steam would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments? Older technologies die away. The quality of life is improved. Overall productivity increases. More raw materials become necessary.

Is there something as truth? For a good many centuries “the search for truth“ has been【B1】the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such【B2】conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made.【B3】, there are many people who reel that we are actually going backward. They【B4】, often contemptuously, that we have accumulated more “knowledge“ than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have【B5】the truth that we once possessed. If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises【B6】the thing is really there to find. You have seen a picture of an animal with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail—and maybe an eagle’s wings for good【B7】There is plenty of evidence that each part of this animal【B8】—but there is no【B9】evidence that the parts ever occur in this combination. It is at least conceivable that the seekers after “truth“ have made a similar mistake and invented an【B10】combination.【B1】 regarded considered pondered referred
