Bringing up children is a hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children, If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long- term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated developmental psychology for almost half a century.
Ms. Harris’s attack on the developmentalists’ "nature" argument looks likely to reinforce doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, reared in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children reared in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, reared in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins reared in different homes?
Difficult as it is to track the precise effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer (同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard- working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.
Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ditched completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may initially choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age, and that people’s child bearing habits may be formed partly by what their parents did. So the balance of influences is probably complicated, as most parents already suspected without being able to demonstrate it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook. [br] According to Para 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、It is harder to track the precise effects of parental upbringing than the exact influence of the peer group in children.
B、Immigrant children tend to discard the way their parents speak quickly when they go to school.
C、It has been proved that peers have more impact on children’s qualities such as to be honest or hard-working or generous.
D、It is easier for children to acquire a language at school than at home.
答案
B
解析
可采取逐一排除的办法。选项A不对,因为第三段第一句话指出后者更难。选项C不对,第三段最后一句说明,尽管要证明父母对孩子的诚实、努力和大度等品质没有多大影响很容易,但是,要证明同龄人对孩子个性的影响更大却很难。选项D与本文主题关系不大。所以选B。
