Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any had behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Hams 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 companions. Ms Harris takes to bits the assumption which has dominated developmental psychology for almost half a century.
Ms Harris’s attack on the developmentalists’"nurture" 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 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 than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxedly, 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, he keen to appear like their contemporaries. 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 people% child-rearing 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.
The author believes that ________.
选项
A、peers have little impact on children’s development
B、Ms Harris’s work strengthens the developmentalists’views
C、evidence Should be provided to prove peer influence on child development
D、Ms Harris’s work had little effect on the developmentalists’"nurture" argument
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。第三段和第四段基本上是作者在阐述观点。那么可以用排除法来解此题。选项 A说,孩子的同龄人对他们的成长几乎没有影响,而作者在第三段第一句只是提到来自同龄人的影响may be harder to measure,因此排除A。第二段第一句是说Ms Harris’s work似乎加深了已经存在的疑惑,而不是the developmentalists’ views,因此排除D。第三段指出,提供证据来证明同龄人对孩子成长有影响是非常困难的,但如果可以提供出来,Ms Harris的结论就更令人信服了,因此选项C符合作者的观点。第二段第一句说明Ms Harris’s work对the developmentalists’“nurture” argument还是有影响的,虽然这种影响是负面的,因此排除 D。
