The ordinary family in colonial North America was primarily concerned with simple physical survival and beyond that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were valued in terms of their productivity, and they assumed the role of producer quite early. Until they fulfilled this role, their position in the structure of the family was one of subordination (次要), and their psychological needs and capacities received little consideration.
As the society became more complicated, the status of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex, technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in constant contact with a great many other members. Consequently, viewing children as potentially acceptable and necessarily multifaceted members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own fight than as utilitarian organisms. This acceptance of children as equal participants in the contemporary family is reflected in the variety of statutes protecting the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs devoted especially to their well-being.
This new view of children and the increasing contact between the members of society has also resulted in a surge(激增) of interest in child-rearing techniques. People today spend a considerable portion of their time consulting the proper way to bring up children. It is now possible to affect the details of the socialization of another person’s child by spreading the gospel (信条) of current and fashionable theories and methods of child rearing.
The socialization of the contemporary child in the United States is a two-way communication between parent and child rather than a one-way, parent-to-child training program. As a consequence, socializing children and living with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.
Which of the following causes the changes in the role of the child in the United States?
选项
A、The growing number of single parent families.
B、The growing complexity of the child’s psychological needs.
C、An increase in technology.
D、A decrease in the child’s intellectual capacities.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。文章第二段首句提到"As the society... became more important”(随着社会变得日益复杂,孩子们在家庭和社会中的地位也变得愈发重要),紧接着作者又提到“In the complex,technological society...”(在这个复杂的技术社会当中…)。由此可见,引起美国孩子地位变化的原因足科技进步,故C项正确。
