There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as in today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the America, China, Japan and among the Arctic pole, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the ox cart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步). The progress from a rattle (波浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 B. C. to one used by an infant to day, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.
The author uses the example of a rattle to show that ______.
选项
A、in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materials
B、even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C、it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making
D、even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the times
答案
D
解析
见文中最后一句话,举拨浪鼓的例子是为了说明即使最简单的玩具也能反映出它所处的时代的艺术品味。
