问题     During the normal development of self, a child is affected by certain influential factors. (1) Infants form an attachment with the mother that must undergo a process of separation and individuation. Object relations psychology examines this relationship, which depends on the ability of the child to separate himself from his object, the mother, and realize that he is a separate individual. (2) .Certainly, affectionate, caring parents are essential as well. As the child begins to develop his sense of self, he must master certain developmental tasks that are part of growing up, such as acquisition of language and toilet training. (3)
    (4) ’ Since an infant’s relationship with his mother is so important, according to many psychologists, what effect does being separated from the biological mother have on the adopted child? (5) But what about a child who is older when he is adopted?
    (6) When he is placed with an adoptive family, he is likely to experience separation anxiety from his foster mother, who can be regarded as symbolically abandoning
him as his own biological mother did.
    (7) Now it seems as though he has to start over; his protesting may give way to despair as he yearns for people who used to be in his life. The adoptive family should offer as much affection and security as possible to reassure the child that he is safe, that they are reliable sources of loving care, and that they will help him through this difficult stage.
    (8) Although he may not mind the actual separation from his mother when he goes to playschool or day care, he may become obsessed about the time when his mother is supposed to pick him up at day care or kindergarten; tardiness may provoke fears about car accidents or death.
    On the other hand, some psychologists believe that a child who is given more affection is sometimes more strongly attached to their parents and therefore more prone to separation anxiety than are some of those who are treated more roughly. (9) On the contrary, the capacity to experience separation anxiety can be regarded as a sign of the healthy personality. (10)
A. A safe, loving environment is another necessary component for the development of a healthy self-concept.
B. For infants adopted at birth, the effect may be minimal, for the infant has often had no opportunity to bond with the biological mother.
C. Since such "dependence" in the well-loved child is outgrown and later provides the basis for a stable independence, it would be a mistake to suppose it to be pathological.
D. One of the most important involves his relationship with his mother.
E. What, then, effect does adoption have on the development of a healthy sense of self?
F. His transition to living in an adoptive home may be difficult as he adjusts to new surroundings and caregivers because, by the age of 18 months, he has already begun to develop a sense of self in relation to others.
G. Despite these actions, sometimes a child may continue to suffer from separation anxiety.
H. Anything that interrupts the development of these important skills may interfere with developing a healthy self-concept.
I. Consider a toddler adopted at the age of 18 months who has lived in the same foster home since birth.
J. An adopted child, then, has at least an average chance of successful individuation, assuming he is adopted by loving parents.
选项
答案J
解析 由于本文主要在讲分离焦虑对被收养儿童的影响，故应以被收养儿童作为结尾，故选J。“如果养父母给予他足够的关爱，那么他发展个性的机会则至少与其他人一样。”
