If you find it hard to like James Inhofe—the Senator from Oklahoma who famously called climate change the "greatest hoax perpetrated on me American people"—remember this: He was once five. That matters, because Inhofe wasn’t merely a lot younger back men, he was a lot wiser—at least where the environment is concerned. That, according to a study from the Teacher Training College in Bilbao Spain, is true not just of me gentleman from Oklahoma, but all of us.
Educators and people who work with small children know mat they’re anarchists(无政府主义者)by nature, but children also live in a world full of rules. Some of those rules are taught—raise your hand in class, don’t interrupt other people: some seem more innate—don’t hit other children, don’t hurt animals. As reported in a story, psychologists like to posit me difference between telling a kindergartener mat the teacher has suspended me rule against eating snacks in class and telling the same child mat the teacher has suspended me no-hitting rule. In the first case, the child will grab the nearest cookie. In the second, the child will typically hesitate and refuse to hit, and may even say the teacher is wrong.
To test where living tilings fall on this do-no-harm spectrum, Training College researcher Jose Domingo Villaroel assembled a sample group of 118 boys and girls, ages 4 to 7, from local public schools. He started with the basics, showing the kids two sets of four pictures each—a dog, a tree, a bird and a flower: and the sun, clouds, a car and a motorcycle—and asked which of them was alive and which not. As it turned out, the youngest kids particularly would often exclude the tree from the living things category but include the car or the motorcycle.
Villaroel next asked them to respond to two situations. In the first they were presented with a set of social rules(rules against nose-picking and eating sloppily)and a set of interpersonal rules(don’t take other kids’ toys or hurt omer kids). In me second they were presented the same social rules and a set of environmental rules(don’t step on flowers, don’t carve your name into a tree with a knife). In both cases they were asked to pick which rules were the worse ones to break. In both cases the social rules were abandoned first.
It was perhaps unsurprising mat kids understand intuitively why harming other children is a worse offense than showing bad manners. Even at an early age children have a growing sense of empathy, and they understand what it would feel like to be hit themselves or have a toy taken away. But children aren’t flowers or trees, and yet they showed mem equal concern—and mat included the kids who didn’t realize that plant life is life at all.
The study is hardly airtight. It’s possible that the children did not give a hoot about the flowers and were just parroting rules they’d been taught or had observed. But they were taught the good-manners rule too. Villaroel wasn’t concerned with whether they understood right and wrong as absolutes, but rather in degrees—which thing was more right or more wrong. And on that metric, nature scored a big win.
There’s a whole lot of developmental ground covered between the time you’re a five-year-old pre-schooler and a 55-year-old policymaker, and our better angels don’t always survive the trip. But it’s encouraging to know we start out with them—and it’s worth trying to hang onto them as long as we can.
Which of the following is TRUE about the research conducted by Jose Domingo Villaroel?
选项
A、In the first set of experiments, the kids seemed to regard self-motion as the defining quality.
B、Jose Domingo Villaroel has got the desirable outcome from his experiments.
C、In the second set of experiments, the kids would generally hesitate before breaking social rules.
D、His research result is confirmed by the similar experiments conducted in other countries.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据第三、四段,西班牙某教师培训学院的荷塞·维拉洛做了一项研究,从当地小学召集了代表性的118位4到7岁的孩子,先给他们展示两组照片,其后又让他们面对两种情境作出反应。根据第三段,在第一个试验中,孩子们将狗、汽车、摩托车列入有生命物体的类别,而排除了树,可推知他们将可移动性作为该项的评价标准,故选[A]。
