Early or Later Day Care
The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintainsthat separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment"period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and predispose toemotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion fromBowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the ageof three because of the parental separation it entails, and many people dobelieve this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly, anthropologists point out that theinsulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societiesdoes not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribalsocieties, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not reartheir infant alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day carewould not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children hadproblems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carriedout, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightlypositive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be usedto measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibilitythat early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care mightlead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only beexplored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimesfind the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three arelikely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age ofthree or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nurseryeasy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child careat this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience andavailable evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.

Old Man Myths and Realities
1 When does a middle-aged man become an old man?Officially,of course,it's when we reach retirement age. But,as weall know,this is a fairly blunt (生硬的)method of decision making. As life expectancy(预期寿命)increases,retirement planning needs to bechanged. This is because being an old man today is very different from what itwas a generation or so ago.
2 Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. Thesedays people are talking about the young-old,that isages 70-75,and those over 75 as the old-old. Theyoung-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links withfriends and family. The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health andsocial isolation.
3 Although men are living longer,there are still more old women than old men. This fact alone shouldarouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why thisis the case or about the experiences of the old man. Sure,we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety,financial problems,loneliness,etc.but that's really about all we know.
4 It is usually believed that the old man oftencomplains about their health. In fact,most rate theirhealth as good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronicillness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by theirhealth behavior when they were younger.
1. Paragraph 1______.
2. Paragraph 2______.
3. Paragraph 3______.

Kicking the Habit
What is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it, and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.
Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of out life, and becomes “programmed” into our brain.
A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change out habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.
A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.
The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change out ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.
The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. We can only break bad habits if others tell us to do.
