The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be.The
36
family in colonial(殖民时期的)North America was mainly concerned with survival and
37
that,its own economic prosperity.Thus,children were
38
in terms of their producitivity(生产能力),and they played the role of producer quite early.
39
they fulfilled this role,their position in the family was one of subordination(附属).
With the
40
of the society,the position of children in the family and in the society became more important.In the complex and technological society
41
the United States has become,each
42
must fulfill a number of personal and occupational
43
and be in contact with many other members.
44
,viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are
45
more as people in their own right than as those of subordination.This acceptance of children as
46
participants in the family is reflected in various laws
47
the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.
This new
48
of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also
49
an increasing interest in child-raising techniques.People today spend much time
50
the proper way to
51
children.
Nowadays,the socialization of the child in the United States is a
52
transaction(事务)between parent and child
53
a one-way,parent-to-child training
54
.As a consequence,socializing children and
55
with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure,satisfaction,and problems.

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no
36
for stillness.
And when we are
37
to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often
38
something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re
39
.
This comes at a
40
: we lose that time for
41
, for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And
42
yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get
43
done.
Take a moment to think about
44
you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering
45
checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always
46
through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your
47
? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be
48
. Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.
49
be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d
50
it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more
51
.
Then be that vision.
It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.
52
you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too
53
. slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of
54
for it.

for the job. In other words, they all felt that they (47)

caregivers to find out why they took (49)
the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had (50)
to help their relative. Some (51)
that helping others make them feel more useful and full. Others hoped that by helping (52)
now, they would (53)
