11、uctedresearches that have fol lowed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, 2 compared with children whose mothers stayed at home. My personal view is that mothers should be all owed to work if they wish. Whether we like it or not, thereare a number of moth

12、ers who just have to work. There are those who have invested such a big part of thei r lives in establishinga career that they cannot afford to see i t lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic necessity . Many mothers are not cut out to be f ull- time parents. After a few months

13、at home wi th a much l oved infan, they feel trapped and isolated. There are a number of opti ons when it comes to choosing chil dcare. These range from child mi nders(照顧者) and nannies(保姆) through to Granny(奶奶) or the kind(好心的) lady across the street. In reality , however,many parents don't have

14、 any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No matter how good the childcare may be,some children are going to protest(抗議) wil dly(激烈 的) if they are lef t. This is a perfectly normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months,but soon after that

15、 they start to get a crush(依戀, 壓爛) on Mum and close family members . Make sure that in the first week you allow plenty of time to help your chi ld settle i n. All children are different. Some are independent, whi le others are more attached to their mothers. Remember that if you want to do the best

16、for your children, it's not the quanti ty(數(shù)量) of time you spend with them，i t's the quality that matters *第七篇 The Difference between Man and Computer 人與電腦的區(qū)別 What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element(n.元素，成分，要素) that our theories don’t yet account for?

17、 The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. I n fact, computers don't even have interests; there is nothi ng in particular(尤其, 特別) that they are trying to fi nd out when they read. If

18、 a computer program_ is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose". Of course, people have several goals that do not make sense to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant gui de in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment(n.娛樂，消遣) goals, or to fin

19、d a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have busi ness lunches. However, these physiologi cal(adj.生理學的,生理的) and social goals give rise to several intellectual(adj.智力的，聰明的) or cogni tive(adj. 認知的，認識上的) goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to(

20、引起, 導致) goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to _ acquire informati on or knowledge, what we are calling learning _ goals. These goals can be held by comput

21、ers too; a computer might_ "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a gui de in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might wel l(很可能) arise out of the "goal" to learn mor

22、e about restaurants. *第九篇 The First Bicycle 第一輛自行車第一輛自行車 The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count(伯爵) de Sivrac delighted onlookers(觀眾) in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celeriferé. It was basically an enlarged

23、version of a chi ldren’s toy which had been in use for many years. Sivrac's "celeriferé" had a wooden frame, made i n the shape of a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end.To ri de it, you sat on a small seat, just l ike a modem bicycle,and pushed hard against the groun

24、d wi th your legs -there were no pedals(踏板，腳蹬子). It was impossible to steer(駕 駛，操縱，控制) a celeriferé and i t had no brakes(閘，剎車),but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races up and down the streets. Minor injuries

25、 were common as riders attempted a fi nal burst(爆 發(fā)，突發(fā)，爆炸) of speed . Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change direction was to pul l up the f ront of the "celerifer é" and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the ai r. "Celeriferés" were not popular for long,however,as the combination of no springs(彈簧), no steering and rough roads(起伏路) made ridi ng them very uncomfortable. Even so,the wooden celeriferé was the origin of the modem bicycle.
