The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected by

《综合英语（III）》期末试卷（A卷）试题卷 第 5 页 共 10 页

different cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didn’t survive their physically hazardous existence to achieve maturity. In Western civilization within the last few hundred years, there have been many changes in attitude toward the young. In agricultural Europe , and later with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the children of the poor worked long hours for little or no pay, and there was no public concern for their safety or welfare. Punishment could be brutal and severe, and sometimes religious passions were expressed violently with a view toward saving the child's soul.

By the eighteenth century the harsh, deterministic, doctrinaire methods began to show some change. Society slowly accorded children a role of more importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws were passed for their protection.

In the past few decades parents have become more attentive to the needs of their children. Better health care is available and education is no longer reserved for a limited few. With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and too few competent scholars. Some say the pendulum in child rearing has swung so far toward permissiveness that many children are growing up alienated from society and with no respect for law or parental authority.

The tendency today is for teachers and parents to emphasize individual responsibility and to stress that educational goals for students should be tailored to their chosen vocations rather than provide a generalized higher education.

What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.

We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.

61. What we need in life is divided into _________ according to this article.

A. the basic necessities and luxury;

B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses;

C. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, D. the basic necessities and reliable income reliable income and future expense;

62. A person who gets the basic necessities must _______ according to the writer.

63. We all enjoy ____.

A. have a reliable income;

C. finish his work ahead the time; A. having only reliable income.

B. learn how to please his manager; D. get a good education

64. With time going on,

B. having reliable income and extra income.

C. having nothing more than food and D. having nothing more than reliable income. clothing.

A. a luxury may change into a need which B. the basic needs are getting smaller and most people want to get.; smaller.; C. a luxury and the basic needs can be D. the basic needs can be changed into a exchanged.; luxury. B. can say the television must be in the basic A. can say the television is a need in the necessities.; same sense as food and clothing and shelter.;

C. cannot say the television is in the basic D. can say every family must have one. necessities.;
