3、show it. I remember I used to have my hair cut every Friday. My father and I would go together. I had the shortest hair in the school.

5、nd put them away, and do this and do that. She goes on for hours about "Cleanliness is next to godliness." My father isnt like that at all. He lets me do what I want. I think hes learned not to pay attention. 4. I have very fond memories of my childhood. To me it represented security. We used to

6、do a lot together as a family. I remember walks, and picnics, and going for rides on a Sunday afternoon. Every Friday, when my father came home from work, he had a treat for each of us. My mother used to say he was spoiling us, but why not? It didnt do us any harm. Part III Family A. The Family

9、ated III Factors influencing family structure A. Economic conditions e.g. No aid from society or state -- extended family B. Industrialization and urbanization e.g. Creation of many specialized jobs -- nuclear family C. Inheritance customs e.g. 1. Property inherited by eldest son 2. Property

10、 inherited by all of sons Tapescript: Throughout history the basic unit of almost every human society has been the family. The members of the family live together under the same roof, they share the economic burdens of life as well as its affectionate joys, and it is the family which has primary r

11、esponsibility for the important task of raising children to adulthood. The family is not a uniform concept in all societies. In many places it is an extended group which includes uncles, aunts, cousins and in-laws. The family head usually has considerable influence in arranging marriages, selecting

12、 careers and determining all important moves and purchases by any member of the family. Particularly in conditions where society or the state does not give aid and where consequently the responsibilities of the family are greater, this larger group provides better protection in times of economic or

13、other emergency. In many other societies, including most industrialized ones, the "nuclear family" is the basic social unit. This term refers to a husband and wife united through marriage and their dependent children, whether natural or adopted. Industrialization and urbanization create many specia

14、lized jobs which tend to scatter family members among different employers and thus to separate residences as soon as they become wage earners. The small family, which has only one -- or if the wife works also, two -employed members, is better able to adapt to rapid change and to move when the job mo

15、ves. The nuclear family is almost universal and the nuclear group of father, mother and their children is recognized even when it is part of an extended family. There are cases, however, which strain the definition. Polygamy, for example, brings several wives and their children into the picture. Bu

16、t polygamous households are not common in any society. More difficult to explain are the cases of divided residence. Among the Ashanti people of Africa, where the wife and husband do not reside together, the child gets training and affection from the mothers brother and learns that his mothers husba

17、nd is "not his family." An even stranger situation existed with the Nayar of India before being changed by outside influence. There the household consisted of brothers and sisters and the sisters children. The sisters were not married and the brothers simply took care of whatever children their sist

18、ers had. Inheritance customs also have an influence on the structure of the family. In England the farm was passed on to the eldest son in order to keep the family land intact. Younger sons had to go out and start a new farm or join the army or move to town and take up a trade. They provided a larg

19、e part of the labor supply during Englands industrialization process. In many areas of the European continent all of the sons shared equally in the inheritance and more extended households were common. Although the exact form varies from place to place and time to time, we can say that the family i

20、s the original and the most natural social group. The ties we develop by long intimate association with the small group of persons who are biologically related to us cannot be matched in any of the forms of communal living which are tried every now and then. Unit 2 Part I Warming up A. Tape

According to some research, how important is a mothers role? more important in some regards than we had thought / bonding process / lasts longer 3. What happens to children if they are separated too early from their parents? often go into

37、 shock 4. Why do people need concrete support of community? parents not close by / brothers and sisters in another state or country 5. Does Beth think its necessary for a mother to stay home full time to be together with her children? important but not necessary / if not inclined 6. What is the w

38、onderful trait that some working mothers have? a. the ability to be attentive to multiple demands b. the ability to think about more than one thing at a time Tapescript: B -- Beth I -- Irene B. Its a big challenge for mothers today, because oftentimes mothers feel like its an either / or propos

39、ition that they have to work or have a child. And the reality is more and more women are choosing to do both, and also not be superwomen, so its a tricky.., its a tricky line to balance. But I do have a quote that says, "To choose to have a child is to choose forever to have your heart walk outside

40、of your body," which means, just as weve been talking about, that you are constantly attached to your child, no matter how old they get, but you will learn to walk those lines. And you will learn to create balance and harmony in your life, and youll realize that not everything you do is going to sen

41、d your child to a therapist. And thats wonderful. I. Yes, yes. Ive just always felt that if you loved them hard enough, and that you had ... your heart kind of in the right place, which obviously is outside your own body, that there was very little that ... that you could do wrong. I mean you ...

42、B. Yes. I think thats true. I think if you build a solid foundation with your child, especially in the early years, and... I. How early are we talking "early years"? I mean, by what point is the childs personality formed already? B. Well, you know theres a lot of information on that that definitel

43、y is conflicting. But there are new studies coming out that are just fascinating about how important, extremely important it is for a child to be with his / her mother until theyre close to four years old. Now, that doesnt mean consistently. Im not advocating that a mother stay home full time if she

44、s not so inclined. But theres definite research thats coming out saying that, yknow, a mothers role is more important in some regards than we had thought, and that the bonding process lasts quite a bit longer. In fact, children go into shock oftentimes if they are separated too early. And thats why

45、I think a lot of us are fighting for parental leave and family leave, that allows both mother and father to have time with their children hopefully within the first two years, not just the first few months. People need concrete support, and especially nowadays, I did write another meditation about

46、people needing the support of community because nowadays we oftentimes dont have our parents close by, or brothers and sisters live in another state or even in another country. And so especially when you come home for the first few months or the first few years, you may feel extremely isolated if yo

47、u cant hook up with a co-op, a babysitting co-op, or a mothers group ... And this is just a wonderful way to remind mothers that we have what Mary Catherine Bateson calls peripheral vision: the ability to be attentive to multiple demands and to think about more than one thing at a time. And I think

48、thats a very valuable trait that mothers do have. And sometimes we think of ourselves as being scattered and airheads because of it, and thats been oftentimes how weve been portrayed, but this is a wonderful, wonderful trait that mothers develop especially in the first few years. I: Well, we have e

49、yes in the backs of our heads, right? B. Exactly. I. But we are also able to keep lots of balloons in the air, which means that what we do is, you get up in the morning and you say, "I need to do this, this, this, this, and I need to go to work, and whats for dinner besides.” B. Exactly. I, You

50、get it all in order before you leave the house in the morning. B. Right, and you can take your needs into account as well as the needs of many other individuals, which is extremely important in this day and age. I mean we no longer can afford ecologically to have a one-track mind. We can no longer

51、afford it in the family, in the work place, and I think thats something that women very much have to offer. I. I think that the "me" generation is over. Unit 3 Part I Warming up A Job Key words Speaker 1 Psychologist listening / talk / problems / patients / progress / turn life around

52、 Speaker 2 Camp counselor kids / problems / win trust / open up /develop confidence & self-worth / summer Speaker 3 Firefighter burning / smoke / get people out / dangerous Tapescript: 1. Psychologist Maybe the biggest challenge for me is listening to people talk about all their problems. A

53、t the end of the day, Im usually pretty worn out. At times, it can be depressing as well. On the other hand, I do see patients making real progress. Its great to see someone really turn their life around and get on top of a problem that they thought they never could deal with. 2. Camp counselor As

54、 a camp counselor, its difficult to find a way to get through to kids with problems and win their trust. Sometimes kids are very suspicious and find it hard to trust an adult -- even a young adult. So getting them to open up is the hardest part. Once youve done that, they almost become different peo

55、ple. One of the things I find most rewarding is seeing kids develop confidence and a sense of self-worth. Its especially great to see that happen in a kid who started out the summer with low self-esteem. 3. Firefighter It sounds pretty obvious, but in my job, the biggest challenge is going into a

56、burning building thats full of smoke when you can barely see a few inches in front of you.

Once you do get someone out safely, then you feel really great and you forget about how dangerous t

62、ng women 1. Working females aged 16 and over -- 58% 2. Mothers with children under 18 -- 67% III. Work ethic A. Definition of strong work ethic B. Most Americans -- with a strong work ethic C. Reason for not working harder -- not feeling they will benefit from the work Tapescript. The topic

63、of work in the United States is an interesting one because the statistics do not always agree with popular general impressions about American workers and the American economy. I will try to reconcile these impressions with what we know from some recent statistics. To get you warmed up, let me give y

64、ou a few questions to think about before I start the first point of our lecture today: Do you think most Americans work in factories that produce goods for domestic use and exportation? Do you think most American women are housewives, or do most of them work outside the home? Do you think people in

65、the United States work hard? If time permits, Ill deal with each of these points in todays lecture. So, then, where do most people in the United States work? If you thought in the manufacturing sector, in other words in factories, you were wrong. It is true that the United States is, and is seen as

66、, a strong industrial power, but the statistics reveal that another branch of the economy is even stronger than manufacturing. Instead of dealing with the large figures required when discussing a total U.S. workforce of 125 million people, lets take a look at 100 hypothetical workers and See where theyre employed. Of those 100 workers, 16 work in manufacturi
