About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next tableI couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversationAt one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And the boy, who could not have been more than seven or eight years old, replied, “Frankly, I’ve been a little depressed lately

       This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changingAs far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school

       The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent yearsChildren don’t seem childlike anymoreChildren speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to

       Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is differentChildhood as it once was no longer exists, why?

       Human development is based not only on innate(天生) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledgeMovement from one social rote(生搬硬套) to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new statusChildren have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders

       In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示) machine has been brought in 98 percent of American homesIt is called televisionTelevision passes information to all viewers alike, indiscriminately (不加区分地).Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures

       Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have accessReading and writing involve a complex code of symbol that must be memorized and practicesChildren must read simple books before they can read complex materials

1Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world______________

       Athrough contact with society

       Bnaturally and by biological instinct (本能)

       Cgradually and under guidance

       Dthrough exposure to social information

2The phenomenon that today’s children seem adult like is due to ____________

       Athe widespread influence of television

       Bthe poor arrangement of teaching content

       Cthe fast pace of human intellectual development

       Dthe constantly rising standard of living

3Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?

       AIt enables children to gain more social information

       BIt develops children’s interest in reading and writing

       CIt helps children to memorize and practice more

       DIt can control what children are to learn

4What does the author think of the change in today’s children?

       AHe feels amused by their premature (早熟) behavior

       BHe thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note

       CHe considers it a positive development

       DHe seems to be upset about it
