Why would people destroy their own community? Popular explanations of riots focus on the character of the rio
29、ters. According to the “riffraff(群氓，社会渣滓) theory“, the hint of mob action attracts delinquents (少年犯罪者), uneducated and unemployed drifters (流浪者) and criminal types who delight in violence for its own sake. Most residents do not approve of the rioters behavior or participate themselves. According to
30、the “rabble-rouser (煽动者) theory“, most riots are started by political militants who deliberately plant false rumors, create panic, and stir the crowd to violence.In the case of the Watts riot, investigation by the Presidents National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders proved these popular theori
31、es false. A majority of Watts residents approved of the riot. Sixty-two percent saw riots as a form of protest, not criminal behavior; 64 percent thought the merchants whose stores were looted (抢劫) or burned deserved what they got; 83 percent said whites were now more aware of black Americans proble
32、ms; 58 percent believed the long-term consequences would be favorable. About 20 percent of Watts residents were active participants in the riot; another 30 percent watched sympathetically from the sidelines.Of the 3 927 people arrested, 2 111 were over twenty-five years old, 1 113 had no previous ar
33、rest record, and 965 others had been arrested before But were never convicted.The typical rioter had been born and raised in the area, had more education than the average non-rioter, was more involved in community affairs, was employed at least part-time, and was no poorer than the average non-riote
34、r. Three-fourths of the rioters (like three-fourths of non-rioters) had grown up in a stable, intact family. What seemed to distinguish rioters from non-participants was a strong sense of black pride and the feeling that they deserved better jobs and were being held back by racism. Finally, there wa
35、s no evidence at all of a conspiracy (阴谋，密谋). Watts rioters werent trying to overthrow the capitalist system-far from it. As widespread looting demonstrated, they wanted a greater share of the nations riches.（分数：8.00）(1).The authors explanation of the Watts riot may be that _.（分数：2.00）A.Watts rioter
36、s were trying to defeat the capitalist systemB.Watts rioters wanted to share more wealth of the nationC.Watts rioters were deceived by some conspiratorsD.some political militants deliberately planted false rumors(2).In the authors opinion, _.（分数：2.00）A.the Watts riot was senselessB.the Watts riot wa
37、s a criminal behaviorC.most of the Watts residents were active participants in the riotD.most of the Watts residents were in favour of the riot(3).The active participants in the Watts riot were those _.（分数：2.00）A.uneducated and unemployed drifters who had nothing to be responsible for in the society
38、B.criminal types who delighted in violence for the benefit of their ownC.Watts residents who believed that racism prevented them from getting better in the societyD.political militants who created the rumors and stirred the residents to violence(4).The passage mainly talks about _.（分数：2.00）A.the myt
39、hs and facts about the Watts riotB.the different attitudes towards the Watts riotC.the popular explanations for the Watts riotD.the partial investigation of the Watts riotBPassage Two/BRegular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine(削弱) healt
40、hy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week.Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothe
41、rs, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. “This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail.“ contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University. Belsky and several of his colleagues announced their
42、findings last week at the international conference.The investigation consists of 1 153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to
43、mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6, and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness. Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretakers personali
44、ty at child nursing, and kids emotional reaction by the equipment.After taking family factors into account, other psychologists state that the researchers found no relation between the quality of child care and infants response. But the experimenters contend that the boys who spent more than 30 hour
45、s per week in child care exhibited more emotion for their mothers than other boys who didnt, and the girls who spent the same hours per week in child care showed a modest rise in this emotion. Therefore, quality of child care outside home plays an important role in the connection between mothers and
46、 infants.（分数：8.00）(1).From the first paragraph we know that _.（分数：2.00）A.mother care is the best according to a national studyB.child care outside home is the best in accordance with the studyC.regular child care outside home may play a role as a motherD.connections between mothers and infants are d
47、amaged by outside care(2).Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care _.（分数：2.00）A.was never carried out in the pastB.was not much done in detail in the pastC.was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchersD.was interesting, but very difficult to make discovery(3).The main difference betwee
48、n the investigation and the previous ones is that _.（分数：2.00）A.the researchers started with only one month old infantsB.the observers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soonC.the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homesD.video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly(4).The girls who received the same hours of child care outside home as the boys demonstrated _.（分数：2.00）A.more emotion for their mothersB.less emotion for their moth
