31、 national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the councils diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s

32、and 1970s could not be set up today.But Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in a peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as tourist attraction, he went on.The short

33、view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. “ We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems, on which any built-up area ultimately depends, “ Dr.Baum went

34、 on,“ We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature.However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass.“ 31 According to recent studies by th

41、pts to changing social and economic influences.Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children.The nuclear family is an independent unit.It must be prepared to fend for itself.Individual family members strongly de

42、pend on one another.There is little help from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so.In North America, the elderly often do not live with the family; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.

43、here are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family

44、to hunt for food. For North Americans, the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility. The nuclear family was not always the North American standard.In a more agrarian time,the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family.This might have included grandparent

45、s, mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins.In North America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households.Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated, or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear
