f his or her development in academic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and appraise.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been anticipated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.

The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only child. As the number of children and financial obligations increased, the father’s apparent intere4st and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family is, a father’s active participation in the child’s development made a definite difference in the child’s progress.

The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency of the child’s level in math and reading, a father’s employment on night shifts appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress.

听力原文：Lebanese leaders have called for three days of mourning after a Christian cabinet

听力原文： Lebanese leaders have called for three days of mourning after a Christian cabinet minister was gunned down while driving near Beirut today. The murder of Pierre Gemayel plunged the fragile Lebanese government deep into crisis.

Outside Saint Joseph's hospital, cabinet ministers, family members and stunned residents gathered in the wake of the murder. Pierre Gemayel's motorcade had been riddled with bullets by unknown assailants. His father, former President Amin Gemayel urged Lebanese to make this a night of prayer and reflection, not of reckless acts of revenge.

Pierre Gemayel's friend and political colleague Saad Hariri immediately pointed an accusing finger at Damascus, saying the hands of Syria are all over this. Hariri's father was killed two years ago and investigators say some evidence points to Syrian involvement there. Syria denies that and condemned the Gemayel killing. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora vowed the embattled government would carry on, but this killing plus six recent resignations mean the cabinet is barely big enough to function.

At the night of the murder, former president Amin Gemayel urged Lebanese to ______.

A．pray

B．revenge

C．criticize

D．protest

rs do？ Much of what they contribute is simply the result of being a second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. Two adults can support and make up for each other's deficiencies and build on each other's strengths.

Fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teen-age boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pathway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn from their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, how to relate to men. They learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, they learn that they are love-worthy.

Current research gives much deeper-and more surprising-insight into the father's role in child-rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. Form. their children's birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasize play more than care-taking. The father's style. of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental skills. It frequently resembles a teaching relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the child's level. They seem willing to let the child direct play.

Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 21 or 22year-olds who were given a choice, more than two-thirds chose to play with their father.

The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is particularly important in promoting self-control. According to one expert, "children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not acceptable." They learn when to "shut it down."

At play and in other realms, fathers tend to stress competition, challenge, initiative, risktaking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional security and personal safety. On the play ground fathers often try to get the child to swing ever higher, while mothers are cautious, worrying about an accident.

We know, too, that fathers' involvement seems to be linked to improved verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found that along with paternal strictness, the amount of time fathers spent reading with them was a strong predictor of their daughters' verbal ability.

For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relationship between fathers' involvement and the mathematical abilities of their sons. Other studies found a relationship between paternal nurturing and boy's verbal intelligence.

The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is ______.

A．husband and wife can share housework

B．two adults are always better than one

C．the fundamental importance of mothers can be fully recognized

D．husband and wife can compensate for each other's shortcomings

听力原文：Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of the

听力原文： Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of the family. His grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a Wall Street financier who was elected to the Senate of the United States from Connecticut in 1952. Although his father began his career in the oil industry, he eventually served as a congressman.

At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father embarked on a career in the petroleum business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family moved back to Texas and settled in Midland, a town in western Texas legated about 500 km (300 mi) from Fort Worth. Bush lived in Midland from 1950 to 1959. He had three brothers Jeb, Neil, and Marvin, and a sister, Dorothy. In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding school that his father had also attended.

At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being heed cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. That same year, Bush campaigned for his father in his unsuccessful bid to win a U.S. Senate seat from Texas.

At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates. During Bush's time at Yale, college students all over the country began to hold protests about a variety of issues, including protests against U.S. involvement in rite Vietnam War (1959-1975). Bush was uncomfortable with the growth of the student protest movement, and he generally refrained from participating in campus polities. In 1968 he campaigned on behalf of his father, who was running for reelection for a seat in the House of Representatives that he had won in 1966.

(33)

A．He was a Wall Street financier.

B．He was a congressman.

C．He did petroleum business.
