21、Putting children in daycare helps working parents take their minds off childcare. 【1】

How daycare negatively affects children is related to many factors. One study has suggested that some children who spend long hours in daycare centers experience more stress than those who spend more time in a setting with a mother.

Another study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol (皮质醇) which is released when an individual shows signs of stress. 【2】 And as a result the child may not mix well with the other children and the teachers at the daycare center, a situation that can cause stress.

Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and her child. 【3】 So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her mother, since this will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she will form later on in life. Children who spend a lot of time with their mothers experience healthy social and emotional development, while long hours in daycare can disrupt this bonding. Children who lose out on precious mother-child bonding are observed to have behavioral problems as they grow older.

Children in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home. In a daycare center, when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time, she may not be able to look deeply into why a child is mixing well or not. 【4】 Another negative aspect of daycare is that children there are more likely to fall ill if they come in contact with sick children.

【5】 Well-maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall development of a child by providing a structured environment. Children become more social by interacting with other children of the same age, and learn new activities that are not always available if they are brought up only at home.

A．But daycare has its disadvantages.

B．Look for a daycare center that is well-maintained.

C．However, the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored.

D．This is because a shy child will not open up freely in public.

E．Babies become extremely attached to their primary caregivers.

F．In such cases, a child may become either completely quiet or aggressive.

G．You can cut the time in daycare centers by making alternative childcare arrangements.

22、   Canada is a bilingual country with "co-official " languages. English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all government agencies in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from government in either English or French. Government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in certain bilingual regions.

Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years’  War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co official languages.

Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.

The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English and French and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.

Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase "where numbers justify "to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.

While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics. Canada finds that over 200 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French

【1】Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?

A. The language-using tradition caused by Canada's colonial history

B. The theoretical commitment made by Canadian courts in the past

C. The welcome attitude towards people coming from all over the world

D. The mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education

【2】What is the current situation of official languages in Canada?

A. People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal laws

B. Federal governments have to provide bilingual services to all citizens in Canada

C. French minority communities are given more support due to their language-using history

D. There are more people speaking English than French in some parts of Canada

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.

B. Some Canadians in certain districts might speak neither English nor French

C. Either French or English should be used on products in Canada according to the law

D. English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger users in Canada

【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

A. The Official Languages in Canada   B. Canada, a Multiple-language Land

C. Balancing English and French in Canada   D. Advancing English and French in Canada
