更多"Boarding Concern has been campaigni"的相关试题:
[单项选择]Boarding Concern has been campaigning for several years about the psychosocial problems facing young children caused by early boarding. It has been an uphill struggle, because as George Monbiot points up, the trauma (创伤,外伤) of the privileged has little political purchase. We strongly welcome Monbiot’s call for the issue to get the public policy attention it deserves.
With the publication of Professor Schaverien’s paper in the British Journal of Psychotherapy last year, and subsequent wide media coverage, there is a growing consensus that "boarding school syndrome" is a real consequence for many of those sent away to board at a primary school age. Our members, and others, can give proof to the developmental harm done by premature separation from the security and intimate relationships of family life, which no institution can emulate.
Parents wanting to place a very young child into the institutional care of a boarding school should have to apply to social services and be subje
A. Professor Schaverien’s paper
B. intimate relationships of family life
C. late separation from family members
D. parents sending kids to board too early

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today’s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today’s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives
The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical victim. To make the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.
In the U. S., a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People w

B. Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.

[简答题]Food price inflation has aroused growing concern worldwide. There is rising price pressure for major grains in China this year as a result of deficient supplies, soaring agricultural produce costs and fluctuations on the international futures markets. The extreme weather this past winter and severe drought that hit northern China this spring, will make it harder to ensure grain supplies.
As our country is mainly self-sufficient in grains, rising rice prices on the global markets will not have much impact domestically. China can keep grain prices stable amid supply shortages and rising agricultural costs thanks to our abundant grain reserves.

Conventional wisdom has it that concern for the environment is a luxury only the rich world can afford; that only people whose basic needs for food and shelter have been met can start worrying about the health of the planet. This survey will argue that developing countries, too, should be thinking about the environment. True, in the rich countries a strong environmental movement did not emerge until long after they had become industrialized, a stage that many developing countries have yet to reach. And true. many of the developed world’s environmental concerns have little to do with immediate threats to its inhabitants’ well-being. People worry about whether carbon-dioxide emissions might lead to a warmer climate next century, or whether genetically engineered crops might have unforeseen consequences for the ecosystem. That is why, when rich world environmentalists’ campaign against pollution in poor countries, they are often accused of naivety. Such countries,
A. developing countries should worry about the harm caused by polluted water and air
B. the developing countries’ economy will develop more rapidly if they deal with environmental problems right now
C. the conventional wisdom has it that solving environmental problems may hurt economic growth
D. the conventional wisdom holds that dealing with environmental problems now will generally cost less
