studied hundreds of adults of all ages.“as our study shows，fathers do play a unique and important role in the mental health of their children much later in life，”psychology professor melanie mallers of california state university said.for this study,912 adult men and women between the ages of 25 and 74 completed short daily telephone interviews about that days experiences over an eightday period.the interviews focused on the participants psychological and emotional distress (i.e.，whether they were nervous，sad，etc.) and if they had experienced any stressful events that day.the participants were also required to answer questions such as，“how would you rate your relationship with your mother during the years when you were growing up？”and “how much time and attention did your mother give you when you needed it？”the same questions were asked about fathers.people who reported they had a good motherchild relationship reported three percent less psychological distress compared to those who reported a poor relationship，according to mallers.men who reported having a good relationship with their father during childhood were more likely to be less emotional when reacting to stressful events in their current daily lives than those who had a poor relationship，according to her findings.also，the quality of mother and father relationships was significantly associated with how many stressful events the participants faced on a daily basis.in other words，if they had a poor childhood relationship with both parents，they reported more stressful incidents over the eightday study when compared to those who had a good relationship with their parents.mallers theorized why healthy or unhealthy relationships may have an effect on how people handle stress as adults，“perhaps having caring parents equips children with the experiences and skills necessary to more successfully navigate their relationships with other people throughout childhood and into adulthood.”she said.【语篇导读】最新研究发现，孩提时的父母与子女的关系会影响孩子成人以后的处理压力的能力。36what can we know about the recent study from the passage?ait was led by melanie mallers.b912 adults who were over twentyfive joined in it.cit lasted

pushing the delicate red fruit to waiting trucks it is a typical winter scene embedded in the patchwork of homes and farms that make up eastern hillsborough county. that scene is changing, though, as the labor pool shrinks and technology comes knocking. wish farms owner gary wishnatzki and his engineer partner bob pitzer are banking on technology. as strawberry season wrapped up in february, their driverless strawberry-picking machine drove into the fields for some test runs. the results were impressive and enlightening（有启迪作用的）, wishnatzki said. for some three years now, farmers have been forced to abandon millions of dollars worth of strawberries in fields, mostly in hillsborough and manatee counties, because they lacked laborers, industry experts say. the problem has been just as serious in california, arizona and other farm communities. the reasons for the shrinking worker pool are numerous. migrant（移民）workers who have picked the fields for years are aging. young adults in migrant families already in the united states are getting better educations and have more choices these days, including the construction industry, which again is on the upswing. stricter security is allowing fewer undocumented workers to cross the border from mexico. and mexicans are having much smaller families now just over two children per family, compared with 7.3 per family in 1960, according to a pew hispanic center report released in 2012.and since mexicos economy bounced back faster than that of the u.s., more mexicans have been able to find work closer to home, according to the study.“we came up with a concept we perceive as a necessity,” wishnatzki said. “the labor pool has been shrinking for over 10 years now. it has been pretty harmful.” so in 2012, he and pitzer formed their partnership, harvest croo robotics, to develop a mechanical picker. the harvest croo design has multiple picking heads that will move across a field, picking 25 acres over a three-day period, the typical time for picking fruit as it ripens. it has a “vision system” to distinguish between red and green strawberries and is able to get under the leaves to find and pick the ripe berries. picking strawberries is nothing like using a combine on a corn field, coming through and thrashing down the plants. strawberries are delicate and ripen in various intervals, which harvest croo is taking into account in developing its machine. a strawberry-picking machine will never completely replace the need for human labor in the fields, wishnatzki said, but if the machines can supplement（补充）labor enough to keep the industry profitable, he and pitzer will have met their goal.【小题1】which of the following describes the typical winter scene of eastern hillsborough county?
