interactions, relationship, experience.5)I had convinced myself that my analytic mind and my Stanford humanities degree were enough to guell the fear.6) We all know that normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours sleep alternating with some 16-17 hours wakefulness and that,broadly speaking,the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.7) The case ,for example,with which

My friends daughter，Sarah，stood by me waiting her turn.22) I was the only adult present who prompted “What do you say?”When the clown handed Sarah her balloon.The clown beamed at us，grateful he had

26由于家庭成员和客人常常会同时使用厨房，所以厨房不仅要美观而且要实用。27家庭用具的再循环问题，厨房设备的节能问题以及水和空气的净化问题都受到重视。 28与30年前相比，现在的厨房的特点有了很大的不同，在食物制作方面更为尖端高级，再食物烹制和清洁方面也能提供更多的技术帮助。 29由于许多当今的厨房都有两个或者更多的人一起准备饭菜。所以很有必要为厨房设计更大的台面，更多的厨具和洗涤槽等。

or lesser extent，notions of male superiority are hard to maintain.32) In such a home，the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than their parents did and to prepare more fully participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”。33) There are signs that pshchologists and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should nor receive all the credit，nor all the blame.We have almost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. 34) We are beginning，however，to study a mans place in the home and to resist that he does have a place in it.Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. 35) The family is a cooperative enterprise for which

men and women in a part of the brain linked with ability to estimate time，judge speed，visualize things three-dimensionally and solve mathematical problems.37) The differences，the researchers say，may underlie well-known trends that vary by sex，such as the fact that more men than women are architects，mathematicians and race-car drivers.38) In women in the study，it is the right IPL that is somewhat larger，though the difference between the two sides of the brains is less obvious than in men，say Psychiatrist Godfrey Pearlson，M.D. ，who headed the project.39) It allows the brain to process information from senses such as vision and touch，and enable the sort of thinking involved in selective attention and perception.40)There are plenty of exceptions，but there is also a grain of truth，revealed throught the brain structure，that we think underlies some of the ways people characterize the sexes.31在男女角色没有明显划分，家务事或多或少由双方共同承担的家庭中，男尊女卑的观点是很难维持的。32在这种家庭长大的孩子比他们父母更容易接受平等的观念，并做好充分准备去加入一个合作的，而不是“性别大战”的社会。33有一些迹象表明，有关家庭方面的心理学家和专家意识到男性在家庭中的作用，他们认为在涉及家庭方面的问题上不应该由女性承担所有的赞扬或指责。我们已经不再坚持认为女性就应该呆在家里。34相反的，我们开始研究男性在家庭中的地位，并坚持男性在家庭中占有一席之地的观点。男性在家庭中的地位与孩子的健康成长不无关联。35家庭是一个合作的集体，很难制定
