The strategy in China is TV. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing market to compensate for tough times on home soil.“It doesnt matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout (寻找) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBAs vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their America peers.

But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion Firstly，anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents；found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societiesFor example，in some tribal societies，such as the Ngoni，the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant alonefar from itSecondly，common sense tells US that day care would not be so widespread today if parents care-takers found children had problems with itStatistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out，and even if they were，the results would be certain to be complicated and controversialThirdlyin the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care，and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on childrens developmentBut tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effectsThe possibility that such care might lead to，say，more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statisticsWhatever the longterm effects，parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with。Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappinessAt the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy，and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this timeThe matter，then，is far from clear-cuff，though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants(17.5分)31). Which of the following statements would Bowlby support?(3.5分)(A) Statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day carfor children at the age of three or older(B) Early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illness in children(C) The first three years of ones life is extremely important to the later development of personality(D) Children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children over three.参考答案：C32). Which of the following is derivable from Bowlbys work?(3.5分)(A) Mothers should not send their children to day care centers before the age of three(B) Day care nur
