根据以下内容回答下面试题:
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discu-ssion among economists.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population,inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively.Thus,each person produces.1ess and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports,roads and railways,which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth val了from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food,space and natural resources,it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate.Whatever the consequences may be.In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more Com-plex.A decreasing birth rate may lead tp unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.When the pressure of population on housing declines,prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these,the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which iS stable or in decline.

根据以下内容回答下面试题:
A youngster's social development has a profound effect on his academic progress.Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学).In the early grades especially,experts say,youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.“When children work on a pro-ject,”says Lillian Kate,an educational professor at the University of Illinois,“they learn to work together,to disagree,to think to take turns and lighten tensions.These skims can’t be learned through lecture.We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.Relationships should be the first R.”
At a certain age,children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others.For most children,school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world.Just as the l-year-old struggling to walk the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations.“Young kids don’t know how to distinguish early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey,if they try hard to do something and fail,they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task.The effects is serious,”says Hills,“a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.”

根据以下内容回答下面试题:
It is well known that when an individual joins a group he tends to accept the group’s stand-ards of behavior and thinkin9.He is expected to behave in accordance with these norms——in other words the group expects him to conform.Many illustrations could be given of this from everyday life,but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which people’s judgments and opinions can be changed as a resuh of group pressure.
In a typical experiment,the experimenter ask for volunteers to join a group whicii is inves tigating visual perception.The victims are not,therefore,aware of the real purpose of the ex-periment.Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are collaborating with the experimenter.The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line.They are then asked to look at a second card.This has three lines on it.One is ob-viously longer than the line on the first card,one is shorter and one the same length.They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card.The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines.The volunteer sees that the other members of the group unanimously choose a line which is obviously not the same length as the one on the standard card.
When it is his turn to answer he is faced with the unanimous opinion of the rest of the gmup—all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct.What will he do?According to Asch,more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion.What is equally surprising is that,when interviewed about their answers,most explained that they knew the group choice was incorrect but that they yielded to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion.
第26题单选 Psychologists are interested in__________ .
A.how far group pressure can influence people’s judgments

“CuIture shock”occurS as result of total immersion in a new culture.It happens to“peo-Dle who haye been suddenly transplanted abroad.”Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language,know the customs,or understand people’s behavior in daily life.The visitor finds that“yes may not always mean“yes”,that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The for-eigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stmnger.The notion of“culture shock”helps explain feelings of bewilderment(困惑)and disorientation.Language problems do not account for all the frustrations(挫败)that people feel.When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system,knowing how to register for university classes,Ot knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
