⼉童需要收养因为有的亲⽣⽗母没有能⼒满⾜⼉童成长的需要。

有多种原因导致收养计划的制定。

亲⽣⽗母可能由于太年轻或在经济上、感情上不能提供适当的养护，⽽觉得⾃⼰担负不起抚养⼀个突如其来的孩⼦的责任。

他们感觉⾃⼰还没有准备好或没有能⼒成为合格的⽗母。

在另外⼀些情况下，⼉童需要收养是因为法庭认定他们的亲⽣⽗母不能尽到⾃⼰的责任。

这些孩⼦中许多都遭受了家庭虐待或没有得到应有的看护。

不管⼉童是因为什么原因⽽需要收养。

他们都是通过私⼈或公共社会服务机构找到养⽗母的。

也有的收养关系是当事⼈⾃⾏安排的，就是亲⽣⽗母和养⽗母不通过中介机构相互认识，然后按照他们所在州的法律法规完成收养事宜。

20世纪70年代早期，意欲收养孩⼦的家庭数量有了飞速的增长，这种状况⼀直延续到了现在。

因此，想要收养孩⼦的家庭数⽬总是超出了可被收养的婴⼉数⽬。

收养家庭剧增的原因是多种多样的，⼀个主要的因素是，许多⼈选择延迟成家，结果许多⼈发现⾃⼰由于年龄⼤⽽不容易⽣育了，所以他们想要孩⼦的愿望只能通过收养实现了。

关于古希腊戏剧的起源存在多种理论。

今天最⼴为⼈们接受的理论基于这样⼀个假设：戏剧是由宗教仪式发展⽽来的。

这⼀观点的理论如下。

起初，⼈们觉得世界上的⾃然⼒量，即便是四季交替也是诡秘莫测的，于是他们寻求各种⽅法去控制这些未知的、可怕的⼒量。

⽽那些看来能带来预测结果的⽅法被逐渐保留下来并重复使⽤，直到成为固定的宗教仪式，最终产⽣了⽤以解释或给仪式披上神秘⾯纱的故事。

随着时间的推移，⼀些仪式被舍弃了，但是这些以后被称为神话的故事保留下来了并为艺术和戏剧提供了素材。

那些认为戏剧源于宗教仪式的⼈还认为，宗教仪式包含了戏剧的萌芽因素，因为⾳乐、舞蹈、⾯具和服装在其中⼏乎⼀直是不可或缺的，其次必须为演出提供合适的场所，如果不是整个社区参加演出，经常在“表演区”和“观众席”之间划出明显的分界。

另外，对于表演者来说，由于要绝对避免仪式进⾏时发⽣失误，因此仪式中的⾓⾊则常常由宗教领袖来担当，他们如同此后的职业演员⼀样，戴着⾯具，穿着演出服装，经常模仿他⼈、动物或神灵，并模拟出期望的结果---诸如在狩猎或战⽃中取胜，即将来临的⼤⾬，⽇蚀后太阳的复出等。

最终，这样的戏剧表演从宗教活动中分离出来。

在美国，学校通常被认为是⼈们接受教育的地⽅。

然⽽，已有⼈指出如今孩⼦们打断了他们所受的教育去上学。

理解这句话中暗含的学校学习和教育的区别很重要。

教育远⽐校内学习开放和丰富。

教育是⽆所不在的，它可以在任何场合下进⾏，不管是淋浴时还是在⼯作时，也不管在厨房中或拖拉机上。

教育不仅包括了在学校的正式学习，它还包含整个⾮正式的学习领域。

从德⾼望重的祖⽗母到在收⾳机中针砭时弊的⼈们，从年幼的孩⼦到著名的科学家都可视为教育者。

如果说学校的学习具有某种可预见性的话，那么教育就会常常产⽣意想不到的效果，与陌⽣⼈的⼀席谈可以使⼈发现对其他宗教的⼀⽆所知。

⼈们早在婴⼉期就开始
接受教育了。

因此，教育是⼀个⼴义的概念。

它是⼀项终⾝活动，⼀项远⽐⼊学开始得早得多的活动，⽽且是⼀个⼈⼀⽣中始终不可或缺的部分。

学校的学习，从另⼀⽅⾯来看，则是⼀个特定的、规范化的过程，其⼀般模式，历经沧桑，未见多变。

全国的孩⼦们在⼤致相同的时间到校，坐在指定座位上，有⼀未成年⼈授课，⽤类似的课本，做作业，参加考试等。

对于应掌握的现实的各层⾯，不管它是字母，还是对政府运作的⼀种理解，通常都会因学科的分明界限⽽受到限制。

remark: ⾔辞，评论
saying: 谚语，格⾔
know no bounds: ⽆⽌境的，⽆限

当他听到⼈家说他不诚实时，他怒不可遏。

Their honesty know no bounds.= They are extremely honest.
integral: 构成整体所必需的,不可缺的; 完整的，整体的；
minor: 较⼩的，次要的；subordinate: 次要的，从属的；
