Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of
living space．The amount of space a person needs around
him is a cultural difference，not an economic one．Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect
your choices，including，for
example，the number of bedrooms in the home．If you were brought up in a two-children family and
both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms，the chances are，if you
have two children or more，that you also will offer separate bedrooms
for them．In America，for
example，they train people
to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they
are babies．This is very rare in the world that in many
other countries the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near
them．
The space in the home also shows a lot
about psychological space needs．Some families gather closer to each other
and the size of their house has nothing to do with it．Others have separate little corners where family
members go to be alone，
Although it is true that, psychological space needs are not decided by
economic reasons，they sometimes have to be changed a little
because of economic pressures．It is almost impossible，however，to
completely change your psychological space needs．

Many immigrants(移民) to the United
States find the decision to seek better lives for their families in America can
have an unexpected and tragic consequence. Deep differences with their children
develop over language and culture.
“Many immigrants arrive here
without much education. Their kids soon gain language skills and also street
marts(耍时髦) on how to live in America, leaving the parents at a disadvantage,”
Ileana , Roses, pastor of a Methodist church group operating in Virginia, said.
“Not only that but they find they cannot relate to children who quickly absorb
American culture,” she said. According to the US Census Bureau(人口调查局), the number of
foreign born or first generation Americans reached 55 million last year, a
record one in five of the total population. A government survey of 922
immigrants in 2000 found that nearly 40 percent of those who had been in the United States
for more than 15 years would still like to take English classes if they had the
time. Two thirds of low income households depended on their children for
translation. Psychologists(心理学家) and sociologists say parents can lose their
position of authority(权威) in a family as a result and the effects of that
can be far-reaching. Children exposed to American pop culture that praises
youth and sexuality often rebel when their parents try to impose the
conservative values they brought with them. “Americanization erodes(侵蚀) all important
aspects of parenting,” said Richard Weissbourd, who
teaches education at Harvard University. “I feel a part of me is dying with my
children. They don’t listen to my music. I have to play it on Sunday morning
when they are not around,” said an immigrant.

A. 275 million B. 220 million C. 255 million D. smaller than 250 million
70. Which of the

B. Two thirds of immigrant

C. American culture shows a
