The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for mak-ing people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of educa-tion. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.
According to the passage, the American elementary education is supposed to make children______.
A.sensible and sensitive
B.competitive and interested
C.curious and friendly
D.happy and co-operative

Regulation and Control. The government regulates and controls private【8】in many-ways, for the【9】of assuring that business serves the best【10】of the people as a whole. Regulation is necessary in areas where private enterprise is granted a【11】, such as in telephone or electric service. Public policy permits such companies to make a reasonable【12】, but limits their ability to raise prices【13】, since the public depends on their services. Often control is【14】to protect the public, as for example, when the Food and Drug administration bans harmful drugs, or requires standards of【15】in food. In other industries, government sets guidelines to ensure fair competition without using direct control.
Stabilization and Growth. Branches of government, including Congress and such entities as the Federal Reserve Board, attempt to control the extremes of boom and bust, of inflation and depression, by【16】tax rates, the money supply, and the use of credit. They can also【17】the economy through changes in the amount of public spending by the government itself.
Direct Assistance. The government provides many kinds of help to【18】and individuals. For example, tariffs【19】certain products to remain relatively free of foreign con petition; imports are sometimes taxed so that American products are able to【20】better with certain foreign goods. In quite a different area, government supports individuals who cannot adequately care for themselves, by making grants to working parents with dependent children, by providing medical care for the aged and the indigent, and through social welfare system.

Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped--or, as the case might be bumped into- concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers--the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threenes that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table--is itself far from innate.
