" Sesame Street" (芝麻街) has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America's exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation's pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching "Sesame Street". Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children's shows？ Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch "Sesame Street" along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on "Sesame Street". But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

It's unusual now for father to persue(追求)his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father's business, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon gains a feeling of economic independence (经济上的独立). In textile areas it has been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child's home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty five years. With mother earning and older children drawing wages, father is seldom the most important figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother's employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from School.

A．fathers often persue employment at home
B．many families produce goods at home for sale

they were smaller. People believed that children were just “small adults”, and expected them to dress and act like adults.
But now people know much more about children. In both body and mind, children are different from adults because they are at a different stage of development. As far as the body is concerned, it is obvious. A baby of six months can sit up, but can not run, and so on. But the development of the mind is not so obvious. A small child, for example, does not understand the difference between the present and the fu ture. So if the child asks for an apple and the parent says,“ No, not now, you can have one after lunch." The child often cries. Some mothers think the child is being difficult, but perhaps he is just being differ ent; he does not understand the idea of the future, and for him ”not now means “never”. So naturally, the child cries.
People used to believe that ______.
A．children should wear adults'
B．children were the same as adults, except that they were smaller
C．children acted like adults
D．children were adults in small clothes

"Young women with children are under a lot of pressure these days, and they expect their mothers to help them pick up the pieces", noted Dr. Bertram J. Choler, a behavioral scientist at the University of Chicago. "This is often the strongest source of resentment on the part of Grandmother, who has finished with child caring and now has her own life to live. Grandmothers like to see their children and grandchildren, but on their own time".
In all the four New England families studied, the older women resented the numerous phone calls and visits from their grown daughter, who often turned to their mothers for advice, physical resources, affection, and companionship as well as baby sitting services. "American society keeps piling on the burdens for older people, particularly those in their 50s and 60s", Dr. Choler said in an interview here. "They're still working and they're taking care of their grown children and maybe also their aged parents. Sometimes life gets to be too much. That's one reason many older folks move far away, to Florida or Arizona. They need more space and time to attend to their own affair and friends. Young people don't understand this, and that's part of what create tension between generations".
He has found that, contrary to what the younger generations may have thought, older people have an enormous amount to do. "More than half of working-class grandmothers still work, and if they're retired they have activities in the community that keep them occupied", he said. "Each generation has got to appreciate the unique needs of the other", Dr. Choler went on. "The younger generation has to realize that grandparents have busy, active lives and that they need privacy and more space for themselves. And the older generation has to realize that continuing to be part of the family is important to the younger generation and that they need help and support".
He noted that problems with interdependence between generations were likely to be more intense in working-class families than in middle and upper-class families. He explained that the working class tended to be geographically less mobile and to have fewer outside resources and that daughters were more likely to be reared with a strong family orientation and less emphasis on establishing an independent life.
What can be inferred from the sentence "Sometimes life gets to be too much" (Sentence 4, Paragraph 3)？
A．Older people enjoy their life very much.
B．To older people, sometimes life becomes very difficult.
C．There are so many things to do that the grandparents can't decide.
D．To older people, sometimes life is rewarding.
