In families with two working parents, fathers may have more impact on a child's language development than mothers, a new study suggests.
Researchers（1）92 families from 11 child care centers before their children were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and child care arrangements. Overall, it was a group of well-educated middle-class families, with married parents both living in the home.

It grew out of a previous investigation into Mr. Dantas’s use of Kroll, a security consultancy, to watch over his business partners. Duri A. A crime quite experienced and tactful. B. A crime by operating at the opaque place. C. A crime attempting to temper police to work for him. D. A crime in money laundering. [单项选择]Whoever said that victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan, surely had never heard of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the case of the hapless multilateral trade body and its long suffering representatives, the total failure of the opening meeting of the so called Millennium trade round has lots of people boasting of their roles in the violent physical struggle. Well. That’s just brilliant. They are proud of being part of a movement that wants to wreck the most important engine of economic growth, prosperity and overall global rising living standards we have--the freedom of trade and movement of people and goods between nations.
The 135-member WTO is composed of sovereign governments wishing to further this goal and ease the settlement of international trade disputes. From the sounds emanating from Seattle, though, it would now seem the WTO has now replaced the Trilateral Commission and the Freemasons as candidate No. 1 to take over the World. Everybody h A. his failure to match his words with his actions. B. his lack of historical knowledge about the WTO. C. his putting the issue in a wrong perspective. D. his exaggeration of WTO’s economic role. 我来回答: 提交
