听力原文：W: Dr. Jolly, I like to know the purpose of today's discussion？
M: I want the parents to know a great deal about bringing up children.
W: How will this be achieved？ By encouraging parents to watch their children and how they respond day by day？
M: So often a mother is liable to feel "He's playing quietly on his own. I can get on with my work," and so she's not with her child. The result is that the child very quickly becomes bored, playing on his own. Mothers need to know that, although they shouldn't necessarily be doing anything, they need to be with their child because this encourages him whether he's painting or whether he's making things or whatever it may be. If a mother is, say, working in the kitchen, her child wants her and just quietly calls to Mummy, but she doesn't respond until he shouts. So in effect, she's said to him "Unless you shout at me, I won't come." And then she comes to me and says "I've got a child who's always shouting." You find that in effect she's trained him to shout.

A multinational corporation is a corporate enterprise, which though headquartered in one country, conducts its operations through branches that it owns or controls around the world. The organizations, mostly based in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, have become major actors on the international stage, for some of them are wealthier than many of the countries they operate in. the less developed countries often welcome the multinational corporations because they are a source of investment and jobs. Yet their presence has its drawbacks, for these organizations soon develop immense political and economic influence in the host countries. Development becomes concentrated in a few industries that are oriented to the needs of the outsiders; profits are frequently exported rather than reinvested; and local benefits go mainly to a small ruling group whose interests are tied to those of the foreigners rather than to those of their own people. The effect is to further increase export dependency and to limit the less developed countries' control of their own economies.
It seems that both the modernization and world-system approaches may be valid in certain respects. The modernization model does help us make sense of the historical fact of industrialization and of the various internal adjustments that, societies undergo during this process. The world-system model reminds us that countries do not develop in isolation. They do so in a context of fierce international political and economic competition, a competition whose outcome favors the stronger parties.
Today, the less developed countries are struggling to achieve in the course of a few years the material advantages that the older industrialized national have taken generations to gain. The result is often a tug-of-war between the forces of modernization and the sentiments of tradition, with serious social disturbance as the result. The responses have taken many different forms; military overthrow by army officers determined to impose social order; fundamentalist religious movements urging a return to absolute moralities an certainties of the past; nationalism as a new ideology to unite the people for the challenge of modernization. And sometimes social change takes place in a way that is not evolutionary, but revolutionary.
