32、sitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book
33、 From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe. ” Its the parents role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family.

Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor
39、of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（刺激）,”Edwards points out. “The problem is
40、how we promote（使成为现实）that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution. ”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six
41、weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO.

In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car,
