ELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD—UNTIL NOW.
Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankind's most important journeys: from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable.

Since the birth of the modem science of electricity 265 years ago, mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive(到处存在的) economic and environmental regulation.
Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible—from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.
Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit­makers and policy­makers must use a wide­angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future.
(　　)56. According to the passage, the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us ________．
A. pioneering science of electricity B. significant journeys of electricity
C. the people who invented electricity D. the research which was about electricity
(　　)57. Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying?
A. Because a policy­maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers' interest.
B. Because a policy­maker can help promote the better use of electricity.
C. Because policy­makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market.
D. Because policy­makers can take control of the economy through electricity.

As countless unmade beds and unfinished homework assignments prove, kids need rules. Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a child's social skills, psychologists at the University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion of a study investigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Initially 184 13­year­olds filled out multiple surveys, including one to assess how often their parents employed psychologically controlling strategies, such as inducing guilt or threatening to withdraw affection. The kids rated, for example, how typical it would be for Dad to suggest that “if I really cared for him, I would not do things that caused him to worry” or for Mom to become “less friendly when I did not see things her way.”
The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking the young adults to bring along a close friend and, later, a romantic partner if they had one. These pairs were asked to answer hypothetical(假设的) questions that were purposefully written to inspire a difference of opinion. “We wanted to see whether they could navigate a disagreement in a healthy way，” says study leader Barbara Oudekerk, now at the U. S. Department of Justice's bureau of statistics.
In the October issue of Child Development, Oudekerk and her colleagues report that the 13­year­olds who had highly controlling parents struggled in friendly disagreements at age 18. They had difficulty stating their opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents. And when they did speak up, they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways.
The researchers suspect that pushy parents ruin their child's ability to learn how to argue his or her own viewpoint in other relationships. Although parents do need to set boundaries, domineering strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the bond itself. Separate findings suggest that parents who explain the reasons behind their rules and turn disagreements into conversations leave youngsters better prepared for future arguments.
The consequences of tense or domineering relationships appear to get worse with time. This study also found that social difficulties at 18 predicted even poorer communication abilities at age 21.Psychologist Shmuel Shulman of Bar­Ilan University in Israel, who did not participate in the work, thinks these conclusions convincingly reveal how relationship patterns “carry forward” into new friendships.
(　　)58. What will happen to the teenagers with pushy parents?
A. They lose social skills.
B. They have trouble presenting opinions.
C. They express themselves in an aggressive way.
D. They fail to inspire a difference of opinion.
(　　)59. What does the underlined word “domineering” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Alternative. B. Conservative. C. Powerful. D. Forceful.
(　　)60. It can be inferred from the findings that parents should ________．
A. communicate with children when setting rules
B. learn new ways to establish new friendships
C. seek more controlling s
