75.High School English Reading Listening

Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference,not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices,including,for example,the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms,the chances are,if you have two children or more,that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America,for example,they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries,the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to bed alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons,they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible,however,to completely change your psychological space needs.
译文：
世界上不是每个人都需要相同数量的生活空间。一个人对周围空间的需求量是一种文化差异，而不是一种经济差异。了解自己的心理空间需求是很重要的，因为它们会强烈影响你的选择，包括，例如，家里的卧室数量。如果你是在一个两个孩子的家庭中长大的，你和你的姐妹或兄弟都有自己的卧室，那么，如果你有两个或更多的孩子，你也会为他们提供单独的卧室。例如，在美国，他们在人们还是婴儿的时候就给他们自己的房间，以此来训练他们想要有自己的房间。这在世界上是非常罕见的。在许多其他国家，婴儿与父母睡在同一张床上，或睡在他们附近。
家里的空间也显示了很多心理空间的需求。有些家庭彼此聚集得比较近，房子的大小与此无关。其他人则有独立的小角落，家庭成员在那里单独睡觉。
尽管心理空间需求确实不是由经济原因决定的，但由于经济压力，它们有时不得不做一些改变。然而，要完全改变你的心理空间需求几乎是不可能的。
