Thousands of gypsies have been trying to emigrate to Canada and Britain. They say they are fleeing persecution(迫害), but most have found they are not welcome in these countries either. Gypsies have never had a home.Europe has experienced enormous upheavals this century. Wars, revolutions, separations and elections have changed the political map of the continent countless times. And with each change, power has shifted, creating new winners and new losers.But for one group -- the gypsies -- change has always meant losing. With each upheaval, the gypsies have been left worse off than they were before. Yet they have survived to become Europe’s largest minority. Moreover, they have succeeded in preserving their culture and their way of life in the face of genocide (种族灭绝), political persecution and poverty.In other cases where minorities have survived similar persecutions -- like Jews during World War Ⅱ, or blacks in South Africa -- their cause has received international support. By contrast, the gypsies’ success at preserving their culture is not regarded as an achievement at all. Instead, it’ s viewed as proof they are both unwilling and unable to change, and therefore irredeemable (不可救药的). Indeed, in 1993, the president of the Slovak Republic attacked their way of life and said steps should be taken to limit the extension of this socially unacceptable and mentally backward population.If such a thing had been said about any other minority, the political protest would have been enormous But, bemuse the Slovak President was referring to gypsies, there were few complaints, except from a few small organizations who try to protect gypsies’ rights. According to the passage, the remark made by the Slovak President, if had been directed at （） Jews, would have aroused.

An Ohio State University study has linked behavior in young children with the type of job their mother has. Mothers with complex occupations that are self-directed and require working with other people tended to have offspring with relatively low levels of behavior problems. The opposite held true when the jobs were routine, closely supervised, and dealt with things, rather than people."A job that challenges and interests a mother and gives her an opportunity to exercise judgment and solve problems clearly has positive consequences for her children’s behavior," indicates associate professor of sociology Elizabeth Menaghan. Occupations with more positive conditions include management, sales, and teaching positions. Jobs that may be related to increased child behavior problems include book-keeping, food service, and assembly line positions.Women who are supervised closely at work and made to follow strict orders may be more likely to use this same style in raising their kids. They may emphasize obedience to parental authority and the potential for physical punishment. "We believe that the choice of such a parenting style may increase the frequency of behavior problems in children." On the other hand, mothers whose jobs are less controlled by supervisors and who must work closely with other people probably rely less on physical punishment, instead encouraging children to think about consequences of their actions and take responsibility for their behavior. Such an approach encourages youngsters to follow parental demands even when they aren’t being supervised because they have accepted parental values as their own. Moreover, mothers whose jobs don’t involve constant supervision "develop problem-solving skills that they can bring to other parts of their life".The research also found that those who have more challenging and interesting jobs provide better home environments for their children. The mothers give their offspring more intellectual stimulation and emotional support, and this, in turn, is linked to fewer behavior problems. What is the main idea of this passage ？（）
