问题     Certainly few people today endorse the blank slate in so many words,
and I suspect that even fewer believe it in their heart of hearts. But many
people still tacitly assume that nurture is everything when they write opin
ion pieces, conduct research, and translate the research into policy. Most
parenting advice, for example, is inspired by studies that find a correlation for (1)______
parents and children. Loving parents have more confident children, authorita- (2)______
tive parents (neither too permissive nor too punitive) have well-behaved
children, parents who talk to their children have children at better language (3)
skills, and so on. Everyone concludes that to rear best children, parents must (4)______
be loving, authoritative, and talkative, and if children don’t turn in well, it (5)______
must be the parents’ fault. But there is a basic problem with this reason, and (6)______
it comes from the tacit assumption that children are blank slates. Parents,
remember, provide for their children with genes, not just a home environ- (7)______
ment. The correlations between parents and children may be telling us only
that the same genes that make adults loving, authoritative, and talkative
make their children self-confident, well behaved, and articulate. Until the
studies are redone with adopted children (who get only their environment,
not their genes, from their parents), the data are compatible among the pos- (8)______
sibility that genes make all the difference, the possibility that parenting
makes all the difference, or anything from between. Yet in almost every (9)______
instance, the most extreme position—where parents are everything—is the (10)______
only one researchers entertain.
(10)
选项
答案where — that
解析 本句中的position是抽象名词，意思是“观点，态度”，其后的从句是同位语，说明观点的具体内容，所以应该由that引导，而不是引导关系分句的where。
