When I ask experienced college teachers and administrators to describe how college students have changed over the years, I often get an answer like this, "Today’s students are more accomplished than past generations, but they are also more emotionally fragile."
That rings true to me. Today’ s students are amazing, but they bathe one another in oceans of affirmation and praise, as if supporting one another against some insecurity. Whatever one thinks of the campus protests, the desire for trigger warnings and safe spaces does seem to originate from a place of emotional fragility.
And if you hang around the middle aged, you hear a common story line to explain the rise of the orchid generation. Once upon a time, the story line goes, kids were raised in a tough environment. They had to do hard manual chores around the house and they got in fights on the playground. Then they went off to do grueling work in the factory or they learned toughness and grit in the military.
But today, helicopter parents protect their children from setbacks and hardship. They supervise every playground conflict, so kids never learn to handle disputes or deal with pain.
Emotional fragility is not only caused by overprotective parenting. It’ s also caused by anything that makes it harder for people to find their goals. We are all fragile when we don’ t know what our purpose is, when we haven’t thrown ourselves with abandon into a social role, when we haven’t committed ourselves to certain people, when we feel like a swimmer in an ocean with no edge.
If you really want people to be tough, make them idealistic for some cause, make them tender for some other person, make them committed to some worldview that puts today’ s temporary pain in the context of a larger hope.
Emotional fragility seems like a psychological problem, but it has only a philosophical answer. People are really tough only after they have taken a leap of faith for some truth or mission or love. Once they’ve done that they can withstand a lot.
The following aspects are all the symptoms of today’ s students on fragility EXCEPT that they________.
选项
A、live by complimenting each other
B、may launch a campaign in university to express their anger
C、support the belief of each other
D、yearn for safety in face of protest
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第二段。A项意为“他们靠相互恭维来生存”,compliment是对文中第二段第二句they bathe one another in oceans of affirmation and praise的同义转换,故A项正确。B项意为“他们可能在大学发起运动以表达自己的不满”,其中launch a campaign是对文中protest的同义替换,express their anger同义替换trigger warning,故B项正确。D项意为“在面对抗议时,他们渴望安全”,其中yearn for safety是desire for safe spaces的同义替换,故D项正确。C项意为“他们支持彼此的信仰”在原文找不到相关信息。故本题选C。
