About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant inNew York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’ t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. " Frankly, I’ ve been feeling a little depressed lately. "
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’ t find out we were "depressed" until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’ t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists, Why?
Human development is based not only on innate(天生的)biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social rote to another usually involves learning the’secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television, Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
What does the author think of the change in today’ s children?
选项
A、He feels amused by chair premature behavior.
B、He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.
C、He considers it a positive development.
D、He seems to be upset about it.
答案
D
解析
本题考查对全篇材料的理解。第二段中As far as I can remember,my friendsand I didn’t find out we were“depressed”untilwe were in high school,这里把自己和现在的小孩进行对比,暗含现在的小孩不应该这么小就感到“depressed”的意思,应该说对孩子们身上的变化是持否定态度的。最后一段最后一句话Children must read simple books before theycan read complex materials,这里使用了must这样带有强烈肯定色彩的词,可见作者的态度是对孩子们身上发生的变化持有明显的否定态度,说他为这种现象感到忧虑也不为过。四个选项中D表达了作者的这种态度。
