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.
Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
选项
A、Making Modern Toughness
B、Admitting Emotional Fragility
C、Setting Clear Goals in Life
D、Avoiding Overprotective Parenting
答案
A
解析
主旨题。文章指出了现在的孩子情感脆弱的表现:父母对他们的过度呵护和其难以找到自己的目标。作者在文章后两段提出了让孩子摆脱情感脆弱的方法,从而变得强硬和坚毅。因此A项“培养现代人的坚毅品性”符合文意。B项“承认情感脆弱”、C项“在生活中树立明确的目标”和D项“避免父母的过度保护”均是对文章内容的部分概括,较为片面,故本题选A。
