How often one hears children wishing they were grown up and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、People are often satisfied with their life.
B、Life is less interesting for old people.
C、Adults are free to do what they want to do.
D、Adults should no longer rely on others.
答案
A
解析
本题可以通过排除法找到答案。由对上题的理解可知,选项D是文章中陈述的内容,应首先排除;文中第二段第四句说:“……对于年龄大一些的人来说,这些东西已经失去了兴趣,因为他们对此太熟悉了。”选项B的内容文中已涉及,故可排除;文中第三段最后一句说:“然而,如果他工作努力,避免麻烦且有好的身体,那么他就能够在社会中靠着自己的力量为自己建立起幸福美满的根基。”由此我们可以看出,青年人是自由的、完全可以按照自己的意愿生活。因为选项C的内容符合文章内容,可排除。唯有选项A“人们通常对他们的生活很满意”,文中没有提及。
