I’ m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes; increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.
What does the author mean when he says, "we can’t turn the clock back" (Line 1, Para. 3)?
选项
A、It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B、The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C、Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D、It’s impossible to forget the past.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。A项只简单解释了“we can’t turn the clock back”的字面意思,没有说出此句在文章中的内涵,故应首先排除。B项中提到的当前孩子们所面临的这种心理压力越来越大的社会现实不可逆转的现象,与文章中所说事实“由于孩子与外界日益隔离,并且越来越感到社会险恶,他们心理压力很大”内容相符,故应选B项,C、D两项均与此句无关,故均应排除。
