In the past fifty years, American society has changed a great deal. Fifty years ago, most Americans lived in small communities. They rarely moved from one area to another and knew their neighbors at least by name if not by close, personal relations. Life was so personal in those days that people often joked about it.
They said that a person could not even stay home from church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it.
It was difficult to keep one’s secret in a small community like that, but there was usually a sense of safety, of belonging, and of community togetherness in such places. Except for church and the local movie theater, there was not much entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the exciting life of the big cities, but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same community.
Few people experience this type of lifelong relationship or sense of community togetherness now. The American society is much more unsettled now; people often move from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, and coast to coast. It is rare to find people who have lived all their lives in one community. Because people move so frequently, they do not have a chance to get to know their neighbors. Perhaps this is also why Americans tend to have a more casual attitude about friendships than people from some other cultures; Americans are accustomed to leaving friends and making new friends. In such an impersonal society, people have lost the habit of saying hello to people they pass on the streets or in the hallways of their apartment buildings.
It can be learned from the passage that ______.
选项
A、country life is peaceful but dull
B、people living in big cities are easy to get excited
C、few Americans go to church on Sundays now
D、Americans tend to be rough and impolite today
答案
A
解析
本题为综合推理题。本文实际上是将美国的乡村生活和城市生活进行对比,第一段讲述的是美国的乡村生活,第二段讲述的是美国的城市生活。在第一段中提到“… there was usually a sense of safety, of belonging, and of community togetherness in such places. Except for church and the local movie theater, there was not much entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the exciting life of the big cities…”(……通常在这些地方有安全感、归属感和集体感。除了去教堂和当地影院,没有什么娱乐。有些人想移居大城市去过令人兴奋的生活……)由此可以看出,乡村生活相对平静而有些单调的。
