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.
According to the first paragraph, compared with the past generations, today’s students are________.
选项
A、less talented
B、physically weak
C、more versatile yet less tough
D、more idealistic
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第一段后半部分Today’s students are more accomplished than past generations,but they are also more emotionality fragile,即现在的学生比前几代人更有成就。但是情感上也更脆弱。A项“现在的学生没有前几代人聪明”、B项“现在的学生身体虚弱”均不符合原文意思。D项“现在的学生更理想化”在文中找不到相关信息。C项意为“现在的学生比前几代人聪明,但是却没那么坚强”。很明显,more versatile是文中。more accomplished的同义替换,less tough是more emotionally fragile的同义替换。故本题选C。
