It is reported that alcohol abuse on college campuses is on the rise. But alcohol abuse is only one symptom of a larger campus crisis. There is a growth in racism, sexism, assault, attempted suicide, theft, property damage and most disappointing of all, cheating on exams.
A generation has come to college quite fragile, not very secure about who it is, fearful of its lack of identity and without confidence in its future. Many students are ashamed of themselves and afraid of relationships.
It is happening because the generation now entering college has experienced few authentic connections with adults in its lifetime. I call this the "Culture of Neglect", and we—parents, teachers, professors and administrators—are the primary architects.
It begins at home, where social and economic factors result in less family time for adults. Most children and teenagers are being reared without mothers’ being around, with television as their only supervisor, and there is little expectation that they learn personal responsibility. Immersed in themselves, they are left to their peers.
We have failed to model a culture of responsibility. We have created a culture characterized by marriage failures, mass schooling that demands only minimal effort and media idols subliminally (下意识的)teaching disrespect for authority and wisdom. When the children do wrong, it is not their fault. On the contrary, it’s our fault. It seems that the children are always owned something by the busy parents and by the overworked teachers. The children take it for granted that we should take responsibility for their acts. How could college students reared in the culture of neglect have any notion of obligation and responsibility?
A nation of individuals who can’t read or write well, with no sense of major human questions, who can’t think critically or show interest in learning and who are unable to act responsibility will be ill equipped to compete in any new world order. A generation of neglect will shape our future. Let’s wait and see.
The tone of the passage is ______ .
选项
A、optimistic
B、pessimistic
C、cheerful
D、indifferent
答案
B
解析
本篇文章作者的语气是悲观的。文章的最后一段:一个国家的国民不善读写,对人类重大的问题毫无见解,不会尖锐地思考,对学术毫无兴趣,不能够承担起责任,这样的国民无力在任何世界新秩序中立足。被忽略的一代将会塑造我们的未来,让我们等着瞧吧!从中看出作者是无助的、失望的。通篇文章都没有提出任何解决办法,只是揭示了大学校园混乱不堪的家庭和社会原因。A、C两项的意思与文章相反。而D项的意思为“漠然,漠不关心的”,本文作者大声疾呼要正视社会弊端,怎么可能漠不关心呢,而文章最后一句话“我们等着瞧吧”,也是出于无法找到解决办法的激愤之语。
