Children are a relatively modern invention
. Until a few hundred years ago they look like adult, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.
Children today not only exist; they have taken over in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal.
In Kids Country we do not permit middle-aged.
Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy situation has come to abort at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In
the Old Country
, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids Country is not at all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids Country. We not only wear kids clothes and eat kids food; we dream kids dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boys’ game to go to the moon.
If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity.
By saying "condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity" , the author means that______.
选项
A、she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitness
B、she feels too old and tired to do such hard exercise
C、American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearance
D、what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon
答案
D
解析
语义题型见第五段If in the old days children did not exist,it seems equally true today that adults,as a class,have begun to disappear,condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever,jogging and doing push—ups against eternity.(如果说过去孩子们不存在,那么如今是成人作为一个阶层也开始消失;宣告我们仍将永远只是男孩、女孩,做着慢跑、俯卧撑来应对未来);因此本题表达的是:过去孩子们不存在(因为他们的一切都和成人一样),现在成人作为一个阶层也将消失;D为答案。
