The way in which people use social space reflects their social relationships and their ethnic identity. Early immigrants to America from Europe brought with them a collective style of living, which they retained until late in the 18th century. Historical records document a group-oriented existence, in which one room was used for eating, entertaining guests, and sleeping. People ate soups from a communal pot, shared drinking cups, and used a common pit toilet. With the development of ideas about individualism, people soon began to shift to the use of individual cups and plates, the eating of meals that included meat, bread, and vegetables served on separate plates, and the use of private toilets. They began to build their houses with separate rooms to entertain guests — living rooms, separate bedrooms for sleeping, separate work areas — kitchen, laundry room, and separate bathrooms.
In Mexico, the meaning and organization of domestic space is strikingly different. Houses are organized around a patio, or courtyard. Rooms open onto the patio, where all kinds of domestic activities take place. Individuals do not have separate bedrooms. Children often sleep with parents, and brothers or sisters share a bed, emphasizing familial interdependence. Rooms in Mexican houses are locations for multiple activities that, in contrast, are rigidly separated in the United States.
Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
选项
A、The concepts of domestic space.
B、Social relationships.
C、The functions of rooms.
D、The layout of houses.
答案
B
解析
主旨大意题。文章提到了A室内居家功能划分概念(第一段),C房间的功能(第二段)以及D房屋布局(第二段),但没有提及居住人的社会关系。故B为答案。
