Many hands have been wrung about the plight of over-extended kids. In their attempts to become well-rounded as individuals and well liked by college admissions officers, youngsters from grammar school to high school barely have time for play, let alone relaxation. But between homework and music lessons, soccer practice and SAT prep, some parents and their kids are scheduling a new set of appointments. These commitments, however, are less likely to be monitored by coaches and instructors than by the aestheticians and nutritionists at the growing number of day spas and resorts that cater to young people. " Kids are under such stress now at school with life the way it is," says Maria Rohwer of Highland, N. Y. " Spas cost a lot of money, but for a special treat for a birthday, or if you’re in pain, why not?"
Of course, indeed. Formerly the domain of overstressed or over-pampered adults, spas have begun aggressively luring the under-18 set. Offering specially designed massages, facials and glitter manicures for teens, they are hoping to cash in on adolescents’ disposable income and limitless ability to care about their appearance. "So much of the media is filled with beautiful girls who have beautiful skin," says Breanna Ellis, 15, who gets a facial at the Belle Visage Day Spa in Studio City, Calif. , every six weeks. "Young girls like myself are pressured to be beautiful in society or we don’t feel like we belong. "
As is the case at most spas, the majority of teens who visit Belle Visage are the daughters and sons of longtime clients. Some moms even throw spa parties at which their daughters and friends can spend an afternoon getting manicures and makeup instruction.
Not everyone is heralding this era. " Teens could do a lot better by quitting the fast food and chocolate ," says Caren Penland, 23, who visited her first spa in Arlington, Texas, last year. " I think it’s teaching them that instead of taking care of yourself, you can have someone do it for you. "
Many spas argue that they are trying to teach youngsters how to care for themselves. Says Elaine Sauer, who helped develop a Just for Teens package for the chain of Mario Tricoci spas in the Midwest, " We came up with a very useful facial. We really take the time to educate them about their skin. "
The Julian Krinsky Canyon Ranch Teen Summer Program takes its educational mission seriously. Staff members say the camp, located at Bryn Mawr College, is intended to help teenagers learn how to live healthy life, and so stress-breaking classes like Cardio Kickboxing and Pilates are offered, along with nutritional advice that’s given in a Hands-On Cooking course.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.
选项
A、students are preferred by the aestheticians and nutritionists
B、there is keen competition among students for acceptance by top universities
C、many parents welcome day spas and think it worth spending money on them
D、students get a treatment of day spas for birthday present given by their parents
答案
B
解析
推理题。第一段提到,许多人对于孩子的负担过重问题感到束手无策,从小学到中学,这些孩子一直都在努力使自己成为一名全面发展的、受到大学招生人员青睐的学生,他们几乎没有时间去玩,更不用说休闲了。由此可知:学生为了能进好大学,从小学就开始展开竞争。B符合题意,为正确选项A,D和C都属于视觉干扰,都误解了第一段最后两句话的意思。
