Bridging the Generation Gap
America is getting older. In the span of a generation, the average age of U. S. citizens will increase from 32.9 years (1990) to 37.1 years (2020). Thus, it becomes increasingly important for this country’s youth to develop a relationship with our elderly population.
Jerrold Berkson, a teacher-counselor at Richard S. Sherman North Middle School in Great Neck, New York developed a program to achieve this goal. The program began in the late 1970’s. Students were writing their autobiographies as part of an interdisciplinary section on immigration and assimilation. Berkson invited senior citizens into his school to assist the students. The seniors came from many ethnic and racial backgrounds and many of the seniors had emigrated to America in their youth. Through the presentations and discussions, the students learned about overcoming adversity and achieving happiness and fulfillment.
What is the purpose of the program started by Jerrold Berkson?
选项
A、To help the students to write their autobiographies.
B、To overcome adversity and achieve happiness and fulfillment.
C、To develop a relationship with our elderly and young population.
D、To start an interdisciplinary section on immigration and assimilation.
答案
C
解析
根据提问,短文的第一段结尾处指出:it becomes increasingly important for this country’s youth to develop a relationship with our elderly population。然后,第二段里Jerrold Berkson... developed a program to achieve this goal。而其他选项看似正确,但是,都是这个目标的一些部分。最后一段早,作者还指出这个计划不仅仅给学生带来了好处。
