Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchroom. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than the people of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.
Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life -- to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?
Since the late 1950’s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gains. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.
Some of the young men in France criticize the new way of life because ______.
选项
A、they themselves are not competent enough to adapt to the competitive society
B、they are more conservative
C、they fear the consequences of the new way of life
D、they have no material pursuit
答案
C
解析
本题为事实判断题。第三段第三句“They are concerned with the future,and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive culture”,是法国年轻人批评新的生活方式的原因。这些年轻学生关注未来,并且害怕法国正受到这种竞争文化渐占上风的威胁,也即他们对这种文化的后果表示担忧,因此C为正确答案。
