Many parents who welcome the idea of tinning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow. When there’s nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully that their kids seem unable to come up with any thing to do besides turning on the TV.
One father, for example, says, "When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to de, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, ’I have nothing to do!’ He compares this with his own children today: "They’re simply lazy. If someone doesn’t entertain them, they’ll happily sit there watching TV all day."
There is one word for this father’s disappointment: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not wading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores (哀叹) his children’s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play, to imagine, to invent, to elaborate on reality in a playful way, and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.
Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust. It is also destructive. Sensing their parents’ disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.
The father often blames his children for not being able to entertain themselves. This is unfair because they______.
选项
答案
have to learn and develop these abilities(不得不学习或培养这些能力)
解析
在第三段末尾句可知道:父亲经常责备孩子不能自娱自乐,这是不公平的,因为玩耍、想像等方面的能力还是学习而来的,或是培养出来的。
