问题    Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural (文化的) difference, not an economic (经济的) one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate (分开的) bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
   The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house have nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
   Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
Which of tile following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birth.
B、Economic situation decides one’s amount of space needs.
C、People in various countries demand different psychological space.
D、Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your futur
答案C
解析 选项A中的形容词“large”不确切，根据文章内容，应改成“separate”或“own”。选项B是错误的，因为在第一段中作者明确提出“the amount of space...is not an economic one(difference)”。选项D的后半句是错误的，应改成“…as they affect your choices…”。根据排除法和文章内容可以判断出C是正确答案。
