When I ask experienced college teachers and administrators to describe how college students have changed over the years, I often get an answer like this, "Today’ s students are more accomplished than past generations, but they are also more emotionally fragile."
That rings true to me. Today’s students are amazing, but they bathe one another in oceans of affirmation and praise, as if supporting one another against some insecurity. Whatever one thinks of the campus protests, the desire for trigger warnings and safe spaces does seem to originate from a place of emotional fragility.
And if you hang around the middle aged, you hear a common story line to explain the rise of the orchid generation. Once upon a time, the story line goes, kids were raised in a tough environment. They had to do hard manual chores around the house and they got in fights on the playground. Then they went off to do grueling work in the factory or they learned toughness and grit in the military.
But today, helicopter parents protect their children from setbacks and hardship. They supervise every playground conflict, so kids never learn to handle disputes or deal with pain.
Emotional fragility is not only caused by overprotective parenting. It’ s also caused by anything that makes it harder for people to find their goals. We are all fragile when we don’t know what our purpose is, when we haven’t thrown ourselves with abandon into a social role, when we haven’t committed ourselves to certain people, when we feel like a swimmer in an ocean with no edge.
If you really want people to be tough, make them idealistic for some cause, make them tender for some other person, make them committed to some worldview that puts today’s temporary pain in the context of a larger hope.
Emotional fragility seems like a psychological problem, but it has only a philosophical answer. People are really tough only after they have taken a leap of faith for some truth or mission or love. Once they’ve done that they can withstand a lot.
According to Paragraph 3, "orchid generation"______.
选项
A、does much work at home
B、favors the military life
C、lives a good life physically
D、grows up under hostile circumstances
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第三段。分析第三段可知,“兰花一代”并非像之前孩子那样在严苛的环境里长大,他们不用在家里做繁重的体力劳动,也不用在部队里懂得什么叫强硬,由此可知A、D两项均错误。B项意为“兰花一代喜欢部队生活”,文章虽有提到military一词,但其并未提及“兰花一代”热爱部队生活,属无中生有,故B项错误,故本题选C。
