问题     How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
    When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

选项 A、life for a child is comparatively easy
B、a child is always loved whatever he does
C、if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D、only children are interested in life

答案A

解析 本题考查的是对文章细节的理解。答案依据第二段:Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult."童年是一个不需要承担使生活变得艰难的责任的时期"。可以推断A"童年的生活相对简单"与之相符。而B项"孩子总是喜欢他做的一切"文章没有提到。C项"如果给予孩子的多,他就必须给予回报"与It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return不符,是错误的。D项"只有孩子对生活有兴趣"本身就是错误的说法。
