Excessive Demands on Young People
Being able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages from eight to eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering(浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.
Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沉湎于) their own isolated world to interact with other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.
All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.
The response from the academic and business world was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.
While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more muttifask is expected of young people nowadays, in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way todays youth are able to cope despite the older generation throw at them.
What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?
选项
A、Critical.
B、Thankful.
C、Negative.
D、Supportive.
答案
D
解析
本题的难度在吃透原文,干扰项的难度倒不大。答案的依据是文章最后一段,Praise rather than criticism is due(应有的)是核心依据。最佳答案是D。
