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.
After a child grows up, he______.
选项 A、will have little time playing
B、has to be successful in finding a job
C、can still ask for help in time of trouble
D、should be able to take care of himself
答案D
解析 文中第三段第一句说：“当年轻人开始谋生时，他再也不能期望别人为他购买食物、衣服和房子了。如果他想过得舒服的话，他就不得不工作。”由此可以看出，当一个孩子长大后，他就应该能够照顾自己。
