问题 According to the first paragraph, the grandfather resented
The author mentions his family story in paragraph 4 to show that
选项 A、thrifty habits are necessary to make a living.
B、outside assistance is necessary for those in trouble.
C、the slackers got what they deserved in the past.
D、only the diligent people can live a decent life in hard times.
答案B
解析 本题问作者在第四段中提到自己家里的故事是为了表明什么。第四段"It has lots of problems，but I also know what life was like before safety nets"，承认前段说的社会保障确实会带来很多问题，作者又转而举出了在没有社会保障时他父亲童年时的生活境况：他父亲家还勉强过得去，但也负担不起他的学费；他们的邻居就更惨了。第五段中"Decades of safety-net culture have removed a lot of anxiety from our lives…"表明作者认为社会保障是有必要的。故"处于困境中的人需要外部的援助"正确。勤俭的习惯对于谋生是很有必要的：作者的这个故事中并没有体现出勤俭的必要性：在过去，懒汉得到了应有的下场：第四段中"one neighbor lived in a tent on a vacant lot and another was known for owning only one pair of overalls，which his wife laundered in a tub on the stove on Saturdays while be sat by，wrapped in a blanket"说明很多人在那时生活状况很苦，但并没有说他们是懒汉。只有勤劳的人才能在艰苦的时期过上好生活：这个故事里没有谈论勤劳与否。
