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 the passage, which one is NOT the reason why people feel fragile?
选项
A、They refuse to get involved into society.
B、They doubt the meaning of life.
C、They have psychological problems.
D、They make no promises to someone.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第五段。A项是对该段第三句we haven’t thrown ourselves with abandon into a social role的同义替换,其中,thrown…into与get involved into含义一致,均意为“卷入;投身于”。B项是对该段第三句when we don’t know what our-purpose is的同义替换。D项是对该段第三句we haven’t committed ourselves to certain people的同义替换。C项可定位到最后一段第一句Emotional fragility seems like a psychological problem(情感脆弱看上去似乎是一道心理题),C项偷换主语概念,表述错误。故本题选C。
