问题     A single status may have multiple roles attached to it, constituting a role set. Consider the status of a patient in a hospital. The status involves the sick role; another role as the peer of other patients; still another role as the "appreciative" receiver of the gifts and attention of friends and family members; one role as a consumer of newspapers, magazines, and other small items purchased from a hospital attendant; and a role as acquaintance of a number of friendly hospital personnel. Or consider your status as a family member. Your status includes a variety of roles, for example, parent and child, uncle, spouse, and cousin. Clearly, a role does not exist in a social vacuum; it is a bundle of activities that are connected with the activities of other people. For this reason there can be no professors without students, no husbands without wives, no whites without nonwhites, and no lawyers without clients.
    Roles affect us as sets of norms that define our duties the actions others can legitimately insist that we perform, and our right the actions we can legitimately insist that others perform. Every role has at least one reciprocal role attached to it; the rights of one role are the duties of the other role. As we have noted, we have a social niche for the sick. Sick people have rights our society says they do not have to function in usual ways until they get well. But sick people also have the duty to get well and "not enjoy themselves too much." The sick role also entails an appeal to another party the physician. The physician must perceive the patient as trying to get well this is the physician’s right and the patient’s duty. And the patient must see the doctor as sincere the patient’s right and the physician’s duty. It should come as no surprise that the quality of medical care falters when patient and physician role expectations break down.
    One way that people are linked in groups is through networks of reciprocal roles. Role relationships tie us to one another because the rights of one end of the relationship are the duties of the other. People experience these stable relationships as social structure a hospital, a college, a family, a gang, an army, and soon. [br] The example of the family member in Paragraph one is used to convey the idea that ____.
选项 A、roles involve both duties and rights corresponding to them
B、a role set forms a network of interdependencies
C、family roles are far more complex than they appear
D、family members have more duties than patients
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。本文旨在说明角色关系将社会中的成员联系在一起，每个身份都有多种角色与之相对应，构成一个角色集(见第一段第一句)。为了说明这一点，第一段举了病人和家庭成员这两个身份作例子。本段的最后两句总结了该段的讨论{角色不是存在于“社会真空”(social vacuum)里，而是存在于同其他角色的联系中。从这个意义上来讲，没有学生、妻子、其他种族和委托人，便无所谓教授、丈夫、自人和律师。可见，这一例子旨在说明的是B，而A是第二段旨在说明的理。
