Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modem life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation age. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.
Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life4o joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cart?
Since the late 1950’s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, good- oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.
In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, convenience, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modem, industrial France is preferable to the old. [br] Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?
选项
A、Many of them prefer the modem life style.
B、They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.
C、They are more concerned with money than before.
D、They axe more competitive than the older generation.
答案
B
解析
细节理解题。本题形式为反选题。根据文章最后一段的第一句,我们知道,反对现代化生活的只是少数,努力奋斗的人很多,据此可以排除A 。根据第一段第一句可知,法国人更加看重钱,因此可以排除 C 。根据通篇内容,特别是第三段,我们可以证实D 项内容,因此也予以排除。剩下的B 项无法在文中找到出处或依据,因此,不符合原文意思,故为本题答案。
