问题 Empty Nest Syndrome

选项

答案                         Empty Nest Syndrome
    While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, / loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. / Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. / This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome".
    In order to seek better chances outside their countries, / many young people have gone abroad, / leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. / Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, / in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. / The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies / makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty / as they would have if they had not left their countries. / This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response/ in time for their aged parents living by themselves.

解析 本文讲述了“空巢综合症”这一社会现象。首先,考生要注意一些派生词,例如“loneliness”, “geographical”, “countless”, “Europeanized”,“Americanized”等。如果掌握了前后缀知识,这些单词就很容易写对了。其次,短文的句子较长,所以考生听写时要注意方法。初听时要尽量听懂全文的大意。记录句子时,要注意理清句子的结构,抓住句型和关键词(主语和谓语)。
