问题     How often does one hear children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again? Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
    When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. [br] Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项 A、People are often satisfied with their life.
B、Life is less interesting for old people.
C、Adults are freer to do what they want to do.
D、Adults should no longer rely on others.
答案 A
解析 根据短文，下列哪一个陈述是不正确的?A．人们通常对自已的生活感到满意；B．对年长的人来说生活乐趣更少；C．成年人可以更自由地去做想做的事；D. 成年人不能再依靠别人。第一段总述全文，其中第二句“每个年龄都有每个年龄的快乐与痛苦，最幸福的人就是在每个年龄都对自己的所得感到知足而不是浪费时间在无用的懊恼中。”可见每个年龄都有每个年龄的烦恼，从而推断出人们总是不满于自己的生活，所以A不正确。
