Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it’s always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. Events that the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. Every generation is different from the older one and today the difference is very marked indeed.
The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their self satisfaction. They take leave to doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all men should wear gray suits and convict haircuts? If we turn our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional polities or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they unhappy and guilt ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?
These are not questions the old generation can shrug of lightly. Traditionally, the young have turned to their eiders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not "sinful." It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and your leisure. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete destruction. [br] The author put forward suggestions to the old people except ______.
选项
A、they should enjoy life as possible as they can
B、they should learn something from their children
C、they should be more strict with young generation
D、they should take young people’s questions into serious consideration
答案
C
解析
细节定位题。A:他们应该尽可能的享受生活;B:他们应该从年轻人那学些东西;C:应该更严格地要求年轻一代;D:老年人应该严肃考虑年轻人的问题;文中均有提到。本题的解题方式很简单,就是根据自己读完全文的记忆来回答,如果有些细节记不清楚的话就到原文把原句找出来看4个选项哪个在文中找不到出处即可。最后1段第4,5,6句是:One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not“sinful.” It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and your leisure. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. 意思是;最应该学习的一点是,享乐并非有罪,生活在当下,而不要活在过去或未来,无可非议。所以,A的陈述是对的。B当然是对的了,也在最后一段提到。D其实意思和B差不多,正确。从而得出,只有C在原文没有明确提出。
