Singletons, referring to those who live alone, are being comforted by well-meaning friends and family and told that not having a partner is not the end of the world. So, it would seem that they can say, yes, it is not. But no, in fact, it is the end.
A gloomy study that has just been released says that the international trend towards living alone is putting an unprecedented strain on our ecosystem.
For a number of reasons--relationship breakdown, career choice, longer life spans, smaller families--the number of individual households is growing. And this is putting intolerable pressure on natural resources, and accelerating the extinction of endangered plant and animal species. And there is worse news. Running a refrigerator, television, cooker, plumbing system just for selfish little you is a disastrous waste of resources on our over-populated planet. "The efficiency of resource consumption" is a lot higher in households of two people or more, simply because they share everything. Well imagine that. Just when you thought living alone was OK, you would find that all the time you were the enemy of mankind. Every time you put the kettle on the stove for a cup of coffee you were destroying Mother Earth. Indeed, it is not just your mother who is a bit worried by your continuing single status--you are letting down the entire human race by not having a boyfriend or girlfriend. The trouble is that society has a group instinct and people panic and hit out when they see other people quietly rebelling and straying away from the "standard" of family and coupledom.
The suggestion is that singledom should be at best a temporary state. Unless you are assimilated into a larger unit, you can never be fully functional.
Try "communal living. " There are all these illustrations of young attractive people having a "great time" laughingly bumping into each other. It looks like an episode of the TV series Friends.
And the message is clear: Togetherness is good, solitude is bad, and being single on your own is not allowed. [br] Well-meaning friends and family members often tell those who live alone that ______.
选项
A、they should end their singledom as soon as possible
B、they should live together with other singletons
C、singledom is an acceptable life-style
D、singledom can shorten one’s life-span
答案
C
解析
第一段第一句Singletons, …is not the end of the world:好心的朋友和家人都在安慰独居的人,并跟他们说没有人做伴,天也不会塌下来的。即独身是可以接受的。故选项C正确。
