(1) It was not so long ago that parents drove a teenager to college campus, said a tearful goodbye and returned home to wait a week or so for a phone call from the dorm. Mom or Dad, in turn, might write letters—yes, with pens. But going to college these days means never having to say goodbye, thanks to near-saturation of cellphones, e-mails, instant messaging, texting, Facebook and Skype. Researchers are looking at how new technology may be delaying the point at which college-bound students truly become independent from their parents, and how phenomena such as the introduction of unlimited calling plans have changed the nature of parent-child relationships, and not always for the better.
(2) Students walking from biology class to the gym can easily fill a few minutes with a call to Mom’s office to whine ($&£§) about a professor’s lecture. Dad can pass along family news via e-mail. Daily text messaging is not uncommon. Some research suggests that today’s young adults are closer to their parents than their predecessors. Professors have figured out that some kids are e-mailing papers home for parents to edit. And Skype and Facebook might be more than just chances to see a face that’s missed at home; parents can peer into their little darling’s messy dorm room or his messy social life.
(3) Experts said the change dates to a terrorist attack, which upped parents’ anxiety over being out of touch with their children. And the rising cost of college can threaten parents’ willingness to let children make mistakes as they learn how to be adults. Many of today’s college students have had so much of their schedule programmed, so they may not know what to do with time and solitude, said Barbara Hofer, a Middlebury College psychology professor.
(4) Researchers are looking at these changing relationships, formed in the last few years after parents got smartphones and Facebook accounts too and learned how to use them. "There’s a tremendous diversity in how kids handle this. Some maintain old rules. But for many, many young people, they grow up essentially with the idea that they don’t have to separate from their parents, " said Turklea, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose specialty is technology and relationship. "It’s about having an adolescence that doesn’t include the kind of separation that we used to consider part of adolescence, " she added.
(5) Hofer and colleagues surveyed students at Middlebury in Vermont and at the University of Michigan, two schools different in many ways. But at both, parents and students were in contact frequently, an average of more than 13 times a week. The parents of today’s college students were advised to get involved in the children’s lives to communicate, communicate, and communicate. All that talk can signal a close, useful relationship, but it also can leave kids lacking what they need to fend for themselves. (本文选自 Reader’s Digest) [br] According to the passage, the change of parent-children relationships has little to do with________.
选项
A、children’s strong desire to be independent
B、easy access and low costs of communication
C、the rising cost of higher education
D、parents’ anxiety derived from a terrorist attack
答案
A
解析
推断题。由原文第四段第四句可知,现在很多年轻人在成长中基本的想法是“孩子不必离开父母”,因此目前这种亲子关系的变化与“孩子想要独立的强烈愿望”没有什么关系,故A为正确答案。根据第一段最后一句可知,无限制通话计划等活动的推出将改变亲子关系的性质,故排除B;根据第三段前两句可知,亲子关系的变化与恐怖袭击事件后父母产生的焦虑感以及不断上涨的大学费用有关,故排除C和D。
