问题    It is reported that alcohol abuse on college campuses is on the rise. But alcohol abuse is only one symptom of a larger campus crisis. There is a growth in racism, sexism, assault, attempted suicide, theft, property damage and most disappointing of all, cheating on exams.
   A generation has come to college quite fragile, not very secure about who it is, fearful of its lack of identity and without confidence in its future. Many students are ashamed of themselves and afraid of relationships.
   It is happening because the generation now entering college has experienced few authentic connections with adults in its lifetime. I call this the "Culture of Neglect", and we—parents, teachers, professors and administrators—are the primary architects.
   It begins at home, where social and economic factors result in less family time for adults. Most children and teenagers are being reared without mothers’ being around, with television as their only supervisor, and there is little expectation that they learn personal responsibility. Immersed in themselves, they are left to their peers.
   We have failed to model a culture of responsibility. We have created a culture characterized by marriage failures, mass schooling that demands only minimal effort and media idols subliminally (下意识的)teaching disrespect for authority and wisdom. When the children do wrong, it is not their fault. On the contrary, it’s our fault. It seems that the children are always owned something by the busy parents and by the overworked teachers. The children take it for granted that we should take responsibility for their acts. How could college students reared in the culture of neglect have any notion of obligation and responsibility?
   A nation of individuals who can’t read or write well, with no sense of major human questions, who can’t think critically or show interest in learning and who are unable to act responsibility will be ill equipped to compete in any new world order. A generation of neglect will shape our future. Let’s wait and see.
The main reasons that can account for the "culture of neglect" are the following EXCEPT ______ .

选项 A、social and economic factors result in less family time for adults
B、women do not quit their jobs and take care of their children as they used to do
C、there are so many disrupted families
D、media idols intentionally disrespect authority and wisdom

答案D

解析 问题是:导致“忽略的文化”的主要原因不包括哪一个?A项意为“社会因素和经济因素导致了成年人在家的时间的减少”。B项意为“妇女不再像过去一样,辞掉工作照看孩子”,参考第四段第二句话“社会因素和经济因素导致了成年人在家的时间的减少。大多数孩子和青少年都不是在妈妈的陪伴下长大的”。C项意为“有许多不健全的家庭”,参看文章第五段“我们创造了这样的文化,它的特征是:失败的婚姻、对学生努力要求不够的普通学校教育”。“媒体捧出来的偶像在潜意识里让孩子学会不尊重权威和智慧”虽然也是现代文化现象之一,但与前三项不同,它并不是造成culture of neglect的原因,而是其结果:没人关爱孩子,他们就只有看电视并受到不良影响。
