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.
After a child grows up, he______.
选项 A、will have little time playing
B、has to be successful in finding a job
C、can still ask for help in time of trouble
D、should be able to take care of himself
答案D
解析 小孩长大后，他就会——。A．没什么时间玩了；B．必须成功地找到一份工作；C．有麻烦的时候仍然可以要求帮助；D．必须能自己照顾自己.第三段第一句指出“当年轻人开始自己谋生，他就不能再指望别人供给他食物、衣服和住房，而不得不参加工作，如果他想过得舒适的话。”由此推断小孩长大后不能再指望别人而必须靠自己，所以选D。
