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.
Students walking from biology class to the gym can easily fill a few minutes with a call to Mom’s office to whine(抱怨)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.
Experts said the change dates to 9 - 11 , 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.
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.
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.
In the eyes of Turklea, which of the following is missing in the growth of young adults these days?
选项
A、Parents’guidance.
B、Separation from parents.
C、Communication with parents.
D、Social activities with peers.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词Turklea定位至第四段。由本段最后一句可知,特克莉亚认为亲子关系的变化意味着现如今年轻人的青春期不再包括离开父母,而我们之前曾把它看作是青春期的一部分,故[B]为正确答案。根据第三段第二句可知,大学费用的不断上涨也使父母愈发不情愿让孩子通过犯错误而成熟起来,因此父母更愿意给孩子各方面的指导,故排除[A];根据第五段第三句可知,如今,大学生的父母都被建议多与子女进行沟通,故排除[C];[D]的内容在文中并未提及,故排除。
