问题     I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
    Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
    Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.
    At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
    To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
    Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
    Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
    Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life. (314 words)
According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago______.
选项 A、were less isolated physically
B、were probably less self-centered
C、probably suffered less from anxiety
D、were considered less individualistic
答案C
解析 本题属于细节推断题。题干意思是：根据分析，比起现在正常的孩子，50年前被当做精神疾患治疗的孩子可能：A“有较少的身体孤独感”；B“可能不那么以自我为中心”；C“可能遭受较少的焦虑”；D“个人主义色彩略少一些”。文中第一段最后一句“normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mentalillness 50 years ago”表明当今正常儿童比50年前患精神疾病的儿童更焦虑。因此应该选C。
