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 1950’s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 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 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 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.
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
细节题。根据第一段最后一句话“…normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.”可知,现在的孩子比过去更焦虑,反过来说就是过去的孩子要:less anxiety。这说明C正确。第二段第二句话说,现在的孩子是孤独的,但这只是现在孩子的状况,并没有和以前的孩子进行比较,无法推断以前孩子是不是不那么孤独,所以A不对;第四段第一句话提到了个人主义,但这也是目前的状况,与过去没有构成比较,所以B、D不对。
