Children are a relatively modern invention
. Until a few hundred years ago they look like adult, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.
Children today not only exist; they have taken over in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal.
In Kids Country we do not permit middle-aged.
Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy situation has come to abort at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In
the Old Country
, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids Country is not at all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids Country. We not only wear kids clothes and eat kids food; we dream kids dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boys’ game to go to the moon.
If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity. [br] Going to the moon is an example of______.
选项
A、America’s dreams and creativity
B、America’s childish and queer behavior
C、why America hasn’t grown up
D、why America is considered as the greatest country in the world
答案
A
解析
推断题型见第四段:孩子的王国一点也不是坏事。美国是世界上最伟大的助孩子成长的国家,因为它是“孩子的王国”。人们不仅穿着孩子的衣服,吃着孩子的食物,做着孩子的梦并使这些梦想成真。毕竟,走向月球是一个孩子们的游戏。由此可推断出孩子们的梦想成真即是他们充分发挥想象力,并运用他们的创造力来实现它们的;因此答案为A。
