The Privileged Children

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

Dr. Robert Coles believes that________.
A:being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B:rich children often get too little entertainment
C:rich children sometimes can't enjoy the thing they are most in need of
D:rich children aren't given enough things

参考答案

参考解析
解析:从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担,从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游,但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误:文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误:第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀,却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处,但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过,只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法,并不真是指银子做的勺子,而是指财富,如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”,而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的,因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

考题 共用题干 As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and scientists,Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left side of the brain一 the part that controls language is larger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.One out of five American children suffers from dyslexia.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
