问题    Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history.
   The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. Who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?
   Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not ’sinful’. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.
According to the passage, what the old can learn from the young is that______.
选项 A、one has reason to enjoy life
B、conventional politics is going out the way
C、receiving better education is very important
D、happiness is the most important thing in life
答案A
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的倒数第二句“One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not‘sinful’．”这句话意思是“老一辈人能够从年轻人身上学到的一个最大的教训就是享受生活不是有罪的。”这里sinful表示“罪恶的，有罪的”，所以结合文章，A项符合题目要求，即“每一个人都有理由去享受人生，活在当下，而不要拘泥于传统的观点和思想。”B、C两项在文章中没有提及。最容易构成干扰的是D项，“快乐是生活中最重要的事情”，这属于过度推断，文章中没有提及这个意思，只是告诉我们每一个人都应该有理由去享受生活，而不是说快乐就是生活中最重要的。
