Marianne Hardwick was timid and unadventurous, her vitality consumed by physical activity and longing, her intelligence by indecisiveness, but this had less to do with the innate characteristics of the weaker sex ( as her father, Creighton Montgomery, called it) than with the enfeebling circumstances of here upbringing. Creighton Montgomery had enough money to mould his daughters according to his misconceptions: girls were not meant to fend for themselves so he protected them from life. That means that Marianne Montgomery grew up without making any vital choices for herself. Prevented front acquiring the habits of freedom and strength of character that grow from decision-making, very rich girls, whose parents have the means to protect them in such a crippling fashion, are the last representatives of Victorian womanhood. Though they may have the boldest manners and most up-to-date ideas, they share their great grandmothers’ humble dependence.
Most parents these days have to rely on their force of personality and whatever love and respect they can inspire to exert any influence over their children at all, but there is still an awful lot of parental authority that big money can buy. Multi-millionaires have more of everything than ordinary mortals, including more parent power, and their sons and daughters have as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations as they could have had in the age of absolute monarchy①.
The rich still have families.
The great division between the generations, which is so much taken for granted that no one remarks on it any longer, is the plight of the lower and middle classes, whose children begin to drift away as soon as they axe old enough to go to school②. The parents cannot control the school, and have even less say to what company and ideas the child will be exposed to; nor can they isolate hint from the public mood, the spirit of the age. It is an often-heard complaint of the middle-class mother, for instance, that she must let her children watch television for hours on end everyday if she is to steal any time for herself. The rich have no such problems; they can keep their offspring busy from morning to night without being near them for a minute more than they choose to be, and can exercise almost total control over their environment. As for schooling, they can hand-pick tutors with sound views to come to the children, who may never leave the grounds their parents own, in town, in the country, by the sea, unless for an exceptionally secure boarding school or a well-chaperoned trip abroad, It would have been easier for little Marianne Montgomery to go to Cairo than to the nearest newsstand.
It can be inferred from the second paragraph that multi-millionaires’ children have ______.
选项
A、little opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations
B、more opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations
C、as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations as ordinary children
D、absolute opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。第二段第二句话指出千万富翁比普通人拥有更多,其中也包括拥有更多的父母权利。子女们能按照自己的意向发展的机会就跟他们处在君主专制时代一样。可以推知他们没机会按自己的意愿发展。
