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.
According to the passage,children of rich families_______.
A.enjoy traveling
B.can buy love
C.usually commit suicide
D.are not always happy

答案:D
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。
