2.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up,and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his parents,he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,his clothes,and his room,but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may go to prison.If,however,he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

點(diǎn)評 推理判斷題包括判斷和推理題.這兩類題常常相互依存,推理是為了得出正確的判斷,正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理.
推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上,做出一定判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義.其所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話,也可是某幾句話,但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù),既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理,也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理.所以,推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫(paraphrase)或綜合.
