更多“Unlike their seniors who remember a world without TV, they are as ______ in sounds and ima”相关的问题
More than 100 years after the conflict, a Gallup poll of American college seniors found that 42% couldn't date the war to the correct half-century. In 2001, sampling 12-to 17-year-olds, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation discovered that nearly one in four students didn't even know the Civil War had been fought between the North and the South. Thirteen percent figured that it was the US against Great Britain, while five percent guessed it was East vs. West.
In the same poll, over 5,000,000 US teenagers were clueless about the Fourth of July. Fourteen percent thought we had declared our independence from France; three percent, from Native Americans; and one percent, from Canada. So much for 1776!
It's not just early history that students get failing grades on. Americans of all ages even draw a blank when it comes to the 20th century. Questioned in 1995, 60% of adults couldn't name the president who ordered the dropping of the first atomic bomb (Harry S. Truman). Even worse, 20% didn't know where—or even if—such a bomb had ever been used.
The shocking results of these surveys show Americans are suffering from a disease called "cultural amnesia," the social equivalent of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike Alzheimer's, though, it afflicts the young as well as the old. Debilitating and progressive, the malady is eating away at America's soul, for just as an individual needs memories to maintain a sense of personal identity, so does a nation need them in order to survive.
Survival means having a sense of continuity. As Civil War historian Bruce Catton put it, "The American story is above all other things a continued story. It did not start with us and it will not end with us." To sense this continuity, we need to know our history, for the selfrealization of a nation is based on keeping faith with the unfulfilled dreams and sacrifices of the past. It is to this idea that Lincoln referred in the Gettysburg Address when he spoke of the "unfinished work" that must be done if "this nation…shall have a new birth of freedom."
Yet, when a national civics test was administered in 1998, 35% of high school seniors failed. As educational researcher Diane Rayitch reported: "Only nine percent of the kids were able to give two reasons why it is important for citizens to be involved in a democratic society."
Combined with their historical ignorance, the civic disengagement of America's young leaves their country's future in peril. More so than any other system of government, a democracy relies on the wisdom and judgment of its people. To quote another president, Thomas Jefferson, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the surveys？
A．58% of American college seniors could date the Civil War.
B．U.S. teenagers knew so much of the year of 1776.
C．40% of adults could name the plotter of casting first atomic bomb.
D．American adults knew better of early history than the 20th century.

Text 1
Nisaburo and I-Iiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age. Sure， Hiroko， 58， is worried about her husband" s high blood pressure， while Nisaburo， 60， promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they"ll take a trip abroaD.What makes the Ohatas different is how they met， through a matchmaking organization for single seniors. "On the second date， he asked if I wanted to meet his family，" says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little rushed， perhaps， but 17 years after his wife" s death， Nisaburo knew he" d found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness last month.
In the past， people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out their lives alone. But as Japan" s society ages， attitudes about love and remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006， according to government data， three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60s and 70s married for at least the second time， compared with 20 years before.
Granted， change is slow. For this silver-haired population， the concept of "dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi （friends having tea together）. And older people often need help meeting I rospective mates. That" s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior——" Love Senior"——come in. When Shunichi Ikeda started the online service three years ago， he was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s.I keda says that his clienls have an "American perspective" about the dating scene. And their
children are often very supportive， sometimes being the ones to register parents. "More older peo-ple are realizing that life is supposed to be enjoyable——not lonely，" says IkedA.About 17% of the matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old， according to Ai Senior， and seniors" market share has more than doubled over the past three years. "For older， single men， even doing laundry or cooking is difficult，" says IkedA."They want to live with a woman. Likewise， it can be boring for women living alone. They want to provide for someone.
