B Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes. - 8 - An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very ” or “somewhat ” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today s parents are trying to manage their children s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate. However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult ” children. In the context ( 背景 ) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier. Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past. Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings. 61. The surveys inform us of _. A. the development of technology B. the changes of adult childrens behavior C. the parents over-protection of their college children D. the means and expenses of students communication 62. The writer believes that _. A. parents today are more protective than those in the past B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages - 9 - C. technology explains greater parental involvement with their children D. parents changed attitudes lead to college childrens delayed Independence 63. What attitude does the writer hold towards greater parental involvement according to the last paragraph? A. negative B. supportive C. understandable D. sceptical 64. What is the best title for the passage? A. Technology or Attitude B. Dependence or Independence C. Family Influence or Social Changes D. College Management or Communication Advancement 65. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? C No one knew Prince Edward Street as well as Pierre Dupin. He had delivered milk to the families on the street for thirty years. For t
