Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的）．I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods．My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically．Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called interactive”．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．

(答案→)D 解析：文章中作者陈述了现在孩子童年发生了变化和产生变化的原因，问题是现在的孩子是否更快乐？【小题1】推理题：文章第一段提出：But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?，后面就是围绕这个问题展开论述：现在的孩子比我们快乐吗？，所以提出问题是吸引读者和引出话题的，选D【小题2】细节题：从第三段的句子：Firstly, families are smaller, 可知现在的家庭变小了，A是对的，As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．可知现在孩子是单独在家玩玩具，More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers,可知父母更加担心孩子的安全，没有提到C项。【小题3】推理题：从第四段的内容：The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．可知现在孩子在家玩的游戏有的不是好的，选A【小题4】推理题：文章中作者陈述了现在孩子童年发生了变化的事实，所以对于现在的孩子童年的改变是客观的，选B
