We are raising the anxious generation, and the conversation about the causes, and the potential cures, has just begun. According to recent studies, children today are being denied a sense of controlling their own lives—doing what they find meaningful, and succeeding or failing on their own. 36 So are well-meaning parents and teachers, who are unwittingly taking from children the opportunities they need to grow stronger, more confident and more themselves. A low sense of control in children and adolescents has been found to be highly associated with anxiety, depression, self-harm and virtually all mental health problems, which have risen significantly since the 1960s. 37 But what is seen in many of the juvenile subjects tested is patterns that are at the extremes. While some display an overtly obsessive drive to succeed, others see little point in working hard. 38 Quite a few subjects admit feeling exhausted all the time, not having enough downtime in their lives. Many talk about the expectations that they have to live up to, and complain that they have little say over their own lives. Researchers attributed the decline in a sense of control to packed schedules and fewer opportunities to be on one’s own.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方（第 39 句）受試者的自白：他們提到「精疲力竭」、「沒有休息時間」且「必須符合他人的期待」。如果一段話要帶出這些關於『累』與『壓力』的具體抱怨，那麼在前一句話中，最有可能先描述了什麼樣的心理處境或生活環境呢？

看到你能精確選出 (A) 選項，老師非常欣慰！這代表你已經敏銳地掌握了篇章結構中最重要的「語意連貫性」與「情節邏輯」。
語意的承上啟下與細節呼應
這題的解題關鍵在於觀察空格後的敘述。第 39 句提到受試者感到「疲憊不堪（exhausted）」、「沒有休息時間（no downtime）」以及「必須達到他人的期望（expectations）」。選項 (A) 中提到的「感到不知所措（overwhelmed）」與「負擔過重（overburdened）」，恰好能與後文的疲累感完美對接，形成一個完整的邏輯鏈條：因為外在的要求（demands）過多，才導致了後續身心俱疲的真實告白。
