问题         The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty of the spirit.【C1】________, one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides(自杀) every year by children under 15,and one child in five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.
        There are many good things about【C2】________in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between【C3】________and children. But in the most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.【C4】________, the child sees mother and father, relatives and neighbors working nearby and often shares in that work.
        A child【C5】________in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s work; helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies——rather than through playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets【C6】________playing with dolls.
        These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the western children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, on the other hand, are provided with a watch as one of the【C7】________signs of growing up, so that they can【C8】________along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows.
        The Third World children do not usually【C9】________to stay indoors, still less in high rise apartment(公寓). Instead of dangerous roads, "keep off the grass" sign and "don’t speak to strangers", there is often a sense of freedom to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them【C10】________from ten floors up. Of course, twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease. But childhood in the Third World is not all bad.
【C3】

选项 A、relatives
B、fathers
C、neighbors
D、adults

答案D

解析 本题主要考查名词。根据下文“But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices”可知这里是举例说明孩子和家长之间的距离。因此D项符合题意,表明在西方工作的本质就把距离摆在了成年人和孩子之间。
