The other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend. He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline (蹦床). I have to admit, part of me wanted to say no. We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now. And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.
My husband thinks I am too overprotective. I don’t dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you pull out of our neighborhood, there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just too dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like they’re driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies (恃强凌弱的人) are hanging out in the parking lot?
I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so because there are dangers around every corner. Too many kidnaps, too many sex offenders. I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my zip code alone.
I honestly don’t think my mom worried about such things when her children were young.
Growing up in the 1970s was indeed a different time. I never wore a helmet when I rode a bike. We were all over the neighborhood, on our bikes and on foot, coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark. We rode in the back of the truck, didn’t wear seatbelts. I walked to and from school every day.
My sister and I would spend the night at friends’ houses even if our mom didn’t know the parents.
My parents would drop us off at the public swimming pool or the roller rink for a couple of hours. No parent supervision...
What is considered by the author as a potential threat to kids?
选项
A、Cars racing by.
B、Drug stores.
C、Students in their teens.
D、The street corners.
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的a potential threat将本题出处定位到第二段最后四句。倒数第四句提到,穿过那条街道真的太危险了,接下来举例说明了危险,[A]Cars racing by与危险之一:The cars fly around…like...driving in a car race对应,故答案为[A]。[B]“药店”是针对drugstore(商店)设的干扰项;作者提到teenage bullies是危险之一,而非Students in their teens,故排除[C];文中提到the corner处飞驰的汽车可能伤到孩子,而非the corner本身,故排除[D]。
