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... [br] What exactly did the author feel reluctant to let her son do?
选项
A、Take his friend home with his bike.
B、Jump up and down on the trampoline.
C、Cycle on streets without her supervision.
D、Meet his friend at his elementary school.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的reluctant和her son将本题出处定位到首段前三句。前两句提到儿子的请求及原因:他可不可以自己骑自行车去学校。在那里跟他的朋友碰面,然后他们两个人可以一起骑车回来,这样他们就可以在家玩。第三句说明作者的反应:我必须承认。另一半的我很想说不。结合该段末句提到的作者在开车送女儿上学时一路看着自己骑车的儿子可知,作者不愿意儿子在没有监护的情况下自己骑自行车外出,故答案为[C]。
