问题     It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.
    Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.
    Memorizing some facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.
    Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.
    Practise over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
    If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
What is the main idea of the passage?

选项 A、Give instructions on calling for help.
B、Partly-learned information is useless.
C、Teach children how to deal with emergencies.
D、Keep what children learn within their abilities.

答案C

解析 文章前两段讲述了一个孩子通过打电话报警避免了一场火灾事故的发生,三、四、五段告诉我们教会孩子怎样打电话报警。所以选项C(教会孩子如何应付紧急情况)为正确答案。
