About eight million school-age children are home alone after school. These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home, and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.
Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths. One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.
After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time. In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours, after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relationships with adults. Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults, as well as good use of time, are very important for healthy development in youth.
After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends’ houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home. The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities, including" drop-in "programs that are provided by organizations.
Despite the benefits of after-school programs, there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive, of poor quality, or hard to join. Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care. Parents may feel uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the traditional child care years. However, research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The grades of those children who are home alone after school are more likely to suffer.
B、Parents want to give their children as much as possible freedom.
C、The after-school programs help the students to make use of the time after school.
D、The after-school programs are effective in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.
答案
B
解析
根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,父母亲不确定到底可以给年龄较长已经过了托管年龄的孩子多大自由,可以判断父母亲并没打算让孩子们随心所欲,给他们彻底的自由,因此B选项的内容是不正确的。A选项的依据是第一段最后一句“…research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors”,C选项的依据是第三段第二句“In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours…”,D选项的依据是第三段第一句“After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence…”。
