问题    As I type these lines, my daughter, Harriet, who is 14, is on her iPhone skipping among no fewer than eight social media sites. My son, Penn, who is 15, will be asleep for hours yet. He was 【C1】______ all night with a friend playing two video games, in a jag fueled by his favorite foodlike【C2】______.
   I like that my kids are comfortable and alert in the wired world. But increasingly I am 【C3】______ for them. It’s more 【C4】______ every day that screens have gradually stolen them from themselves. My wife, Cree, and I have 【C5】______ them to drift quite distantly into the online world, and we fear our casualness has been a【C6】______.
   Each summer Cree and I resolve to 【C7】______ things back. This is 【C8】______ we draft rules for a new school year, strictures like: no laptops in bedrooms during the week; homework before screen time; no electronics after 10 p.m.. These rules invariably begin to 【C9】______ by Day 3. By Day 4, there is pleading, and the discreet slamming of doors. By Day 8, no one is sure what the【C10】______are anymore. We’re back where we started, and plump with fear.
   This year it【C11】______to me we needed help. So I sat down with a new book that【C12】______assistance, and understanding. It is The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age, whose primary【C13】______, Catherine Steiner-Adair, is a clinical psychologist who teaches at Harvard Medical School. Her book is【C14】______on thousands of interviews, and it can be eloquent about the need to ration our children’ s computer time. Here the author has pinned me. I like to think I’ m a good father, perhaps even casually【C15】______in my better moments,【C16】______there is zero doubt that, without my iPhone in my palm, I feel I lose something since I’m fairly【C17】______. I must change my life a bit.
   Cree and I are still hammering out our kids’ computer rules. We are trying to【C18】______in mind that we’ re not our kids’ best friends; we’ re their【C19】______. And we are【C20】______if there’ s an app for fortitude.
【C20】
选项 A、wondering
B、thinking
C、guessing
D、hoping
答案A
解析 本句句意为“我们也______，是否有一款帮人鼓起勇气的应用软件”，wonder if是 固定搭配表示“想知道是否”，代入句中符合文意，故A．wondering“想知道”为正确答案。 thinking“想”，guessing“猜测”和hoping“希望”均不符合搭配，故排除。
