Many parents are hard pressed to explain to their youth why some music, movies, books, and magazines are not acceptable material for them to bring into the home or to listen to or see.
One parent came up with an original idea that is hard to refute. The father listened to all the reasons his children gave for wanting to see a particular "R" Rated movie. It had their favorite actors. Everyone else was seeing it. Even church members said it was great. It was only rated "R" because of the suggestion of sex. They never really showed it. The language was pretty good. The Lord’s name was only used in vain three times in the whole movie. The teens did admit there was a scene where a building and a bunch of people were blown up, but the violence was just the normal stuff. It wasn’t too bad.
Even if there were a few minor things, the special effects were fabulous and the plot was action packed. However, even with all the justifications the teens made for the "R" rating, the father still wouldn’t give in. He didn’t even give his children a satisfactory explanation for saying, "No." He just said, "No! "
A little later on that evening the father asked his teens if they would like some brownies he had baked. He explained that he’d taken the family’s favorite recipe and added a little something new. The children asked what it was. The father calmly replied that he had added dog poop.
However, he quickly assured them, it was only a little bit. All other ingredients were gourmet quality and he had taken great care to bake the brownies at the precise temperature for the exact time. He was sure the brownies would be superb.
Even with their father’s promise that the brownies were of almost perfect quality, the teens would not take any. The father acted surprised. After all, it was only one small part that was causing them to be so stubborn.
He was certain they would hardly notice it. Still the teens held firm and would not try the brownies.
The father then told his children how the movie they wanted to see was just like the brownies. Our minds are tricking us into believing that just a little bit of evil won’t matter. But, the truth is even a little bit of poop makes the difference between a great treat and something disgusting and totally unacceptable. The father went on to explain that even though the movie industry would have us believe that most of today’s movies are acceptable fare for adults and youth, they are not.
Now when this father’s children want to do something or see something they should not, the father merely asks them if they would like some of his special brownies... and they never ask about that activity again.
The children believed that their father could accept
选项
A、sex being shown in the movie.
B、buildings being exploded in the movie.
C、Lord’s name not being used in the movie.
D、their favorite actors not being in the movie.
答案
B
解析
第2段倒数第2句中的normal stuff表明人们对于电影中的爆炸场面已经习以为常。认为这是可以接受的,因此本题应选B。该段第6、7句表明孩子们认为父亲不可能接受电影把sex展示出来.可见A和题干的要求相反;C、D利用了原文的一些词语,但原文没有显示父亲对于这两点明确的态度.是赞成还是反对都没有原文依据,因此都不能选。
