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...
We can infer from the passage that .
选项
A、children today seem to be more obedient to their parents
B、children in the 1970s enjoyed more freedom than those today
C、the author became overprotective under the influence of her mother
D、the social security back in the 1970s was no better than it is today
答案
B
解析
第三段首句提到,我非常想给与我的孩子们我在成长过程中所享受过的自由(但是没有给),第五段首句提到,在20世纪70年代长大确实不同于现在,接下来举例说明了她们当时享有的自由。由此可知,在20世纪70年代长大的孩子比现在的孩子享有更多的自由,故答案为[B]。[A]在文中未提及;[C]与第四段矛盾,故排除;由作者举自己成长中的例子可知,[D]与原文意思矛盾,故排除。
