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...
What does the author mean by "But my son is eleven years old now" (Line 4, Para. 1)?
选项
A、He is a bit too young to go out alone.
B、He has reached the legal age for riding a bicycle.
C、He can’t protect himself from road hazards.
D、He is old enough to be given some freedom now.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的eleven years old将本题出处定位到首段第五句。结合第六句提到的“我毕竟已经让他骑自己的自行车去上学了”可知,作者给了儿子一些自由。由此可知,作者提到“我儿子已经十一岁了”意在说明十一岁的儿子已经足够大了,应该给他一些自由,故答案为[D]。
