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.
【C19】
选项
A、relatives
B、parents
C、companions
D、enemies
答案
B
解析
根据本句句意“……我们不是孩子最好的朋友;我们是他们的——”以及最后一个单词fortitude“勇气”可知,此处作者想表达在孩子使用电脑方面,家长要严格规定,鼓起勇气让孩子执行规定,故B.parents“家长”为正确答案。relatives“亲戚”和companions“同伴;伴侣”均不符合文意。enemies“敌人”太极端,也排除。
