问题 Protection or Freedom
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, though 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 comer like they're driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?
I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so because there are dangers around every comer. Too many kidnaps, too many sex offenders. I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my area 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 (头盔) 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 seat belts. I walked to and from school every day.
Given her husband's attitude towards bringing up kids, he would most probably（）
选项 A.drive his son to school to ensure safety.
B.follow his son all the way to school and back.
C.ask the other boy's parents to bring him over here.
D.give his son more freedom in deciding what to do.
答案D
解析细节题。句意：依据她丈夫对养育孩子的态度，他很可能会____。利用题干关键词 husband可以定位到第二段“My husband thinks I am too overprotective”，意为“丈夫认为 我对儿子保护过度了。”可以看出，丈夫认为应该给儿子适当的自由去决定他自己想做的 事情。故答案为D。
