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.
What did the author feel reluctant to let her son do?（）
选项 A.Meet his friend.
B.Play video games.
C.Ride his bike on streets.
D.Jump on the trampoline.
答案C
解析细节题。句意：作者不情愿让儿子做什么?文章第一段提到儿子想骑车去学校接他的 朋友一起来家玩，但是作者很不情愿儿子这么做，后文作者又说她可以开车去把儿子的 朋友接来，由此可以看出，作者并不是不愿意儿子去见朋友，而是不放心他自己骑车。 故答案为C。
