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 does the author mean when she says "But my son is eleven years old now"?()
选项
A.He is a bit too young to go out alone.
B.He is old enough to be given some freedom now.
C.He has reached the legal age for riding a bike.
D.He can't protect himself from road hazards.
答案
B
解析
细节题。句意:作者说“但是我的儿子现在已经11岁了”这句话的意思是什么?该句后一句意为“最终,我让他自己骑车去上学了”。可知,作者觉得儿子已经长大了,应 该拥有他自己的自由了。故答案为B。
