高三英语(人教版)一轮基础复习：选修八《Unit+1 A+lan

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2014·四川都江堰名校诊断模拟)As parents，we always want what is best for our children.But finding that balance between allowing them to spread their wings and become independent and keeping them safe seems to be becoming increasingly difficult.In the past few weeks there have been two cases in which teens have murdered younger children.
The truth is that we just don’t know，so how can we possibly let our children out of our sight？I know my son is capable of going to use the bathroom at a restaurant by himself，but I don’t know who else might be in that bathroom that could harm him.I know that he is capable of finding his way through the short wooded path at the park that is within yelling distance，but there is another access to the wooded area where someone could snatch him and take him out the other side before I would know it.Even when “all the other kids are doing it”as a mother my answer is “no”，because the what­ifs are too great.
But we also can’t live in fear.At some point we will have to let them out of our sight or the sight of their teachers.When I think about 10­year­old Jessica Ridgeway walking to school in Colorado and 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale riding her bike，I think that their parents must be devastated(不安的)that they allowed them out on their own，but I also think that by those ages I hope that my child will be able to do the same thing.They were old enough to do them，but they still were victims to the evil of their neighbors.
The world will never be rid of evil people.And it’s probably not even possible to say that it’s more evil now than it was when I was a kid.The news didn’t spread quite as far or as quickly as it does now with the Internet so people weren’t faced with stories about it every single day.I don’t know when will be the right time to let my son become more independent in this world.In the meantime，I will try to teach him how to protect himself w ithout trying to scare him into being afraid to leave the house.Life isn’t all good，and while I try to shield him from the evil in this world，it’s important that I also teach him about it so that he is well armed if something bad happens to him－which I pray never happens.
