PASSAGE ONE
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.
I have to admit, 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 t
hinks I am too overprotective. I don’t care 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
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 corner like they’re driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What is some
teenage bullies are
hanging out in the parking lot?
I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I
hesitate
to do so because there are dangers around every corner. 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 when I rode a
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 seatbelts. I walked to and from school every day…

有一天，我儿子问我，如果他坐他的小学到他的自行车，满足他的朋友。

他希望他们都坐回到我们的房子，这样他们可以玩视频游戏和跳蹦床。

我必须承认，
我的一部分，
想说的话没有。
我们可以接他或他的父母可以把他带
过来，我< br>
思想。但我的儿子只有
11
岁了。毕竟，我让他骑自行车去上学。但我也开着 我

女儿上学，我可以看到他的方式，确保他安全地到达那里。

我丈夫认为我太过分。我不在乎，让我的孩子，我们一走，不会在任何地方

追随。当你拉出来的我们的邻国，有一个横跨

儿子总是问购物中心

如果他能骑自行车或步行到由他本人药店。但是，穿越那条街实在是太危险了。
该
< br>车飞在拐角处像他们是在一个赛车驾驶。
如果他被击中？什么是一些十几岁的恶
霸是
挂在停车场吗？

我是如此渴望，让我的孩子们的自由，我很喜欢有我成长的时候，但我犹豫

这样做，因为周围有危险的每一个角落。绑架太多，太多的性罪犯。我去上网

发现在我区有
41
个单独的性罪犯。

老实说，我不认为我的母亲，告诉她的孩子还小的时候这样的事情担心。

生长在20
世纪
70
年代确实是一个不同的时间。我从来没有戴头盔时，我都骑


在居委会，我们的自行车和步行，即将回家吃饭，然后再出去了，直到天黑。我

PASSAGE TWO
About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they
do today.
Gone are those days when patriotism towards one’s own language was a major obstacle to learning
foreign
languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien rulers out of their countries in
their freedom

are
those
days
when
people
were
proud
of
their
mother
or
father
tongues
and
considered that their
native
languages
alone
will
suffice
the
need
to
survive.
Language
skills
today
have
become
as
important as other
business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language
today has
become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even
to make an
impression.
All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all
kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish,
and Japanese.
Today’s world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world had
become a
smaller
place.
Today’s
businesses
also
demand
language
skills
to
expand
and
grow
in
other
countries. Tens and
hundreds of businesses world wide are expanding and growing their business by promoting them in
countries
