Question

Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!

解析试题分析：本文主要讲述了现代社会对孩子过去宽容，给孩子的自由太多，导致孩子的教育方面出了很多的问题。
【小题1】D 推理题。根据第一段Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children说明父母没有时间照看孩子，让孩子的成长遇见了很多的问题，成为叛逆的一代，故Ｄ项正确。
【小题2】B 推理题。根据下一句They are given too much freedom by their families.说明现在的孩子被给了太多的自由，家庭社会对孩子的要求不高，不够严格。故B正确。
【小题3】C 推理题。根据文章倒数第三段最后2行Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.说明在现在的学校里，孩子想怎么穿衣服就怎么穿。这样的事情不应该被允许，故他认为学生应该穿校服，故C正确。
【小题4】A 推理题。根据文章第二段On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”.说明现在的社会对孩子太宽容是孩子犯错误的主要原因，故社会环境是孩子出问题的主要原因。故A正确。
