高考题型提能练十九 Unit 19 Language Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesnt she look happy? She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong. For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break. Now, of course, thats not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether theyre really smiling or just sort of smiling. However, I dont think its necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldnt be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when theyre at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness. The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our childrens lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents. 1.That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________. A.was bored and wanted to kill the time B.wanted to make sure her daughter was alright C.
