35、Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a caution against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but hid from them, afraid someone might “s
36、teal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social ski
37、lls and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disa
38、ppearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of
39、 all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common but a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strang
40、ers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close super
41、vision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messag
42、es about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.32. Which of the following statements is true about the 11-year-old boy?A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.B. He hid from the rescuers just as he was told.C. He eventually showed up when the game ended.D. He w
43、ent somewhere else to avoid being found.33. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Wandering off.C. Being abducted by strangers.D. Running away.34. The “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to childr

Which would the author agree wi
