Letting her take the wheel
My daughter, Mia, is 16 and learning to drive. Many parents are freaked out (惊慌失措) about putting their easily distracted teenagers in charge of a fast-moving
chunk (大块) of glass and steel. My wife refused to teach her, leaving the task to me.
I’ve learned a few things. First, Mia didn’t know how to drive at all. She didn’t
even know where to put the key. It was like watching a chimpanzee try to solve a
puzzle. Worse, she couldn’t remember that D was for drive, and R meant reverse (倒车).
Then came the road rules. Mia likes to sail past stop signs. I had to explain that
“STOP means STOP”. Had she actually read the rule book? “Yes,” she said, but she
forgot most of it. “It was so boring.”
Although I had been driving her around for her whole life, she hadn’t learned
anything.
Despite these things, I’ve also learned that I enjoy teaching her. I think I’m
pretty good at it. I am much calmer than I thought I would be. I also enjoy the one-on-one time we have together. We have some good
conversations. So far, we have covered her friends’ hairstyles and how stressed she
feels after school. I enjoyed communicating with her.
One Sunday evening, we were driving down a narrow back street, deep in
conversation, when I realized that the car was moving quite fast. “SLOW DOWN!” I
yelled, yanking (猛拉) the hand brake (手刹).
We stopped the car and sat in the dark for a minute. “You can’t go that fast,” I
said. “You don’t know enough yet.” I put my hand on her head, “I don’t want
anything to happen to you.”
“Me neither.” she said.
“Okay, cool,” I said. “Let’s go.”
she started the car and we headed back home.
4. What can we know from the first four paragraphs?
A. Mia was worried about driving.
B. Mia didn’t get along with her mother.
C. Mia was a beginner at driving.
D. Mia was naturally good at driving.
5. The author enjoys teaching Mia mainly because _____.
