Fearful parents are saying no to sleepovers,banning children as old as 15  from using pub?lic transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks at the local park,according to a new British study.

The survey of 6,099 people commissioned (受委托) by LV = Streetwise,a charity that ed?ucates children about safety,revealed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent can't go to the park without a parent or guardian.

It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids.

"It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,and this report shows just how much things have changed over the last generation," said LV = group chief executive Mike Rogers in a statement.

In contrast,just four percent of today's adults say they were banned from sleepingover when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.

"Stranger danger" is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent) ，fol?lowed by bullying (47) ”mugging (47) and road danger (34) .

On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12 ,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.

In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11 ,and babysit a sibling by the time of their 12th birthday.

Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a young?ster.

   D. Bullying,mugging and road danger.

(   ) 7.        percent of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house now in comparison with their parents'         .

   A. 25% ； 4%   B. 20% ； 4%   C. 15% ； 2%   D. 25% ； 2%

(   ) 8. What is the main meaning of the passage?

 New technology comes to the aid of the disabled in many forms that will knock your socks off!

  A mobility robot is a robot that is designed to help disabled people move around. It might have wheels,but most often it will have legs so it can climb stairs and uneven ground. It might also take the form of a mobility suit,which is a kind of robot that surrounds your body,arms and legs. Here are some examples.

  Toyota Partner Robot This mobility robot can not only transport you around,you can also make it follow you around and use it to transport all the things you have bought when you are shopping. Even though it has wheels,it can still climb stairs since each wheel can move independently up and down.

  Twendy One The other amazing mobility robots in the top 10 can only help you move around. Twendy One is different. It can help you move around and help you do almost all your household chores. Thanks to Twendy One's ability to understand human instructions,it can help you toast bread,prepare your dinner and find all kinds of stuff for you.

  EL-E Fetch Bot The EL-E might not be a true mobility robot. It can't help you move around,but it can fetch things for you so you don't need to move anyway. All you need to do is to point a laser pointer at something and EL-E will race to get it for you. You can also point at another location to make EL-E move the item instead of giving it to you.  

  Bonus-BEAR Disabled people aren't the only ones who need to be transported around. Wounded soldiers might also need a lift back to base,so say hello to BEAR―Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot. The BEAR's two legs are designed so they can go anywhere a human can and the two arms can lift more than 250 pounds―enough to carry a wounded soldier.

(   ) 5. Toyota Partner Robot with wheels can still climb,that's because         .

   A. it can understand human instructions

   B. it is one of the top ten mobility robots

   C. its wheels can move up and down independently

(   ) 6. What Twendy One is different from the other robots is         .

   A. to do housework   B. to fetch something

   C. to climb stairs   D. to move around

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the statements is NOT true?

   A. A mobility robot can give disabled people much more help.

   B. When EL-E Fetch Bot fetches for you,a laser device is needed.

   C. Bonus-BEAR can be used to lift and carry the heavy.

   D. The four robots can all help people transport around.

(   ) 8. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1?
