9、14 which refer to Reading Passage 1 belowFINDING THE LOST FREEDOM1 The private car is assumed to have widened our horizons and increased our mobility. When we consider our children mobility, they can be driven to more places （and more distant places) than they could visit without access to a motor v
10、ehicle However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded children independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision In recent surveys, when parents in some cities were asked about their own c
11、hildhood experiences, the majority remembered having more, or far more, opportunities for going out on their own, compared with their own children today. They had more freedom to explore their own environment.2. Children's independent access to their local streets may be important for their own
12、personal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a 'sense of place5. This depends on 'active exploration which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars. (Such children may see more, but they learn les
13、s.) Not only is it important that children are able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.3. There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transporting
14、 their children to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds4. The reduction in children freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of local community. As fewer children and adults
15、 use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This is itself may exacerbate fears associated with assault and molestation of children, and w
16、ho can look out for their safety5. The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollution and accident risk As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thus contributing to increased levels of danger for the re
17、maining pedestrians Anyone who has experience either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children loss of freedom.6. As individual, parents strive to prov
18、ide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so, by driving their children to sport, school) or generally, the idea that 'streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to kee
19、p their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety7. In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts in Germany, residential streets are now places where cares must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, residents are accepting the view that the function of stre
20、et is not solely to provide mobility for cars. Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of 'traffic calming, initiatives, aimed at reducing th
21、e volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complex interactive effects, leading to a sense that children have able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children inmany German cities have significantly higher levels of freedom to travel to places in their own nei
