Never Talk to Strangers?
B
．
Projects.
D
．
Documents.
“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution 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 arching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the
unfortunate game of hide-and-ek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming
incident shows how unwi it is to instill (
灌输
) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can
prevent children from developing the social skills 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 parent’s worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when
compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cas in Canada.
Only 31 involved abduction; in most of tho cas the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family.
There were 671 cas of children wandering off, and 332 cas of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cas
were runaways. The statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is
more common—but a lost child 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 strangers” 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 clo supervision (
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 messages
about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.

A young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She paus briefly to write in a nearby
23．（8分）
notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: "Where are the toilets plea?"This is a familiar scene in
Tokyo’s so-called "silent cafés", where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in
notepads.
The concept ris by a desire to be alone among young Japane, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a
shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee
shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected
to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company
even offers single women the opportunity to have a "one woman wedding"—a full bridal affair, complete with white
dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression-“botchi-zoku”,
referring to individuals who consciously choo to do things completely on their own.
One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nur, travelled 90 minutes from her home,
to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss
Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nur and
it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit
somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet,
calm atmosphere.”
The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million "hikikomori" - a more
extreme example of social reclus(
隐士
) who withdraw completely from society.

Ashley Power's mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she
was surfing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldn't find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day
she thought, "If I had my own website, I'd make it a really interesting site for teenagers."
