5. An Adult Decision
The year before my son turned 18, he constantly pleaded to be allowed to a tattoo, but I refused to sign permission for one. He argued that soon he would be a man and he should be able to make adult decisions. Sure enough, a few days after his 18th birthday, he come home with a tattoo. Although I was not happy about this, I was curious to see what symbol of masculinity he had chosen. There, on his shoulder, was a two-inch image of Mickey Mouse.
Notes:
(1) constantly adv. 不斷地
(2) tattoo n. 文身
(3) permission n. 允許
(4) masculinity n. 陽性，男性
(5) image n . 形象，肖像
(6) Mickey Mouse 米老鼠
Exercises:
根據短文判斷下列句子正（T）、誤（F）：
① When the son pleaded to be allowed to a tattoo, the mother thought her son was old enough to make an adult decision.
② A few days before his birthday, the son came home with a tattoo.
③ The mother wondered what symbol her son had chosen.
④ The image of Mickey Mouse on the son's shoulder was three inches long.
⑤ From the passage, we can see that the son really made an adult decision.
成年人的抉擇
我兒子十八歲前的那一年，他常常向我提出準許他文身。但我拒絕允許他這樣做。他爭辯說他不久就要成為男子漢了，并說他應該能夠作出成年人的抉擇了。果然，十八歲生日的幾天后，他文了身，回到家里。盡管我對此感到不高興，但出于好奇，我想看看他選擇了什么雄性象征物。原來是他在肩上文了一個兩英寸長的米老鼠像。
練習參考答案：
① F ② F ③ T ④ F ⑤ F
