2、alone with any of my friends. Every time I want to go out, she gives me an incredibly long and boring speech. When I try to state my totally reasonable case, we end up arguing. Pm a girl of 16.1 think Im absolutely mature enough to go out alone with my friends. What should I do? - Sara T.Four Replie
3、sI think our moms might be twins. Theyre both so unfair. You should do what I do. Go out anyway. After all, you are 16! Thats obviously old enough to go out alone with your friends. Naturally, Fve made some mistakes. But Ive learned from them. And so far, I haven*t gotten into any trouble.- Steven E
4、.Your moms probably strict because she loves you. Naturally, she doesnt want you to go out without supervision because she*s afraid youll get hurt. You should definitely follow her directions.

5、way about me!-Jose G.Your mom is not so reasonable, but perhaps you can work out some kind of compromise （妥 协、）.Invite your friends to your house, and let your mom get familiar with them. Maybe youll find some middle ground!A. Science. B. Travel. C. History. D. Lifestyle.DIn the early 1970s American
6、 women gave birth, on average, to 2.12 children each. By 2018 that number had fallen to 1.73. Jordan Nickerson and David Solomon, professors at MIT, think they have found an interesting factor which help explain this change: Americas increasingly protective child car-seat laws.Their study examines t
7、he effect that car-seat policies may have had on American birth rates. During the 1980s, only the children aged under three had to be secured in child-safety seats. But since then, the requirements have been slowly increased. Today, most places in America make children sit in safety seats until thei
8、r eighth birthdays. That concern for youngsters safety has had the unexpected consequence of fewer three-child families.In drawing this conclusion they have connected population data with changes in state laws on safety seats. They discovered that stricter laws had no noticeable effects on the rates
9、 of births of first and second children, but with a drop, on average, of 0.73 percentage points in the number of women giving birth to a third while the first two were young enough to need safety seats.The professors also made two other related observations. The reduction they saw was limited to fam
10、ilies that did actually have access to a car. And space in the vehicle is the important factor. In pre-safety-seat days, putting three young children into the back of a family car was a perfectly practical advice. Most such cars, though, can comfortably accommodate only two safety seats, So, as the
11、child car-seat laws change, a family must wait longer time for a third child to fit in the car. Sometimes, that wait will mean no third child is ever bom.Unless, of course, the family concerned buys a bigger car. But average families have the obvious reasons not to do so - big cars cost more, and ar
12、e more costly to run. Interestingly, Dr Nickerson and Dr Solomon found that the third-child deterrent （遏制作用）appears even stronger among wealthier families. As they observe, nlarge cars may reflect their real status and taste, which may make people unwilling to switch even when they can afford to.”22

The connection between cars and American birthrate.23. What contributes to fewer three-child families according to Paragraph 4?A.
