【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I'd like to ask you, now that you have a young child, whether you worry about the level of crime in the city. M: Luckily, I've never actually been struck by crime. But now that we have Daniel, I've become conscious of it. W: What do you mean? M: Well, personally, it doesn't affect me that much, but I hear so many stories and I see it on the TV news, so I'm aware of it and concerned about it. Sometimes I'm out late at night, and I see big groups of kids roaming the streets. And that frightens me. W: Really? M: Yeah. I mean, it depends. If it's a rowdy teenage group, I go over to the other side of the street. I'm tall, but still I try to avoid them. What I think is that they should be doing something else. W: Do you worry that violence could affect your life? M: I do, to be honest. Every time I get on the subway, I'm afraid that someone in the car could have a gun. Guns might not be visible, but they're everywhere, and at any minute, people can lose control. Guns are my biggest fear. I think guns are the biggest problem in the city...Well, I've never seen anyone with a gun—and much less seen a shooting—but just last week someone got shot in a bookstore! In the safest part of the city! It's very random: that's what worries me. There was another incident where a kid was asleep, and there was a shot from the apartment next door that went through the wall, and the bullet struck him in the leg. You're not even safe in your own house. W: Why do you think there is so much crime? M: Because kids think guns are ordinary. They're available. They're just facts of life. It's a recipe for disaster. I think that kids don't have enough contact with their parents. Basically kids who get into gangs don't have that much contact with other people...you know what I'm trying to say? Parents are the main people that need to be responsible for their children. My sister's a teacher, and she says it's amazing...some parents think that school is responsible for teaching kids values. But that's not what I think. So many problems come from the fact that parents can't spend enough time with their kids. W: And gun control should be the government's responsibility. If there were fewer guns, that would definitely bring crime down. M: Yeah, the government has such a slack attitude toward guns. I really agree with you. There are several things which make the man conscious of crime. Which of the following is NOT one of these things?
