A number of recent studies suggest that children are experiencing a high degree of anxiety over the prospect of nuclear war.
I am sure there are children who are deeply concerned, even terrified, by the perceived threat of nuclear destruction, but I wonder whether this is not caused in part by the way they are exposed to this subject. If we are going to do research, I think some of it should extend to the emotional health of parents who bring their children up with these fears. Some of the most ardent disarmament proponents seem to be sorely lacking in common sense when it comes to child-rearing: The young ages of some of these frightened children indicate that they are receiving their nuclear-war information directly from their parents long before they are able to read books, magazines or newspapers on the subject, or even before they would voluntarily choose to view televised reports and programs on the subject.
No one can be comfortable expecting the prospect of nuclear war. It is a global problem that does exist, must be acknowledged and should be addressed by individuals and their governments. But life cannot stop in the meantime; children must have their childhood if they are to grow into emotionally healthy adults. Can they really do so if they are preoccupied with death; if in response to concerns thrust upon them by their misguided parents, they place the fear of nuclear war before every other concern in their lives?
1.Why does the author say that some of the most ardent disarmament proponents \\(A)
A. Because it is harmful to the emotional growth of the young children to tell them so many terrifying scenes.
B. Because they probably have no children of their own.
C. Because they are not aware that their efforts will prove useless.
D. Because they often differ in opinions as to how they should raise their children.
