四、阅读与回答问题
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we couldn’t accept his idea because of the noise. “It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,” Ben insisted, “and it’ll keep me out of trouble.” In the end we agreed. “All right,” we said, “but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.”
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to carry, the other members of Ben’s band (乐队) came to our home with their guitars and other instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must say that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge (评论) their musical skill—I didn’t expect my parents to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager—but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their schoolwork because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always telling Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain—Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.
