Question

阅读理解。

     Recently a young fellow from Sheridan was accused of first-degree murder. The youth was
15 years old when he shot and killed a 79-year-old man while burglarizing (入室盗窃)the man's
home. The victim was a well-respected and much loved Sheridan citizen.
     The crime and punishment are tragedies. It was a tragedy that a wonderful citizen of the city
was shot and killed in his bedroom in the middle of the night. It is another tragedy that the young
man, now 17, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
     His mother had largely neglected the young man. Suffering an unhappy marriage life, his mother
sent him to live with an aunt and uncle in Sheridan. The youth really had no activities other than
skateboarding at the skate park.  The circle of friends that the youth had was basically in 1he same
boat: they had little parental love and care in their lives.
     I wonder what would have happened to the young fellow if he had been introduced to the joys
of the outdoors at an early age. Perhaps his life would have taken a different course. Many of us
have learned our outdoor skills by observing our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or some
other adults. Basically, the people who taught us cared for us and wanted to get us interested in
their outdoor activities.
     Parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends of the family need to do the same thing today. We
need to educate our children in outdoor skills. We need to teach them by taking them fishing, hunting,
hiking, birding, horseback riding, and swimming. Most of all, we need to spend time with our children
and show them we care.
     We need to give our youths some healthy outdoor alternatives to the drug and troublemaking culture
that results from too little supervision and too little love. By doing so, perhaps we can avoid further
tragedies.
