In November, 1969, I was working for the federal government in Champaign, where I was a security guard at their Nike Hercules Missile Base. The base, located on Lake Shore Drive near Chicago, was surrounded by water and rock-filled banks. It was my job to check all the guard points, making sure the base was secure. When I arrived late one afternoon at the security office for my shift, I noticed a warning posted on the boards: large parts of the fencing on the west side of the lake had been cut and not yet repaired. I immediately called my supervisor Colonel Stabler in Champaign to report the problem. In response, Colonel Stabler told me to act as a sentinel relief man and double-check all stations. As each guard reported in, I would re-walk the area to see if the guard had missed anything. As night came on, there was a misty rain, and the fog from the lake began forming a heavy cloud around the area, limiting vision to a few feet. At 11:45 p. m. , one of the guards reported another section of the fence cut on the west side of the base. I immediately fastened on my pistol and headed for the area. When I arrived, a ghostly object startled me, moving along the shoreline. Then a loud splash sounded in the water. In a virtual panic, I locked and loaded my weapon. In the next instant, a white figure suddenly loomed up from the lake shore. "A ghost!" I thought. I was so upset and scared, I couldn’t scream, and my gun slipped from my lifeless finger. As I stood frozen in my tracks, the phantom moved steadily closer, signaling for me to approach. When it approached within a few feet, I bolted, fleeing the area as fast as I can run. When I got back to the security post, I dialed the lake patrol with shaking hands, demanding that they search the sea. Shortly afterward, they captured an escaped mental patient who admitted walking through the area. Under questioning, the man claimed he was a ghost from the past. In this escape, he had fitted a large bed sheet over his body, cutting crude holes for his eyes and mouth. Still a bit shaky, I called the mental institution to confirm the man’s escape, and directed the security team to escort him back. When I reported the incident to Colonel Stabler the next day, he said, "Larry, there’s a show on tonight you should go and see. " I said, "What show" He said, laughing, "Casper, the friendly ghost. " From that day onward, whenever the colonel called, he would ask, "Is Casper the friendly ghost busy\ What was Colonel Stabler’s instruction on the author’s narration of the story

A. He should re-walk the areas where the fencing had been cut.
B. He should check all the guard points before the guard went off duty.
C. He was to double-check the stations of sentinels who went off duty.
D. He was to repair those parts of the fencing that had been cut.

Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them If your answer to these questions is "yes", then you are either extremely permissive or just plain irresponsible. If your answer is "no", then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship. Now, of course, you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned and quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is the parents’ responsibility to provide it. But what about adults Aren’t they old enough to decide what is good for them The answer is that many adults are, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all adults are like you. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good. Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views—often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art". When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, unscrupulous people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate " artistic" with " pornographic ". The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. To argue in favor of absolute freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides. The fact that parents check the contents of the book or the film for their children to read or see shows ______.

A. the necessity of censorship
B. many books and films are bad
C. the parents are permissive
D. children need their parents to help them understand more
