Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

I was sitting in back of a little girl, put on the plane by mother who placed a Care Bear in her arms and told her to remind Daddy to call when she got to California. The girl adjusted her seat belt and sniffed back a tear, bravely setting her jaw.

As we prepared for takeoff, the man next to the girl asked her the name of her bear and nodded in approval, saying Furry was a good name for a bear. When the little girl told him she was 6 years old, the man replied that he had a daughter who was 6 years old. His daughter was missing the same teeth, in fact.

By the time we were in the air, the man and the little girl were playing tic-tac-toe, and she revealed to him the names of her favorite friends. Somewhere over Ohio, I fell asleep, awakened by my mother instinct when I heard a child announce that she had to go to the bathroom.

“It?s in the back, right?” I heard the girl say to the man. The flight attendants were busy collecting lunch trays.

“Do you want me to take you there?” the man asked, standing.

At once my antennae were up and, leaning into the aisle, I craned my neck, practically knocking heads with the woman in the seat across from me. For one moment our eyes locked. She had been listening, too, and both of us had the same idea. Would this man go into the

bathroom with the child? I held my breath as he held open the bathroom door.

Then the man showed the girl how the lock worked and waited outside the door. The woman and I sighed in relief. She said, “Well, you can?t be too careful these days.”

I?ve thought about that man on the plane since then, and the image of him and the girl always leaves an empty sorrow. I know that sexual abuse of children is awful, which we must guard against. But it saddened me that I looked at someone who understood a child?s fear and saw a child molester.

These are trying times for men. We women say how we want men to be sensitive and nurturing, to be caring and affectionate. But my sense is that now these qualities cannot be readily displayed without arousing suspicion. Perhaps there is some sort of ironic punishment for all those years of accepting the male stereotypes. But there is a real loss here for us all when we must always be wary of the kindness of strangers.
