For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children alone.

Trả lời:
Đáp án C.
Clue: For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern. Đổi với hơn 6 triệu trẻ em Mỹ, trở về nhà sau giờ học đồng nghĩa với việc trở về căn nhà trống không. Một vài đứa trẻ giải quyết điều này bằng cách xem ti vi. Một số khác có thể trốn. Nhưng tất cả chúng đều có điểm chung. Chúng đều dành một phần trong ngày của mình một mình. Chúng được gọi là “latchkey children”. Chúng là những đứa trẻ tự chăm sóc bản thân khi bố mẹ đi làm. Và tình trạng tồi tệ của chúng đang trở thành một chủ đề đáng quan tâm.
Do đó, đáp án chính xác là đáp án C. Bad conditions of latchkey children.
