    　　On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981．They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet(芭蕾舞)．Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50％ from 1981 to 1997：boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time．All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40％ of the day in 1981 to 25％．

    　　“Children are affected by the same time crunch(危机)that affects their parents, ” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable．A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home．Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively．In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers．

    　　All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids．“Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself, ” says T．Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School．Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it．

    　　The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television．But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news．If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading．Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading．Let’s face it, Who’s got the time?

    (1)

    [　　]

    A．

    children are not taken good care of by their working parents

    C．

    both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time

    D．

    (2)

    B．

    C．

    totally groundless

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    are engaged in more and more structured activities

    B．

    are increasingly neglected by their working mothers

    C．

    are spending more and more time watching TV

    D．

    are involved less and less in household work

    (4)

    [　　]

    A．

    extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence

    B．

    most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off

    C．

    efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful

    In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions. The animals are given more freedom in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in cages, and water flows through the places the animal live in.  there are few bars; instead, there is often a deep ditch, filled with water, which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they world naturally. In an American zoo, the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees, some small animals and many birds, and large enough for birds to live naturally. In a zoo in New York, with the us of special night, people can observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos are closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.

    Kilimanjaro Climb : a Rite of Passage for Father and Son

    Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I，the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol ofhis transition into manhood, and a great change in our relationship.

    Day three on the mountain, Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then, on the night we climbed the crater rim, less than 40 minutes from the summit, Josh fell. I was walking ahead, and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides, debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet, shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.

    “ I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time，，，he said, as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know, in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips, you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up, I climbed it. I never feltlike a kid, even when 1 was in pain. You never acted like a parent.”

    “That’s not quite true，”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell-and I did not even notice, my first thought was, ‘Oh my God! I’m such an awful parent!’ But then it hit me, ‘He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn't need me to help.，”

    I realized as I spoke that two people had died that night on Kilimanjaro. A child and a parent. It wasjust two friends who walked down the mountain together.

    3.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?

    A． Josh felt quite good about his independence.

    B． Josh appreciated his parents ，company and care.

    C． The father felt guilty all the time.

    D． The father should have taken good care of Josh as usual.

    5.Why did the father feel that two people had died?
