2.Our"Mommy and Me"time began two years ago.My next-door neighbor and fellow mother,Christie,and I were out in our front yards,watching seven children of age 6and under ride their bikes up and down."I wish I could take one of my children out alone,"said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan:When Christie takes one of her children out,I'll watch her other three.And when she watches two of mine,I'll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of"Mommy and Me"time.Christie's daughter,McKenzie,went first.When she returned,the other children showered her with tons of questions.McKenzie was smiling broadly.Christie looked refreshed and happy."She's like a different child when there's no one else around,"Christie shared with me quietly.With her mother all to herself,McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie,I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times.For example,I am always surprised when my daughter,who is seldom close to me,holds my hand frequently.My stuttering (口吃) son,Tom,doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak.And the other son,Sam,who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The"Mommy and Me"time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking,sharing,and laughing,which has been the biggest gain.Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.

分析 文章主要讲述了"妈妈和我"这个活动对"我"和邻居家两个家庭的影响.
解答 24.B 主旨大意题.文章主要讲述了"妈妈和我"这个活动对"我"和邻居家两个家庭的影响,最后一段点明了主旨,即"每次花时间和一个孩子在一起的好处".A项"唯一一个和妈妈在一起的孩子的经历",C项"两个家庭的幸福生活",D项"孩子的基本需求",均不能概括文章的主旨.故正确答案为B.
25.B 细节理解题.由第三段第三句"When she returned,the other children asked her tons of questions."可知,当 McKenzie 回来之后,孩子们围着她问了许多问题,可见他们十分好奇(curious).故正确答案为B.
26.D 细节理解题.由第四段第三句"My stuttering(口吃的) son,Tom,doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak."可知,Tom 的口吃问题改善了,即言语上的问题变少了,D项正确.故正确答案为D.
27.C 细节理解题.由文章最后一句"Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while."可知,作者认为每个孩子都需要当一次父母亲唯一的孩子,哪怕一次也好,也就是说每个孩子都需要父母的全部关注.故正确答案为C.
