Question

阅读理解 　　While we have complained about budgets in accounting or fallen asleep in a carpool line, our children have been listening and watching．The stresses of our jobs are spilling over into our home lives, and our kids are worried about us．A new survey, “Ask the Children”, conducted by the Family and Work Institute of New York City, asked more than 1000 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 about their parents’ work lives．“If you were granted one wish to change the way your parents’ work affected your life, ” the survey asked kids, “what would that wish be?” Most parents assumed that children would want more time with them, but only 10％ did．Instead, the most common wish(among 34％)was that parents would be less stressed and tired by work． 　　Alison Levin is the mother of three young children and a professional in the accounting firm Pricewater-house Coopers．Levin counsels employees who are overwhelmed(压倒)by their work and family obligations to carefully review their commitments．“It’s not about getting up earlier in the morning so you can get more done, ” she says．“It’s about saying no and making choices．” Working parents, she adds, should be fully home when they are home． 　　We can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind as soon as we start the trip home．Think about how to make the most of the upcoming time with your family．And do something to get yourself in a good mood, whether it’s listening to music in the car or reading a novel on the train, rather than returning calls on the cell phone, and stay away from e-mail． 　　Remember too that your kids are learning about the world of work from you, so when they ask about your day, be sure to tell them about something good that happened．(In the survey, 69％ of moms said they liked their work, but only 42％ of kids thought they did．) 　　Parents can also distress by cutting back on their children’s activities．If keeping up with your kid’s schedule is killing you, you might insist that he choose between karate(空手道)lessons and the theatre troupe．Parents should also sneak away from work and family occasionally to feed their own interests and have fun． (1) The results of the survey mentioned in Paragraph 1 show that _________． [　　] A． children hope their parents would spend more time with them B． children wish their parents would have less stress from work C． children wish to change the way their parents’ work affects them D． children wish to change the way their parents treat them (2) We know from the passage that Allison Levin thinks that working parents should _________． [　　] A． refuse to take on too many work responsibilities B． make a choice between family and work obligations C． stop thinking about their work when they are at home D． get up early in the morning to get more done (3) What does the writer suggest that working parents do on their way home?
