76．C
As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and shabby，the for-profit centers offer clean，safe，supervised activities as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters'physical fitness，usually for a fee of around﹩5 an hour．"Playgrounds are dirty，not supervised，"says Dick Guggenheimer，owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers，N．Y．，part of a Kansas City-based chain．"We're indoors； we're padded； parents can feel their child is safe．"
77．A
Discovery Zone has sold 120 outlets in the past 14 months，boasting sandboxes full of brightly colored plastic balls，mazes，obstacle courses，slides and mountains to climb．Now McDonalds is getting into the act．The burger giant is test-marketing a new playground，Leaps&Bounds，in Naperville，Ill．Phys Kids of Wichita has opened one center and has plans to expand．
78．F
American parents are rightly worried about their kids'leisure life．There are 36 million children in the U．S．aged 2 to 11 who watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week and devote less and less energy to active recreation．Nationwide decrease in education budgets are making the problem worse，as gym classes and after-hours sports time get squeezed．Says Discovery Zone president Jack Gunion："We have raised a couple of pure couch potatoes．"
79．D
In an attempt to attract more people，the new facilities cater to （迎合） the concerns of two-earner families，staying open in the evenings，10ng after traditional public playground have grown dark and unusable．At Naperville's Leaps&Bounds，families can play together for﹩4.95 per child，parents free．Fresh-faced assistants，dressed in colorful sport pants and shirts，guide youngsters to appropriate play areas for differing age group．
80．B
These new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care facilities； parents are expected to stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off．But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services．At some of the Discovery Zones，parents can register their children in special supervised programs，then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner．The most fun of all，though，is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-career families and two-hour commutes：play with their kid．That，at least，is old-fashioned，even at per-hour rates．
