parents have a special reason to do so. the end of summer means the start of school. and these days, planning a young childs schedule is a big challenge. the challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a childs day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术). educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. in the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study french or gymnastics after lunch. one teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. what happened to unstructured time?a generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. the truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. and one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves. david elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a childs confidence. the truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.a childs time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. remember the lazy days of summer? some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until its time to come home for dinner. however, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.come september, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 p.m., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. thats too much for a five-year old. finances, of course, do limit some parents. but lets be honest with ourselves our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young childs.1. the author holds that its a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _.a. parents are stuck in numerous choicesb. activities suitable for kids are limitedc. a childs schedule is too complex.d. children always say no to parents advice2. what the two teachers say in paragraph 2 implies that _. a. children love to stay at school b. they are popular with childrenc. children dislike after-school classesd. after-school classes are of poor quality 2. according to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes? a. parents want to make up for their own regrets. b. after-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.c. parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children. d. after-school classes develop childrens potential.4. which of the following will the author probably agree with? a. for childrens benefits, the earlier the better. b. childrens spare time should be carefully designed.c. idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past. d. parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason., dwhen i lived in spain，some spanish friends of mine decided to visit england by car，before they left，they asked me about how to find accommodation（住所）i suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak english with the familymy friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories “we didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses，”they said“because we found that most families were away on holiday” i thought this was strangefinally i understood what had happened.my friends spoke little english，and they thought “vacancies” meant “holidays” because

said “no vacancies”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holidaybut they found that these houses were all fullas a result，they stayed at hotels！ we laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signsin spanish，a word very similar to “diversion” means funin english it means that workman is repairing the road，and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “diversion” on a road sign，they thought they were going to have funinstead， the road ended in a large hole english people have problems too when they learn foreign languagesonce in paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，i said “thank you” in frenchi meant that i would like some morehowever，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away！ later
