题目内容
14.Naturally,American schoolchildren love hoildays.And they get a lot of them each year.Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents'Day off from school,studnets get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays.In fact,kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year.To students,hoildyas are perfect.However,parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand,school holidays allow families to spend time together.Many American parents take time off from work during June,July or August to travel with their children on vacations either in the US or in a foreign country.On the other hand,schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time.This means that parents with younng children may have to pay more in the babysitting or daycare coats.As welll,the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored.
Besides going on trips with their parents,American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activties during the holidays.For example some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure holidays.Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have a lot to offer students who aren't usually interested in traditional PE activities.You can do courses in survival skills,for example.Students learn how to make a camp in the forest,which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design,film making and photography during the holidays.Finally,the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular.Students can practice their foreign languange skills and experience every day life in a different culture.

分析 短文大意:
不用说,美国的学生非常喜欢假期.他们每年有很多假期.除了国家法定节假日,如感恩节、总统日.学生在春季和和在暑假期间休息时间会更长.实际上,美国的孩子每年仅仅上大约180天的学.对学生们来说假期是美好的.然而,父母们认为这么多假期有优点也有缺点.
一方面,放假可以让一家人一起度过美好的时光.无论是在美国还是在外国,父母们会在六、七、八月期间从工作中抽出时间来陪他们的孩子去旅行.另一方面,学生的假期比父母们的假期多得多.这意味着,有小孩子的家庭可能不得不支付更多的保姆费或托儿费.漫长的暑假意味着学生有时会厌倦.
在美国,学生在假期里除了和父母旅行外还可以参加各种各样自己喜欢的活动.例如,一些孩子喜欢夏令营和户外冒险旅行.这样的旅行有冒险精神的对学生来说是非常好的.它们也给很多通常对传统的体育活动不感兴趣学生提供活动.比如说,你可以上生存技能课.学生学习如何在森林里支帐篷、知道什么野生食物是他们他们可以吃的、如何找到回到市中心的路.
那些对夏令营和户外冒险不感兴趣的学生可以参加假期的电脑游戏设计、电影制作和摄影课程.去国外的传统学校旅行总是很受欢迎的.学生可以练习自己的外语能力和拥有在不同文化中生活的经验.
