Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my
son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered
that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.
Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored
Facing their children’s complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there’s been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"
What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter’s &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.
Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.
I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁药)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (处方).
My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.

阅读快车系列答案Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional(偶尔) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
【小题1】 Which of the following statements is true?
| A．People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. |
| B．Few people who work in London prefer to live in the country. |
| C．One disadvantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. |
| D．The people living outside London must like gardens. |
| A．getting a small flat with a garden |
| B．having a small flat with a garden |
| C．renting a small flat without a garden |
| D．buying a small flat without a garden |
| A．who live in the country |
| B．who have spent time working in the garden |
| C．who work inside the city |
| D．who sometimes walk in the parks |
| A．their life was meaningless |
| B．their life was invaluable |
| C．they didn’t deserve a happy life |
| D．they were not worthy of their happy life |
I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me．I hid behind my mother she hid behind her grandmother， 2 to look at each other．Soon we lost the 3 and started playing with each other．
In the 7th grade，I first intentionally distanced myself from her．At that time, she was 4 family problems and I deserted her to be with me because she got _ 5 than ever before．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had_ 6 ．However，every summer we couldalways sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was too devoted in high school to 7 she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then I didn’t know why，but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed（诊断）with clinical depression．At first，I was very 8 ，but we still stayed in __9___．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically 10 __ her and people were calling her 11 ．
Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I 12 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were ___13 me．”
We both cried．And a kind of 14 that I learn from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as warm as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someonethere．If you desert them，you will only be 15 yourself.
