Question

阅读理解 　　During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another．Understandably so．Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more．But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it's their school work which suffers the most．“After school, if they're busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they'll feel sleepy is in the classroom．Your child needs free time．So if you're filling up that after school time, then it's during the day they're going to be taking a break．” 　　Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there's a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away．“Relaxing time is important for children．It's time just to do the things they want to do．A child can go up to their room, or they can play around．It doesn't look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn't be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day．It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that's gone on that day．” 　　It's hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons．After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that．However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them．“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we're doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill．”So choose your children's activities wisely．It may be one of the best things you've ever done for your kids…and for the family driver!

[　　] A． They can get bored easily about everything． B． They might have no time to do the homework． C． They might not pay much attention to learning． D． They can not easily focus on learning during the day． (2) What should we think of children's playing around aimlessly?

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	推理判断题。根据第1段So if you're filling up that after school time, then it's during the day they're going to be taking a break．说明课外活动太多他们在白天学习时就难于集中注意力。
(2)	推理判断题。根据第2段But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day．It helps a child…可知孩子有时自由地到处活动一下对孩子是有帮助的。
(3)	细节题。根据第3段…When we get our children in too many activities…, then what we're doing is to setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill说明孩子学得越多，就什么也学不会，因为他们不可能把精力或注意力投入到每个方面。
(4)	解析：主旨大意题。根据整篇文章所谈论的观点明智选择孩子需要学习的内容或从事的活动很重要，孩子是不可能什么都能学会的，因此选择Choose activities for your children wisely比较能很好的表现文章的主题，这在文章的最后一段也有说明。 　　文章大意：父母总是希望孩子什么都学，殊不知孩子在课外进行了大量的活动后，课堂上就精力不济了。而且什么都学常常意味着什么也学不会，因此正确、明智地选择孩子学习或从事哪些方面的活动非常重要。
