It was Friedrich Nietzsche who wrote "Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain". Although the words of the German philosopher will certainly have no effect on the millions of schoolchildren over the Easter holiday, their parents can find comfort in his words as they struggle to keep their kids entertained for a fortnight.
An academic has set out to prove that boredom-far from being a bad things-is a naturally occurring emotion that should not be suppressed （压抑）. Dr Richard Ralley, a psychology lecturer at Edge Hill College in Ormskirk, Lancashire, has conducted a study of boredom.
He said, "Boredom can be a good thing. In psychology we think of emotions as being functional. Fear, anger and jealousy all serve a purpose but they’re painted in a bad light even though they exist for a reason. It’s the same with boredom, which also has a bad name. We get bored because we get fed up when we have nothing to do and feel the need to be productive. We ,feel bad when we’re not productive and that’s what boredom is associated with. Boredom is something, it’s not just switching off. It can be useful. When there’s nothing rewarding going on we keep energy, so that when we want to do it again we can. It may be better to leave children to their own devices and let them recover from their last term at school."
Dr Ralley, 35, thought of the study, titled Boredom, in 1999 but has only recently started collecting ease studies. To date, he has received information from more than 300 young adults who have written about boredom. He hopes to present his findings in the summer.
"Come the holidays, parents needn’t sacrifice kids’ free time on activities. Instead get them involved with something you’re doing. You can handle boredom in a way that can get them to do something challenging. Boredom is natural, so let’s deal with it."

B. We get excited when we have nothing to do and we are not productive.
C. Dr Ralley’s findings about boredom have been presented to the public.

4. The underlined phrase "leave children to their own devices" in Paragraph 3 most probably means______

The women can then shop in 14 while the men play.
According to Paco, these differences can 15 back to the “hunter-gatherer”period of human history. Men were hunters. They focused on stalking 16 and then killing them. Women 17 wild vegetables and fruits. They needed to be 18 , to talk to each other and to cover as much ground as possible.
