Question

【题目】How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here's a good example.

Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers.They live in the UK with their two daughters: elevenyearold Amy and nineyearold Ella.Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch potatoes”．So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted.Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside.Although Mr.and Mrs.Meek were not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.It turned out that the two sisters really had a good time joining in the activities.

Every holiday and weekend, whether it's sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on.The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities.They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity.“Our__friends__spend__a__lot__of__their__free__time__doing__things__which__are__harmful__to__their__health.Luckily,__we've__had__the__chance__to__experience__something__different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
