【解析】

本文主要讲述很多家庭过着忙碌的生活，孩子们忙着写作业和学校活动等；父母忙着做饭工作等。很多家庭没有时间一起吃饭。为了改变这种现状，社区决定抽出一晚上时间，称为“家庭之夜”，父母孩子聚到一起做各种活动。

【1】根据第一段“Some families do not have time to eat together.” 一些家庭没有时间一起吃饭，以及“After three weeks of planning, we took one night off.”，经过三周的计划之后，我们抽出一晚上时间休息。可推知我们社区决定改变家庭忙碌的情况。故选B。

【2】根据上文“We call it ‘Family Night’”.可推知下文对“family night”作出解释 “It was a night for families to spend time together.”这是一个家人一起共度时光的晚上。故选D。

【3】根据上文“we decided to turn off our TVs.”我们决定关掉电视，以及下文“Answering machines（自动应答录音电话机）said, ‘Please call back tomorrow.’”可推知，此空是We also decided not to answer the telephone.我们也决定不接电话，由自动应答录音电话机回复“明天再回电话”。故选C。

【4】根据上文“Storytelling and card games were the most popular.” 讲故事和卡片类游戏很受欢迎以及下文“Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV.”可知父母和孩子可以在一起玩儿游戏。故选A。
