【解析】关于如何对待学生做完作业后的时间安排问题，米克一家为大家提供了一种解决方案—丰富的户外运动。

【1】句意：这里有一个好案例。前面发出了一个疑问：学生们做完作业了怎么度过自己的空余时光？，下文是一个例子，故这里填“例子”example。

【2】句意：蒂姆和凯瑞都是老师。“两者都”为“both”，这里是说他们都是老师，故填both。

【3】句意：最近，米克家庭成为了全国的焦点。这个家庭完成了100项户外运动，“成为焦点”为“become the focus”，结合现在完成时，使用“become”的过去分词，故这里填become。

【4】句意：米克夫妇不想让他们的孩子把空余的时间都花在电视机前面。这篇文章开头就在发问“如何安排学生的空余时间”，所以这里米克夫妇肯定是不想自己的孩子在“空余的”（spare）时间一直看电视，故填spare。

【5】句意：所以大约一年前，米克一家决定看电视和玩电脑游戏是不被允许的。米克夫妇对这种行为是反对的，故这两种行为是不被允许的（were not allowed）,故填“过去分词”allowed构成被动语态。

【6】句意：尽管米克先生和夫人不是户外活动的粉丝，但他们参加了所有的活动，以鼓励他们的女儿。他们设置的是100项任务，结合前面他们在全国出名的原因，得知这里他们参加的就是“活动”（activities），“take part in activities”指“参加活动”，故填activities。

【7】句意：每一个假期或者周末，无论是天晴，下雨还是下雪…，这里是表示“无论那种情况的天气”，or表示或者，还是。故这里填or。

【8】句意：米克一家将开始尝试他们清单上的活动，包括远足，帆船….，“hiking, sailing, climbing , skiing,”是清单上具体的活动，所以这里需要填“including”表示“包括….（的活动）”，故这里填including。

【9】句意：这两个小女孩不仅度过了美好的时光，而且还从这些活动中学到了很多技巧。“not only…but also…”为“不仅…而且…”，故这里填also。

【10】句意：他们甚至能够站在学校面前为慈善事业发表演讲。“make a speech”为“发表演讲”，后面最后一句是他们的演讲的内容，故这里填speech。
