Old-Fashioned Play―For Pay
Kids !Come have a ball! Or 60,000 of them! There’s a new type of business franchise that is appearing in shopping malls and neighborhoods across
As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and dirty, the for-profit centers offer clean, safe supervised activity as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters’ physical fitness, usually for a fee of around 5$ an hour. “Playgrounds are dirty ,not supervised,” says Dick Guggenheimer ,owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers, N.Y., part of Kansas City-based chain, “We are indoors; we are padded（铺上软垫）;parents can feel their child is safe”.
In order to satisfy the need of two-earner families ,the new franchise stayed open in the evenings ,long after traditional public playgrounds have grown dark and unusable .However these new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care centers .Parents are expected go stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off. But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services. At some of the Discovery Zones, parents can register their children in special supervised programs, then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner. If there is a problem ,Mom and Dad are called.
The most fun of all, though, is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-earner families and two-hour commutes; play with their kids. That ,at least ,is old-fashioned, even at per-hour rates.

February 4, Sunday Fine
This morning our class organized an environmental protection activity in the nearby park.
It was a market day, so people and traffic had been pouring into the town since early morning. 21 it was an old town, even the main street was very 22 and soon became overcrowded. There was not enough 23 for all the people on the sidewalk at the roadside, 24 they overflowed into the road, 25 danger to their lives from 26 cars and buses, the drivers of 27 were constantly blowing their horns(喇叭) to 28 people to get out of their 29 .
Yet it was a(n) 30 scene. Peasants walked along the street, their heads piled high with baskets or beautifully woven blankets which they hoped to 31 to the townsfolk. Men with carts 32 their way along, shouting their goods at the top of their 33 . They were selling apples, oranges and grapes the 34 of their fields. 35 it all, women in bright summer clothes made their way, laughing and talking, 36 children rushed in and out of the crowds screaming with laughter when they didn’t ask for something they could not have, or crying with 37 because they were lost.
The noise went on all day. People did not even stop for a meal, but preferred to buy bits of meat cooked over a fire or bread or ice-cream from the street sellers. The 38 from this and from all the activities of the day began to collect in the street. And finally, when night at last came, the street 39 and only the rubbish 40 sadly blowing in the cooling night wind.
