Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, its their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.” Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. Its time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesnt look like productive time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”Its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”.

Travel.CGlobal Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you pletely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a bination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of garbage in garbage out.”Mr. Brown says this is a mon human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it isgoing to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in peoples cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS mands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.9. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _. A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage10. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving license C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.11. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse drivers?A. Wrong maps.B. Out-dated maps.C. Difficult instructions.D. Timing of GPS mands.12. What would be the best title for the text? A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient. D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved.DYou might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in xx, there wont be any candy, sugary cereal or fast-food mercials (广告) aimed at kids. The Walt Disney pany has bee the first major media pany to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the childrens entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldnt see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldnt have believed you, ” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity (肥胖). The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids menus at theme parks and resorts (度假胜地). Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies (果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt. In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that dont meet Disneys nutritional standards will be banned from the panys kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled. Leslie Goodman, Disneys senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a pany that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options. Disney isnt the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity. 13.What will the Walt Disney pany do from xx? A. Produce more and better cartoons for young kids. B. Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.C. Stop broadcasting advertisements for junk food on TV.D. Provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs. 14.What Michelle Obama said suggests that while watching cartoons, _. A. kids didnt believe what the mercials saidB. kids enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk foodC. kids find pleasure in watching fast-food mercials D. kids were to see a lot of fast-food mercials on TV15.According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _. A. watch fewer cartoons B. drink less sugary drinksC. not go to movie theaters D. take more physical exercise第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many people, the start of the day maybe isnt your favorite time. 16 Try at least one of these tomorrow Stretch (伸展) every part of your body for 15 seconds.
