【文章內容簡介】 from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids39。 lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers plain about teaching tired kids in the classroom. Most children take part in afterschool clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music, and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same. Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, petition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always paring them with other children. It39。s crazy. People shouldn39。t push their kids so hard.” Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselve when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids39。 lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.”Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On the one hand, children need anized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax. And they need time to do things by themselves. 或許你應該學會放松！ 對卡西泰勒的 3個孩子來說，生活是非常忙碌的。在學校他們已經夠忙碌的了?？墒?，放學后，卡西仍然要帶兩個男孩去踢足球打籃球。然后她必須送她的女兒去上鋼琴課。疲倦的孩子們直到晚上 7點才回家。匆匆忙忙地吃完晚飯，便到了做家庭作業(yè)的時候了。 泰勒婦夫看起來像很多美國和英國的父母一 樣。他們帶他們的孩子從一項活動到另一項活動，并且盡最大可能地適合孩子們的生活。醫(yī)生說很多孩子的壓力太大。在教室里老師因為教疲倦的孩子而抱怨。 大多數(shù)孩子都參加課后俱樂部。活動包括運動、學習語言、音樂和數(shù)學課。愛出風頭的父母已經不稀罕，現(xiàn)在，父母好像給孩子增加的壓力更大了。父母看見其他孩子做許多事情，他們感到他們自己的孩子也應該做相同的事。 倫敦一位有 3個孩子的母親琳達米勒完全了解這樣的壓力?！霸谝恍┘彝ィ偁帍姆浅Ｐ〉哪挲g就開始了”，她說。“當孩子們還很小的時候，母親們就送他們去參加各種各樣的學習班。并且 她們總是拿自己的孩子與其他孩子比較。真是發(fā)瘋了。人們不應該加此嚴重地壓他們的孩子”。 艾麗斯格林醫(yī)生同意她的看法。她還說這些孩子長大后可能發(fā)現(xiàn)為自己的將來做打算是很難的。“父母試圖為自己的孩子們設計生活。當這些孩子是成年人時，他們可能發(fā)現(xiàn)為他們自己計劃事情是困難的”。父母們應該學會把更多的時間留給孩子自己。一方面，孩子需要集體性的活動。另一方面，他們也需要時間和自由放松。并且他們需要時間自己做事情。 新目標英語八年級 Go for it 下冊 15單元 (Units 15課文 +翻譯 ) 6 Unit 3 What were you doing when the UFO arrived? 飛碟到達時你正在做什么？ Section A — 1b Reporter： So, what were you doing when the UFO arrived? 那么，當飛碟到來時你正在做什么 ?
