During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another.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，it’s their school work that suffers the most，“After school，if they’re busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom.Your child needs free time.So if you’re filling up that after school time，then it’s during the day they’re going to be taking a break.”
Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children.It’s time just to do the things they want to do.Children can go up to their room，or they can play around.It doesn’t look like productive time；parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow，are they ever learning 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 that’s gone on that day.”
It’s 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 great activities in the arts or sports is 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 we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely.It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!
1．What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?
A．They can get bored easily about everything.
B．They might have no time to do the homework.
C．They might not pay much attention to learning.
D．They can not easily focus on learning during the day.
2．What does Professor Claire McDermott think of children’s playing around?
A．It is productive.
B．It is a bad habit.
C．It is helpful.
D．It is a waste of time.
3．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Don’t be children’s drivers after school.
B．Let children learn something from various subjects.
C．Make your children learn as much as possible.
D．Choose activities for your children wisely.

(2016·安徽名校高三第二学期模拟考试)
Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference of materialistic influence.We can also term it as “self-raising”．In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child.Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things.Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary，otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her.This brings about a feeling of self-dependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.
This is a natural way of learning.When a child is left to learn in a natural environment，the child’s natural development takes place.Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally.Watching TV，playing video games or joining classes of dance，swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.
Here creativity of their mind is developed.They explore ideas.The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature，so can our kids.So let our children play in the garden，to watch flowers，plants，birds，butterflies and other gifts of nature.In the classes of dance，swimming etc.their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed.In these classes they are overburdened and can’t enhance their creativity.So let them play in the open air or garden withont any burden instead of joining classes.
Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them.But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them.Their skill to learn and understand comes out.Maybe the process is slow，but it will be their exploration，which will make them self-dependent，and self-capable to learn.
4．In slow parenting，parents________.
A．give the whole directions to what their children do
B．keep a close watch over their children
C．give their children freedom to do what they think proper
D．set limits to what their children do
5．What is the main advantage of slow parenting according to the passage?
A．Keeping children away from materialistic influence.
B．Arousing children’s curiosity.
C．Making children interested in exploring nature
D．Helping children to be independent.
6．We can infer from the third paragraph that________.
A．exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting
B．children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals
C．slow parenting should be done in a logical way
D．children should join some classes
7．The author believes joining various classes________.
A．can train children’s ability of solving problems
B．is no good to children’s creativity
C．is a necessary part of slow parenting
D．also helps improve children’s creativity
8．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Different parenting styles.
B．The requirements of slow parenting.
C．Slow parenting and its advantages.
D．The author’s attitude towards slow parenting.
