These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.

The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful. However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.

Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”

Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”

1. What’s the common problem for Chinese and American families?

2. What’s Cathy Taylor’s idea about so many after-school activities?

3. What does Linda Miller think about after-school activities?

4. What’s Dr. Alice Green’s opinion about afterschool activities?

參加很多課外活動是*和美國家庭的共同問題，本文向我們介紹凱西 · 泰勒、琳達 · 米勒和愛麗絲 · 格林博士三人對此的看法。

根據 “These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes…However, this doesn’t only happen in China.” 和 “The Taylors are a typical American family.” 可知，參加很多課外活動是*和美國家庭的共同問題。結合文章二、三、四段內容可知，凱西 · 泰勒認為這些活動對她孩子的未來很重要，但她想減少他們的一些活動；琳達 · 米勒認為把他們的小孩送到各種各樣的課程是瘋狂和不公平的；愛麗絲 · 格林博士説，所有這些活動都會給孩子們帶來很多壓力，她認為擁有快樂的孩子更重要。故填 Taking many after-school activities is the common problem for Chinese and American families. Cathy Taylor believes these activities are important for her children’s future but she wants to cut out a few of their activities. Linda Miller thinks sending their small kids to all kinds of classes is crazy and unfair. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children and she thinks it’s even more important to have happy children. (words: 77)
