10、ed more at the hospital than I did at my house. I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills. She never once complained or pitied herself, her determined spirit was shining through. After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular hospital treatment, Andrea was able
11、to come home. She missed several months of school. so it was hard for her to catch up. Andrea had tasks to accomplish, and no matter how hard it was. she stuck with them until t he job was done.

16、me of us are already complaining about summers end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young childs schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a childs day; it is saying no to the
17、 hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术). Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go t
18、o preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?A generous explanati
19、on is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the
20、time we know we should be giving them ourselves. David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a childs confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to
21、 do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.A childs time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until its time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority
22、of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. Thats too much for a five-year old. Finances,
23、of course, do limit some parents. But lets be honest with ourselves our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young childs.1. The author holds that its a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _.A. parents are stuck in numerous choicesB. activities
