skills.They believe it helps their kids to better compete in life.However,such a busy life can place great pressure on students.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.Its crazy.I dont think thats fair.Why dont they just let their kids be kids?People shouldnt push their kids so hard.”The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylors 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 childrens future.I really want them to be successful.”However,the tired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m.They have a quick dinner,and then its time for homework.Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs 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 its normal to want successful children,its even more important to have happy children.”1342阅读策略策略2:Guessing the Meaning When reading something for the first time,do not worry about the words you dont know.Use the context(上下文上下文)to help you guess the
