39、原因，而孩子们空闲时间少也正是作者忧虑的问题, 故可推知此题选A.B是作者在第2段括号里反驳过的观点;C错在more and more time,而且作者对孩子看电视也不完全反对；孩子们事实上要做更多家务，故D 错。（5） .We can infer from the passage that.（分数：14.2）A.extracurricular activities promote childrens intelligenceB.most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched offC.efforts to get kids
