After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children dont get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and its time for homework.The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. People shouldnt push their kids so hard.Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.（1）Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to .A . math classesB . language schoolC . sport clubD . piano lessons（2）Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom?A .

But are everybodys dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams，and thousands of students across China took part in it.What are the hopes of teenagers?We received several different answers to the question：What would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers?Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said theyd like to go on exciting trips; one student said shed love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said theyd like to be able to fly!ConclusionIt was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. Besides，students dream of very different things：good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams； one day they may just come true.（1）Some students would like to start work to _as soon as possible.A . find jobs they enjoyB . achieve their dreamsC . to help look after their familiesD . make money to go to university（2）What is important to students about their work they do?A .
