“The really big concern over the last decade,” according to Dr. David Whitehead, “is the relative loss of opportunities for children to engage in child-led play.” That's true. One of the exhausting aspects of modern parenting is that everything, even doing nothing, has to be purposeful. Now that “parenting” has become a verb — a state of doing, rather than simply being — it can fed unnatural to leave your children to their own devices. Yet it creates spaces in which good things can happen. The psychology lecturer is responding to a survey showing that 80 percent of parents of small children feel under pressure to fill their days with “structured” activities. This, says Dr. Whitehead, is a mistake. Leaving your children to play on their own or with their peers enables them to develop “self-regulation abilities”, which in turn leads to better academic achievement.
One afternoon last autumn, sitting on a bench doing no parenting at all, I suddenly felt I was getting the hang of it.
That afternoon, my sister and I took our children to the park. We had lots to talk about, so we sat down on a bench and drove the children away. After briefly complaining, the cousins wandered off and started jumping into puddles (水洼).
They jumped and jumped, and then one of them kicked some muddy water at the others. My sister and I, deep in conversation, didn't notice this. So my nephew became more adventurous. He scooped up a handful of mud and threw it on my son's head. My son caught his breath happily, wiped the mud out of his eyes, and threw one back. My nephew, who has a talent for naming things, puffed out his tiny chest and roared: “Let's play Muddikins!”
The rules of Muddikins are simple. You run around throwing mud at each other until everyone is so thickly coated that you can no longer be sure which child is whose. Nothing is learnt from it; nobody is improved. It is pure fun, of the sort that can only happen when parents drop the reins (缰绳). They did it. “ Whoa, that's so cool,” said one. “I wish my mum was like you.”
1.What is stressed in Paragraph 1?
A. Child-led play matters in the development of children.
B. Parents' concern over their children is unnecessary.
C. Children's activities should be well organized.
D. Parenting is everything in a family.
2.What does the author think of the behavior of the children in the puddles?
A. Amazing. B. Troublesome.
C. Adventurous. D. Worthwhile.
3.By saying “They did it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ______.
A. The reins were dropped.
B. She failed to distinguish her child.
C. The children learned from the Muddikins.
D. She confirmed Dr. David Whitehead's theory.
4.The text is mainly about the relationship between _____.
A. parents and children
B. individual and group
C. play and acquisition

Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment．
The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.
By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period．Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds．The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鹗) and corncrake (秧鸡)．All of these birds are subject to conservation action.
The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (苏格兰雷鸟)．These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.
Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news．It shows just what can be achieved．What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”
Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc．However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”
The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year．The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The decline of widespread birds is not worrying for the UK.
B．The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.
C．Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.
D．Half of common birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.
2.We can learn from the passage that Dr David Noble ________.
A．hopes that conservation organisations will change the way they work
B．is quite disappointed with the result of the new assessment
C．is losing confidence in conservation organizations’ action
D．has high hopes for the increase in bird population in Britain
3.Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery's words?
A．The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.
B．The UK should share their experience with other countries.
C．What conservation organisations do is far from satisfactory.
D．The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of common birds.
4.The passage is most likely to be found in a book about ________.
A．popular science B．historical events
C．nature D．society
5.The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people ________.
A．some good ways to protect rare birds
B．the differences between rare birds and common birds
C．the number of rare birds has increased over the last decade
D．some widespread birds in the UK are in great need of help
