Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 40 years.I have four brothers and sisters. We used to play board games in the living room, spend days in the street with friends, and ride bikes to tour around the town .

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are getting smaller, as more and more families have only one child. It's common for both parents to work outside, and it seems that no one could possibly afford(承担得起) to have more than one child.As a result, today's children spend much of their time alone__Another great change is that children today spend a lot of their free time at home, inside. That's because parents worry about real or imagined danger, so they wouldn't let their children play outside by themselves.

Finally, the way children play is completely different. Almost every home has at least one computer and many children have a mobile phone. Mobile games have replaced （代替）board games and other interesting activities of my childhood. However, the fact is that playing mobile games alone can make people feel lonelier.

Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do .

1.Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. (不超过20个汉字)

__________________

2.Why don't parents today allow their children to play outside alone?

__________________

3.What kind of games do children today often play?

__________________

4.In the passage, the underlined word "they" refers to ___________

5.What do you think of your childhood? Why do you think so?

Since last year I've given up driving and taken the bus to work every day, which has aroused quite a bit of curiosity among colleagues because few people take a bus to work in my office.

My easy explanation is that I'm tired of driving, and taking the bus allows me to think before my work starts. a day’s , hard, work I ,also, a ride, like,to ,be given , home, after, .

Perhaps everybody would be more convinced(使信服） if I told them that I take the bus because it's quite cheap, while driving a car is expensive and inconvenient.A bus trip costs 0.4 yuan or 6-7 cents with the use of a stored value card（储值卡）, which is almost free if you consider a Coke costs five times that or more. Beijing has a flat-rate subway fare with unlimited transfers of 2 yuan per single-trip ticket. I would take the more comfortable subway, if it was closer to my home and workplace.

But most of my colleagues, especially the younger ones who want to own a car, have responded with disbelief, as they picture me walking to the bus stop under smoggy skies. I believe they would be amused(被逗乐的）if they read the findings of a study of British workers, which found that going to work by bus or train has become very popular. Because most journeys will not only include walking to the bus station or stop, but also include time to read or talk to friends while traveling according to recent British media reports.

2.Why have the writer given up driving to work?

3.Why do workers in Britain go to work by bus or train?
