Whatever happened to the familiar scenes from the past of children with grass-stained knees wrestling on the front lawn, or chasing after grasshoppers and toads while their parents chatted amicably with the neighbours over the fence? This idyllic picture is fading fast as today s children are spending increasingly more time indoors in front of a screen Writer Richard Louv coined a name for this trend of humans losing touch with their environment as they plug in their technology He calls it “nature deficit disorder” in his 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods Louv introduces the idea that the rise in behavioral problems and learning disabilities, particularly among boys aged to 12, may be directly linked to the fact that children spend so little time outdoors these days According to Louv, kids who spend time outdoors are less likely to get sick, or become stressed or aggressive They’re also more flexible, perform better in school, and are generally happier and healthier Author and professor, Bryan Caplan, says the trend is partly due to parents’ desire to shelter their children: “One of the hardest parts of parenthood is worrying that something terrible will happen to your child The news is full of stories about parents who failed to shield their child from the dangers of the world - enough to make anyone sick.” But in desiring to keep kids safe, parents may be unwittingly putting them at risk for a great number of issues, from obesity and other health problems to learning and behavioral challenges Various groups and individuals, such as the Trust for Public Land and Michelle Obama are working to entice kids to spend more time outside and give them a taste of the old days Society has changed to such an extent that parents feel uncomfortable letting their children roam freely outdoors It is not only the appeal of computers and video games that has driven children inside, but also anxiety over traffic, crime, and child predators However, with more public awareness of the issue, it may not be too late to turn back the clock [Source: AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 5, Workbook 2nd Edition, Oxford, 2015] Question 32 In his book, Richard Louv tries to explain A the consequences of playing too many video games CODE 056 B the news media’s influence on people’s parenting styles C the recent increase in developmental issues among children D the effect of technology on health and education Question 33 The writer expresses the concern that many parents A teach their children bad habits B are unaware of the dangers of children staying indoors C not monitor children’s time online D spend too much time indoors themselves Question 34 The idiom “to turn back the clock” is closest in meaning to A to remember times in the past B to use the old-age method C to go back to the past ways done D to let bygones be bygones Question 35 Which of the following words is synonymous of “to entice”?
