Make-believe games like this were
14、my favourite, and I remember that many summer days were (32) spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy. largelyEvery time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say, some of the stories got quite (33) . Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a bizarrescience ficti

When were adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we
20、could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, “the grass is always greener on the other side.“ It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they cant have. Its our nature. Thats why its good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childh
21、ood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, “What do you want to be when you grow up?“ We repeatedly tell them, “You can do/have that when youre older.“ We continually encourage them, “When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams
22、come true.“ Its no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them. Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and exp
23、lore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all devel
24、oped and nurtured when were children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world. Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but its often forgotten as parents push their c
25、hildren to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. Its important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as theyre playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or natur
26、alists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed
27、 and might lead to an interest in engineering. Its true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because theyre children. Its how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be somet
28、hing theyre not? 41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage? A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they cant have. B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. C. Children should be free to play the day away. D. Its true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. 42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with? A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play. B. It is important for children to play and act young.
