Last month，my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task：a 32-day，5，232-mile camping trip with children in our Volkswagen van，without "high-tech" to occupy the children．
   It was the screen less journey that showered me with doubts．But is "boredom" senseless？My friend Renee，who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times，calls boredom the mother of creativity．She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time．In a recently published paper，researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trance like （發(fā)呆的） state helps recharge the mind and is "central to learning and creativity"．I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter．Neither do I dislike high-tech．But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies （木訥的人）．
   On Day 1，our 7-year-old son announced "Texas is so boring!"．The next day，struggling against his seat belt，he yelled he couldn't take much more of this．His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals．On Day 3，he began count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky．I often joined the kids in the back，where we did thumb-and-toe wrestle．With well-known mountains ahead，my husband told the children the past legends of them．"Arizona is not as boring as Texas，" our son declared．
   I hope the trip gave kids some lazy，unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up．I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time．

  • 1．Ten years ago I used to be very fit （健康的）．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends．I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks．In those days I didn't earn very much．I had a job in an office．It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing．
    Then，about eight years ago，I got a much better job．The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer．I bought a car and drove to work every day．I began to take people out to lunch．And I began to put on weight，too．I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more．
    There's a lot of stress （壓力） in my job．Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to．For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several．I started smoking a lot，too．I never used to smoke at all．

  • 3．Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic（混亂的）society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．
       Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness．Located in the middle of the North Atlantic，with Greenland as its nearest neighbor，Iceland is free from the taboos（禁忌）that cause so much trouble elsewhere．For instance，people who divorce are not looked down upon by society．
       Icelanders are offsprings（后代）of the Vikings，a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century．This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland．Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad，and most speak English．
       Perhaps as a result，Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system．
       "Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，" said the Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde． "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude-- that if you work hard，anything can be done．"
       Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and musicians．There's Sigur Ros，a post-rock band，and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．
       "Iceland has harsh（惡劣的） nature，with its bitter ever-changing weather，" said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist． "We cannot escape it．So we find ways________．We have to have a rich internal（內(nèi)在的）life to fill the empty spaces．"

    （1）It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about
    ．
    A．social problems
    B．happiness
    C．a(chǎn) unique welfare system
    D．modern way of life
    （2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for Icelanders' happiness？

    A．Geographic location．
    B．A rich internal life．
    C．National pride．
    D．Freedom from taboos．
    （3）The most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is
    ．
    A．to get rid of it
    B．to have it changed
    C．to get away from it
    D．to live with it
