    Xiao Qiang，a 13-year-old Chinese boy, has too many activities. His father drives him to practice music, drawing,maths and English four afternoons a week.

    “More and more kids become unhappy       they have too many activities to do.” said Mr. Wang      expert （专家）of child development. More than 75% of them said       they wished they had more free time to play.

    “Over-scheduling(过量的课程安排) is a growing       for Chinese families ”, said Mr. Wang. It is not       for both kids and their parents. More families eat dinner       so that they can go to drawing lessons or piano lessons on time. We all know it is important      kids to learn how to relax. If they don't learn that now, it will be more difficult to       when they get older. Kids need      to relax. Parents should       about what is right for kids .

    Americans love sports--they love to play them, to watch them on television, and to talk about them. But this hobby sometimes has serious results-- at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbows(肘部) and in this way they develop "tennis elbow". Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.

    A few months ago Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation(手术) or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn't know what to do.

    Then Simmons learned about "video operation". Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.

    For this operation, her doctor didn't have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens(镜头)inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.

    Simmons started walking five days after her operation. Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. She can play volleyball again."
