Something strange is going on. Between 1997 and 2001, the amount of time that American children aged 8 to 10 spent on outdoor activities declined by 50%. Richard Louv, the author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder (自然缺失症), believes this is a factor in the recent rise in childhood depression, attention-deficit disorder and obesity (肥胖).

What’s keeping kids indoors? Louv covers a variety of reasons, starting with the fact that 57 million Americans now live in homes governed by homeowners’ associations or other neighborhood groups, many of which have rules that restrict outdoor free play. School free play outside is becoming a thing of the past thanks to concerns over lawsuits from parents and the increased focus on testing. Fewer children are playing alone even in their own backyards, due to parents’ fears about “stranger danger”.

Of course, there’s always soccer, right? Unfortunately, the explosion of organized sports has only served to make matters worse, without providing much of a benefit. Many towns are choosing to destroy areas of natural parkland to make room for more playing fields. But the increase in sports has gone hand-in-hand with that famous rise in childhood obesity. Something isn’t working.

Louv presents studies that show how nature can help heal traumatized (受到创伤的) children, fascinate kids who suffer from ADHD and encourage physical exercise and social interaction. He also reminds us of the value in the kind of skill-building experiences that are unique to the outdoors like camping, fishing or constructing a tree house. We’re also in danger of losing an entire generation of potential environmental activists.

And guess what? Adults have nature-deficit disorder too. So don’t just send your children outside to play. Go with them! Don’t forget to grab a fishing rod, a sleeping bag or a jar to collect fireflies on your way out. Just be back in time for dinner, okay?

阅读表达（山东、天津、江西、湖南、上海题型）：

阅读下面短文并用英语回答问题（请注意题目后面的词数要求）。

[1] Enjoy the summer break, but don’t forget to pick up a book — often.

[2] Summer is a good time to help the very youngest kids hold onto basic literacy (读写能力) skills. Tweens and teens can curl up (蜷缩) with a book without fear of having to write a report about it.

[3] A collective “hooray” echoing (回荡) around Puget Sound signals the end of the school year, but the prospect (前景) of students falling behind in school in the absence of teacher-led learning is real.

[4] Summer learning loss is a problem schools must deal with every September. The first four to six weeks after the start of a new school year are often spent re-teaching students skills they learned in the previous grade but forgot over the summer, according to the National Summer Learning Association, a research group once affiliated to Johns Hopkins University.

[5] A 2011 RAND Corporation study found that low-income students can lose two months of reading skills, while higher-income students actually make slight academic gains over the summer — benefiting from parents who can send them to enrichment camps and on educational vacations.

[6] Most of Washington’s school districts offer summer-literacy programs. The Seattle Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is offered at most of its community branches. Research shows that students who read at least four or five books over the summer ______ on fall reading tests.

[7] The importance of strong literacy skills cannot be overstated. The ability to read is a requisite (必要条件) for mastering other core (核心的) subjects, including math.

[8] Summer-education programs have shifted from being for students who failed a class. Summer-enrichment and learning camps are now for everyone.

[9] The Program for International Student Assessment tests 15-year-olds from 65 countries every three years in reading, math and science. The 2009 test focused on reading and showed that US students’ reading scores had stayed flat since the test was first given in 2000. We can do better. Our kids need to pick up a book or two or more this summer.
