人教版八年级上册-寒假提升习题 Chapter 11Part 1 Reading Maybe You Should Learn to Relax These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after—school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China. The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future.
