阅读理解(二)　[见学生用书《热点冲刺组合练》P8] A People believe that toys are mainly made for kids.When we grow up，we should put away such childish things. But now many grown-ups are getting them out again. According to data from the market research firm NPD Group，toys bought by people over the age of 12 account for 23 percent of the European market.Among them，adults are still the main force.In 2021，Shanghai's Toy Show attracted tens of thousands of visitors，including many grown-ups. But why are adults interested in these seemingly “childish” things? “Toys can bring back happy childhood memories，” noted website SWNS Digital.Many adults are under a lot of pressure at home and at work.Items that they were familiar with in childhood can remind them of easier times. Rob Willner，25，is one such person who finds comfort in items from the past.At his home in London，he keeps two boxes of loose childhood Lego tucked away under a bed，as well as different large “sentimental” models on shelves in his house. When he comes home after a hard day，he often plays with the toys.“It not only reminds me of the playful side of life，but also helps me to keep perspective(客观判断力)．Lego isn't great，but it's fun，and helps you to think about what's really important，” he told The Telegraph. There is another reason for the rise in popularity of toys among adults.This pastime offers pressure-free creativity.Even hobbies such as baking and painting can be shadowed by the worry that the results will fail to please other people.Dressing up a doll or playing with a model train set doesn't come with a lot of pressure to please others. It seems that adults are no longer taking their childhood freedom for granted.After all，just as UK artist David Hockney said，“Play is serious.” (　D　)1.Why are toys popular among adults according to website SWNS Digital?
