Passage 1
2022-2023学年下学期·江苏泰州·高一姜堰中学校考期中
When my children haven’t played outside enough, I can tell their energy levels will go up and the noise will increase in the house. I feel upset, so I tell them it’s time to go outside. Usually, they complain and come up with reasons why staying in is better, but I insist. Within minutes, they’re out and running around. Sometimes I give them a minimum time limit, say 20 minutes, before they could come back inside. 1
Kids need consistent outdoor play. There are many benefits, and I’d like to share some of them.
Outdoor play is good for kids’ physical health. 2 Movements like rolling and jumping also stimulate a child’s vestibular system. It’s the organizer for other senses and affects things like balance and space awareness. Children need to stimulate it regularly, and outdoor play allows this to happen naturally.
Outdoor play is beneficial mentally. It makes kids happy. You will see it when they come inside, tired but satisfied. It also gives children a chance to be in a space without fixed rules. There are no requirements to be quiet or stay clean. 3 It helps result in imaginative play and a creative flow state.
4 There’s so much active learning that goes on outdoors. When kids get outdoors, they take the information they’ve heard in the classroom and apply it to real life. For example, building a bridge across a hole that will support the weight or getting the right consistency of mud by mixing dirt and water. They’ll also do better in school after spending more time outside.
Outdoor play is of great importance, so encourage your kids to take part in it. 5 You can also take them to beautiful parks and forests on weekends. Your kids will get hours of enjoyment, and the benefits are far-reaching.
A. It also has educational value.
B. Make your yard more interesting for them.
C. Don’t ask them to follow too many restrictions.
