A survey found that 83%of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire.Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason.Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms.This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. "How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to d them.Actually,I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,"Annie Collins,a travel architect and also part of the 翔中质量检测英语试唐第5页兵2兴 蜜蜂试卷 7 trend,says."Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves.It's not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this?You might think it's them but it's us."According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic,grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人). It's also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel.Unlike their children,who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off,grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life,prioritizing experiences and family.So knowing the kids are in great nands,moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries However,skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent.After all. grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetie.They surely treasurc the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren,but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves,for the travel should be a wi for everyone involved. 28.Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A.To show the growing interest in adventure. B.To share the pleasure in going fishing. C.To stress the importance of family ties. D.To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. 29.Which of the following may Annie Collins agree? A.Many parents are too strict with children. B.Children become mature when away from parents. C.Spending time with grandparents is better for kids. D.Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel. 30.What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel? A.They enjoy the moment to relax B.They feel less anxious and stressed. C.They miss their kids very much.D.They look forward to their own trip. 31.What does the author suggest grandparents do? A.Get kids involved in travel planning. B.Strengthen the bond with grandchildren. C.Make decisions in both sides'interests D.Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately D 期中质量检测英语试卷算6页共I2页 蜜蜂试卷 8 A.These questions invite others to respond with more than a"yes"or'no". B.If the person smiles back at you,then go over to them. C.Remember that they serve hundreds of people a day. D.Say thank you in,public as much as possible.
