The program asks children to exercise for 60 minutes each day. Children can do it on the playground, in parks or at home. And they can even just walk around the street with their families. Children needn’t finish 60 minutes of sports all at once. They can take a rest if they are tired. “Let’s Move!” also helps children think about the food they eat. They can learn to plan their meals and shopping—to have healthier food. Some children even start planting vegetables and fruit at home. The program will help more kids stay healthy and stop them from becoming too heavy. 四、听力填空（每小题1分, 共5分） 本题你将听到一个语篇，请根据所听内容，完成下面的句子，并将获取的信息写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Life in the Past and Today Two hundred years ago ★People would wake up when the sun came up and spend most of their time working on ____16____. ★People made their own clothes and had to ____17____ everything by hand.

They do all kinds of things for their families and kids. But they have little time for themselves. Do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily (日常的) life? Here is the result of a new survey (调查) of 100 hard-working mothers, which shows their daily timetables (时间表). From the result, we know that they spend about 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families. They spend more than ten hours a day cooking, cleaning the house, getting children ready for school, and helping them with homework. Cooking takes up about one hour and nine minutes a day. Washing clothes takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school, about 53 minutes putting them to bed, and about 47 minutes helping them with homework. However, mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours’ sleep at night. 83% are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life. So mothers are busy and tired every day. All of us should do something to show our love for our mothers no matter whether (无论) we are young or old. On Mother’s Day, we shouldn’t forget to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to our mothers. When we have time, try our best to do some chores and let our mothers sit down and have a rest. 54.

You know Mom or Dad won’t be there to do it for us. As for me, I often do housework. For example, I help take out the rubbish every day and clean my room on weekends.

Anyone can find a way to be close to nature. As Alan Watts once wrote, “You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it. You are not a stranger here.” The idea of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t experienced a feeling of peace. when walking in a forest?

They do all kinds of things for their families and kids. But they have little time for themselves. Do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily (日常的) life? Here is the result of a new survey (调查) of 100 hard-working mothers, which shows their daily timetables (时间表). From the result, we know that they spend about 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families. They spend more than ten hours a day cooking, cleaning the house, getting children ready for school, and helping them with homework. Cooking takes up about one hour and nine minutes a day. Washing clothes takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school, about 53 minutes putting them to bed, and about 47 minutes helping them with homework. However, mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours’ sleep at night. 83% are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life. So mothers are busy and tired every day. All of us should do something to show our love for our mothers no matter whether (无论) we are young or old. On Mother’s Day, we shouldn’t forget to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to our mothers. When we have time, try our best to do some chores and let our mothers sit down and have a rest. 54.
