27、that exposed by Edward Snowden, the US National Security Agency whistleblower.“It will be interesting to see how these trends develop,” said Ernesto Van der Sar, the pen-name used by the editor-in-chief of T, the website that first reported the figures. “In any case, its clear that internet services

31、ceptable to some degree.DPerhaps, most parents have tried to give their children a head start on education with get smart videos and enrichment activities as early as infancy (婴儿期), but free play is often sacrificed, so the American Academy of Pediatrics says that the best medicine for busy children
32、 is an increase in traditional “playtime”.Studies suggest that unstructured play can help children become creative, discover their own interests, develop problem solving abilities, and relate to others socially, according to a report prepared by two academy committees for release Monday at the group
33、s annual meeting. On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The repo
34、rts think the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environment, where so many parents feel pressur

40、arents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India.
41、Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 37 In
42、fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout h
43、is life as a third-culture kid. 38 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to re
44、turn to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home.
45、 While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(理想化的) image children have of “home”. 40 As a part of the growing
46、 “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.D. However, their parents can help th
47、em see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.F.
