"Children are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents," says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children's timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and "male breadwinner" households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. "Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself," says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School. Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids aged 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.
The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time"watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they're spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren't replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let's face it, who's got the time？
By mentioning "the same time crunch" (Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means
A．children have little time to play with their parents.
B．children are not taken good care of by their working parents.
C．both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time.
D．both parents and children have trouble managing their time.
With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.
Before my twins were born, my days were long but I had nothing to write about. After the twins' birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen or paper but milk bottles.
During some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 pm, heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there was really no night. Each feeding lasted a long time. At 1:00 am, each of them would begin crying with hunger. At 4:00 am, when I finally put them down, I headed for the kitchen and lighted a cigarette. I hadn't smoked for almost a year, but I felt I'd never needed it more. I was so sleepy and so tired that I didn't care.
Two years have passed since then and we've managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn't one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don't breathe a sigh of relief. At last a little time for myself.
What does the writer mainly write about？

B．Her work as a writer.
C．Her role as a teacher.
D．Her experience as a mother.

For many, single parenthood is synonymous with economic need. More than 3 million single - parent families live in poverty, according to the Census Bureau, and joblessness, plus cuts in public assistance, has helped drive up the number of poor children in such families by about 20 percent in just three years.
The biggest burden falls on households that are headed by single mothers. Nearly half of these families are below the poverty as" the most compelling social fact "of the last 10 years.
This deprivation is not only hard on its victims but expensive for taxpayers since single women and their offspring receive 40 to 80 percent of the benefits in various welfare programs that cost the government a total of 40 billion dollars a year. Despite cuts in benefits averaging 10 percent, rising number of eligible women are likely to keep the overall cost up, according to economist Alice Rivlin, former director of the Congressional Budget office.
Fanning the single- parent spiral are two dramatic offshoots of the sexual revolution: divorce and unwed (未婚的) motherhood. The divorce rate has doubled in the last 15 years, and the number of illegitimate births has more than doubled to 700,000 annually. One tenth of white children and more than one half of black children are now born out of wedlock. What's more, there is a strong tendency now for women and teenagers who have illegitimate children to keep them rather than put them up for adoption.
Typical is Rufina Nera of Los Angeles. When she became pregnant at 15, abortion was never mentioned in her home. Instead, her mother encouraged her to have the child, says Nera, adding:" She even gave a baby shower for me.
Now, Nera shares a crowded bedroom with her 2 - year - old daughter as well as her sister. She holds no hope of help from the father, although he remarked during the only time he saw the child that she was prettier than his other illegitimate baby. Even so, Nera tries to keep her attention on two goals: moving into her own apartment and getting enough education to become a secretary or a nurse. Her first step along that path is attending Ramona High School, an "opportunity school" where she and 110 other girls study while their babies are cared for in a nursery.
What effect does joblessness and cuts in public assistance have on children of single - parent families？
A．Another 3 million of them live in poverty.
B．The number of them increased by about 20 percent in just three years.
C．The number of them increased by about 3 percent in the 1980s.
D．They were not affected at all.
She had hardly walked 40 yards when she saw the car moving. It headed straight towards the river. Unable to swim, Joy shouted," My babies are in that car!"
Daniel Whitehead, a 17-year-old student, was walking by the river when the Buick crashed into the water just yards ahead. Without thinking, Daniel jumped in. Though a competitive swimmer, he was shocked by the icy chill
Two minutes earlier, Skip Womack had pulled to a halt as the Buick ran in front of him. Now seeing it hit the water and hearing Joy's cries, Skip got out of his truck and jumped into the river. He had only one thought: if I don't get them out, they'll drown.
Daniel reached the car and grabbed the door handle. But the water was only four inches beneath the window, and the door wouldn't open. With one powerful punch, Daniel and Skip broke a window. Daniel reached inside and lifted Stephen out. He placed him on his back and set out for shore. At the same time, Skip squeezed himself through the window, and managed to free Esther from beneath her seat belt. After he got out of the car with the baby, he held her over the water and swam toward the shore. All this took place just seconds before the Buick disappeared beneath the water.
Later, driving home, Skip thought of his wife and children- how close he'd come to leaving them behind. He thought of the miracle he'd lived through, and how two children were still alive because he and Daniel happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Why did Joy leave her children in the car？
A．She didn't like shopping with children.
B．She didn't like waking up her baby.
C．Stephen was big enough to take care of his sister.
D．It was icy cold outside.
