[1] Busy work schedules are creating a generation of “ Maybe Later” children. Thought those children are the most important to their parents, they are too busy with their work to spare time for them.
[2] In a study, working parents spend less than an hour a day with their children. Almost eight out of ten children said they hated being parked in front of the television instead of being entertained and 60 percent said they wished their parents worked less and had more time to play with them.
[3] The generation of “ Maybe Later” kids shows a worrying trend of parents not spending as much time as they should with their children. Parents admit their children aren’t getting enough of their attention, and children are also feeling the effect of this, longing fro their parents to spend more time with them.
[4] “We live in ever busier times with many parents taking work home with them, but it seems this is having a negative effect on the relationship they have with their children,” Dr James Carnd said, “ Trying to balance work an home life can be difficult, but parents need to remember that playing with your kids is a great way to relieve stress.”
[5] The research also found that on top of a normal working week, tired parents check their emails as soon as they get home at least four nights a week. And at least one of the two parents misses dinner twice a week because they work late. When they’re at home, they spend much of their spare time cooking and cleaning______             playing with their children .And more than half parents often find themselves promising to play with their children after they’ve finished work, checked their emails or completed housework.

It’s something that most of us find annoying. We’re on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading, when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone: “I’M ON THE BUS !”
小題2:          
A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today’s electronic communication gadgets. Besides noisy phone users, sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners, reports MSNBC.com.
小題3:         _
One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones, iPods and other devices during religious festivals. Some 90 per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful.
小題4:        ___
