Annual holidays have become a luxury and are no longer a staple of family life, according to government research.
A getaway of a week or more is no longer considered essential by many families and is often beyond their reach, said the analysis of what parents and children say they really need.Fashionable clothes for the children, expensive birthday parties and lots of toys are also on the list of luxuries families don’t have to have.Instead, recession-hit parents are thinking of the future, and the things they want for their children centre around learning to behave properly, good education and good health.
Their picture of what a family ought to have includes a space to eat together away from the television, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and bicycles so children can get exercise.
The breakdown of necessities and luxuries was prepared by researchers from the Department for Work and Pensions(DWP) who were trying to establish an up-to-date picture of what parents say they really need.
Their findings show how families have scaled down their expectations in the face of economic difficulties — how parents are now concentrating their attention and money firmly on the long-term interests of their children.Many believe that while it is vital for a family to do things together, day trips or weekend breaks are enough.
Spending on furniture or decorating the house was also considered luxurious, unless the state of the home was so bad it became difficult to invite visitors in.
Instead, researchers said: A family home should have an area where the family can eat together, not on their laps in front of a television.Families should be able to go on outings, overnight trips and possibly short holiday: the fact of being able to share these experiences is more important than the precise activity and its cost.
It can be inferred that ______________.
A.a(chǎn) week or more holiday is considered beyond many families’ reach
B.children hardly ever need fashionable clothes and lots of toys
C.what a family should have is basic things that they must have
D.a(chǎn)nnual holidays were once considered necessary and vital
In the opinion of most parents, _____________.
A.families can watch TV together in order to keep up their relationship
B.day trips or weekend breaks are enough for families to share experiences
C.their expectations should be increased in the face of economic difficulties
D.a(chǎn) week’s holiday is an essential minimum during the financial crisis
Which of the following is TRUE of the researchers from the DWP?
A.They confirm many families still need at least a week away on holiday each year.
B.They learn it is insignificant for a family to do things with each other regularly.
C.They want to know what parents really need in the face of economic difficulties.
D.They found spending on furniture or decorating the house was thought valuable.
We can conclude from the last paragraph____________.
A.being able to share experiences is important for families
B.a(chǎn) family needs at least a week away on holiday each year
C.a(chǎn) family home should have a comfortable area to watch TV
D.going on outings and overnight trips is wasting time for families

A.Cycling is very important for children’s health.
B.Family holidays once a year have become a luxury.

Babies understand what their mothers say, even when they speak a language their children have never heard before, scientists claim.
The researchers found that one-year-olds reacted in exactly same way to their mothers’ voices regardless of whether they were speaking English or Greek, showing what mothers have long known – that babies pick up on tone of voice rather than the words themselves.
The researchers, from Cardiff University’s School of Psychology, observed babies as they watched their mothers perform actions with toys using the English words “whoops” and “there”. The scientists studied reactions from one-year-old babies to their mums’ voices even when they were speaking both English and Greek, and keeping the same tone of voice. The academics found that babies reproduced the same reactions regardless of whether they knew the language.
Study leader Dr Merideth Gattis of Cardiff University’s School of Psychology says, “What this work showed was that children could have access to understanding simply through tone of voice. We did ‘whoops’ and ‘there’ in two languages and got exactly the same results.” The research, published in the journal Cognitive Development, was conducted on 84 babies aged between 14 and 18 months, over the course of a year, with none of the babies having any previous exposure to Greek.
Dr Gattis says that children respond to tone clues in their parents’ voices from an early age.
She says, “Tone of voice is a really useful signal of what someone is thinking. We never have direct access to other people’s minds, except the signals in language that they give out.” She says the study shows that it is less important what parents say than how they say it.
Dr Gattis adds, “A child may ask if you like his / her drawing, for example. You might say yes, but if you don’t sound enthusiastic, the meaning may not get across.” Before children begin to speak, parents should use exaggerated tone when speaking to them.
