Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping.They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time.At the same time,the number of homework﹣connected arguments will be less at home.Kate Smith,an education scientist,says,"You don't have to know everything.Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents.Use your resource﹣online teachers,or even your neighbourhood﹣just ask."

【分析】本文介绍了作者的两个朋友吉娜和安娜不同的生活方式。
【解答】(1)考查形容词。句意:她们两个都很外向,但是她们有不同的生活方式。形容词修饰名词"lifestyles",difference的名词是different"不同的",故填different。
(2)考查连词。句意:吉娜很重,因为她从来不做运动。"她从来不做运动"是"她很重"的原因,because"因为"符合语境,故填because。
(3)考查介词。句意:她总是起床很晚,因为她玩电脑游戏到深夜12点钟。at night在晚上,固定短语,故填at。
(4)考查动名词。句意:并且她认为玩电脑游戏很有趣。动词作主语用动名词形式,play的动名词是playing,故填playing。
(5)考查副词。句意:然而,她非常喜欢吃垃圾食品,她一周吃两次。根据语境,要用副词twice,故填twice。

(8)考查代词。句意:水果和蔬菜是她最喜爱的食物,她每天都吃。修饰名词"food"用形容词性物主代词her"她的",作定语,故填her。
(9)考查名词。句意:她每晚睡九个小时。nine后面跟复数名词,nine hours"九小时",故填hours。
