The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.

Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”

WELCOME TO课件中听力操作使用说明
许多下载我的课件的老师可能都遇到了同样的麻烦：听力操作比较麻烦。好多老师在给学生播放听力时，习惯于点击课件上的“小喇叭”图标，在使用我的课件时也用了同样的方法，结果却遇到了前所未有的麻烦，不知怎么办才好。下面我给大家讲解一下我的课件中的听力操作方法：
我的音频是嵌入式音频，所以老师们在使用我的课件的时候，不需要把课件和听力音频放到同一文件夹中，只需要课件就可以了。播放听力时，只需在其他任何地方按鼠标左键就可以了（不要点击小喇叭），就跟其他动画操作一样。用翻页笔的老师，只需要按翻页笔的“下一页”即可；如果想再听一遍，先按翻页笔的“上一页”，再按“下一页”就可以重复听。听完后如果按“下一页”，答案就会出现。
简单的一句话，我的课件中要播放听力，只需下翻页就可以。跟其他动画操作一样。
