五、阅读表达
(2018·安徽安庆桐城四模)Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”？ “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1，100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities often spend most of their time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing(打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river is considered to be a challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Most parents think the survival activities can help children improve their survival skills. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different situations. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their life.
1．What do many children in big cities spend most of their time doing? (no more than 10 words)
2．What is considered to be a challenge for children? (no more than 10 words)
3．How do most parents like the survival activities? (no more than 15 words)
