Question III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer. (10pts)
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means com-ing back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called ''latchkey children''. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, ''We had a school rule against wearing jewalry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with key attached. I was constantly telling them to put the key inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.'' Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. It's hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children alone.

Dr Watson: 51_________________ It's no good just spending two or three hours a day playing video games. You can't be fit and healthy if you hardly ever do exercise. Three or four hours a week is OK. Different sports exercise (có tác dụng với) different parts of the body. For example, swimming is excellent for your arms and shoulders. 52_________________ Then, there are team sports, where you need to use special skills (kĩ năng) to play well.

Interviewer: 53_________________
Dr Watson: These are not a very good idea, because they can be quite dangerous. You need special protection like a helmet for your head, pads for your knees and elbows. It's always a good idea to work with a trainer (huấn luyện viên), who can help when you have problems.
Interviewer: 54_________________
Dr Watson: Things like board games or bowling can also be very good for you. They don't give you much physical exercise, of course, but they are important mental exercise. And they are often good fun, too. 55_________________ Oh, and finally, I would also recommend listening to or playing music.
