(2020·东北三校高三第一次联合模拟)Last month, my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task: a 32day, 5,232mile camping trip with children in our Volkswagen van, without “high technology” to occupy the children.
It was the screenless journey that showered me with doubts. But is “boredom” nless? My friend Renee, who has driven crosscountry with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who es virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper, rearchers at the University of East Anglia in England concluded that the trance (发呆) helps recharge the mind and is “central to learning and creativity”. I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high technology. But I understand too well the power of miniscreens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷呆板的人)．
On Day 1, our venyearold son announced “Texas is so boring！” The next day, struggling against his at belt, he yelled he couldn't take much more of this. His fiveyearold sister performed better by playing makebelieve with the stuffed animals. On Day
3，he began to count mountains and e pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did the thumbandtoe wrestle.With wellknown mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. “Arizona is not as boring as Texas，” our son declared.
I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, leisurely time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the_fastest_way to burn it up. I don'一级消防工程师考试时间t always make the right decision as a parent but I know that we made the right choice in banning the small screen this time.
