[originaltext]W: Well, you seem to have something on your mind, Philip.M: Yes,

W: Well, you seem to have something on your mind, Philip.
M: Yes, I do. I had a patient yesterday. Do you remember Ben Tinker?
W: Of course. I know Ben. He’s in your office quite often.
M: That’s right. First he has a cold, and then a sore throat. Nothing is really serious, but he’s always sick.
W: Something must be wrong.
M: Yes.(13)The boy sits at home and watches television every afternoon. He needs to be more active.
W: What do his parents say?
M: They both have to work all day. They can’t be with him in the afternoon. It’s unhealthy to sit inside every day. Children should be outside running around. Children need something to do after school.
W: Yes, but now, in most families, the parents have to work. Maybe the state government could do something.
M: Do you think we could do something about it?
W: You know we can do something.(14)We can start a committee. We can talk to people about the problem, and ask them to sign their names on a petition(请愿书). The petition could ask the state government to give money for afternoon programs in the schools.
M: After-school programs? Wow, that sounds good!
W: Yes.(15)There should be organized activities: art, drama, sports and games. And of course, there are trips.
M: That’s it! That’s the answer to Ben’s problem. After-school activities are much better than television.
W: And active children will stay strong and healthy.
