　　Some experts (專家) say that the problem is caused by a “family-unfriendly culture”. The results show that most families get together for only 45 minutes a day. And most of the time is spent either in front of the TV or eating.

　　Sally Brown, a 15-year-old girl, said, “There are two girls in my family — my sister and I. Our parents never play with us and they don’t think they should do this. When we go outside and play with other children, our mother usually does housework or cooks. When our father gets back home, we have dinner together. And then we go out to play again after having helped wash the dishes. Our parents don’t always help us do anything we can — sometimes they even encourage us to do something difficult on our own. They think this is a much better way to educate children. In fact, we hope our parents can read to us before we go to bed. We hope to spend more time with them.”
