　　they were outside in the front or backyard or playing
　　nearly with other neighborhood children.
　　Though this situation still exists in some communities

　　families" create a different kind of home—one that is a
　　place to stop temporarily in the midst of a busy schedule __4__
　　of activities. Because working parents often leave the house
　　by 8 A.M and return at 5 or 6 P.M, children go to school

　　参考答案及解析:
　　1. most→ rest：根据上下文，应表达“除了上学以外的时间”。
　　2. while→ when / if ：逻辑分析，此处应为假设的时间关系，不是简单的同步时间关系。
　　3. inside→ outside：根据上下文的意思，应该是“越来越多的母亲在外面工作”
　　4. 在stop后加by：stop by表示途中短暂的访问，歇脚，休息等；符合下文的 temporarily in the midst of a busy schedule of activities。
　　5. 在then和a之间加to：与上文的go to关联，实际为 children go to school
　　and then (go to) a series of highly-programmed after-school activities.
　　6. 删除face后的with：此处face为及物动词
　　7. have→ create：have表示“拥有，存在”，create强调“出现，产生，引起”。此处是指因为假期而引起和出现照料孩子的问题
　　8. many→ no/ few：根据上下文逻辑分析，几乎没有可以供孩子到处玩乐的街区存在。
　　9. from→ in：result from意思是“起因于”，result in意思是“其结果是........”
　　10. look→ looking：现在分词短语做定语，修饰both parents and children
