[简答题]以往人们只能看到理想孩子的面容，却无法听到他们的声音。但时代和文化已发生变迁。人们越来越频繁地看见孩子们在全国电视节目中露面，听到他们在全世界巡回演唱。孩子们成为父母梦想的依托和希望的寄托。从文化的角度讲，我们前进的方向是让每个孩子成为明星。如今的孩子正为此付出代价，因为父母迫使他们取得成就或把他们当做小大人。

参考答案: Once the ideal child was seen and not heard. But the times and the culture have changed. More and more often a child is seen on national television and heard roaring around the world. Sons and daughters have become the projection of their parents’ dreams and the repository of their hopes. We are moving, in a cultural sense, in the direction of having every kid be a star. Pushed by the parents to achieve or treated like tiny adults, some of today’s children are paying the price.
