阅读理解Ridgewood is a small town 20 miles from Manhattan,New York.It is a quiet town,perfect for raising children away from the rapid pace(节奏)of the city.However,besides hours of homework,many Ridgewood children have too many after-school activities-from swimming to piano classes.Some kids compare their life to that of a New York general manager who has an 80-hour workweek.
