Text1
Every Saturday morning,at9am,more than50,000runners set off to run5km around their local park.The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired400events in the UK and more abroad.Events are free,staffed by thousands of volunteers.Runners range from four years old to grandparents;their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record13 minutes48seconds up to an hour.
Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic“legacy”is failing.Ten years ago on Monday,it was announced that the Games of the30th Olympic would be to lever a nation of sport
lovers away from their couches.The population would be fitter,healthier and produce more winners.It has not happened.The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise,by nearly2 million in the run-up to2012-but the general population was growing faster.Worse,the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate.The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved.Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections contin
ue as to why London2012failed to“inspire a generation.”The success of Parkrun offers answers.
Parkrun is not a race but a time trial:Your only competitor is the clock.The ethos welcomes anybody.There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining.The Olympic bidders,by contrast,wanted to get more people doing sport and to produce more elite athletes.The dual aim is mixed up:The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.
Indeed,there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved planing of such a fundamentally“grassroots”concept as community sports associations.If there is a role for government,it should really be getting involved in providing common goods－making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts,and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools.But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces,squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy,worthy strategies,future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive.Or at least not make them worse.

[A]gained great popularity

[D]become an official festival

[A]aims at discovering talents
[B]focuses on mass competition
[C]does not emphasize elitism
[D]does not attract first-timers

With so much focus on children’s use of screens,it’s easy for parents to forget about their own screen use.“Tech is designed to really suck you in,”says Jenny Radesky in her study of digital play,“and digital products are there to promote maximal engagement.It makes it hard to disengage,a
nd leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”
Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise.She found that mothers who used devices during the
