Latchkey Children
Latchkey children was a term coined to describe children who wrote or carried house k
eys to school (31) ________ they could let themselves into their home when they returned
from school. The term came into use during the Second World War, when fathers had go
ne off to war, and mothers had gone into industry, making tanks, planes, uniforms and b
ullets the soldiers needed. The children went home with keys on chairs, ribbons or a piec
e of string tied around their necks. Some mother chose to work the night shift, called “sw
ing shift”, and tucked their children into bed, locked the door and went to factory. The co
untry’s response was prompt and comprehensive. Programs were set (32) ________ in fac
tories, in schools and community centers, to gather in all the children whose parents wer
e busy with the war effort. These programs closed promptly when the war ended, and wo
men (33) ________ their roles as housewives. More than sixty years on, there are large n
umbers of working mothers, but unlike in wartime, the country (34) _______ to care for th
eir children.
According to one census, one-third of all school-age children in the United States ar
e, for some part of the week, latchkey kids, that is, they go home and empty house or ap
artment. One-half of all children in the country aged 12 to 14 are home alone for an aver
age of seven hours a week. The very poor in America are less likely to leave their childre
n alone at home, or allow them to go home alone, than families who earn twice their leve
l of income. This is probably because the very poor live in less safe (35) _______, and hav
e fewer friends or family who can step in, in case of emergency.

Part 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Video Game Research
Although video games were first developed for adults, they are no longer exclusively r
eserved for the grown-ups in the home. In 2006, Rideout and Hamel reported that as ma
ny as 29 percent of preschool children (children between two and six years old) in the Un
ited States had played console video games, and 18 percent had played hand-held ones.
Given young children’s insatiable eagerness to learn, coupled with the fact that they are
clearly surrounded by these media, we predict that preschoolers will both continue and i
ncreasingly begin to adopt video games for personal enjoyment. Although the majority of
gaming equipment is still designed for a much older target audience, once a game syste
m enters the household, it is potentially available for all family members, including the y
oungest. Portable systems have done a particularly good job or penetrating the younge
r market.

Research in the video games market is typically done at two stages: some time close t
o the end of the product cycle, in order to get feedback from consumers, so that a marke
ting strategy can be developed; and at the very end of the product cycle to ‘fix bugs’ in t
he game. While both of those types of research are important, and may be appropria
te for dealing with adult consumers, neither of them aids in designing better games, esp
ecially when it comes to designing for an audience that many have particular needs, suc
h as preschoolers or senior citizens. Instead, exploratory and formative research has to b
e undertaken in order to truly understand those audiences, their ability, their perspective
and their needs. In the spring of 2007, our preschool-game production team at Nickelod
eon had a thought that the Nintendo DS – with its new features, such as the microphone,
small size and portability, and its relatively low price point – was a ripe gaming platform f
or preschoolers. There were a few games on the market at the time which had character
s that appealed to the younger set, but our game producers did not think that the game
mechanics or design were appropriate for preschoolers. What exactly preschoolers could
do with the system, however, was a bit of a mystery. So we set about doing a study to an
swer the query: What could we expect preschoolers to be capable of in the context of ha
nd-held game play, and how might the child development literature inform us as we proc
eeded with the creation of a new outlet for this age group?
