Maybe you think that many parents have a lot to learn about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, which makes many kinds of security(安全)software for home and business computers, there's a "huge difference between parents and their kids".

Parents of children under the age of 18 were asked to estimate(估计)how much time their kids spent online each week. The parents said about three hours a week on average(平均).The kids－ages 8 to 17－who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.

"I really think that's because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don't even know they're online," says Symantec's Bill Rosenkrantz. "Remember, cellphones, PDAs and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don't have to sit in front of a computer screen."

And what are the kids doing on the Web? "They're doing things, like downloading music, they're going to social networking sites, they're actually shopping online when parents don't think they're doing those kinds of activities," says Rosenkrantz. "They're also, we think, doing some things with research papers and other kinds of activities with homework maybe where　 they're getting some information online and they really shouldn't be." Nearly a quarter of the kids (23 percent) night do things their parents would not agree.

So how does a modern parent deal with this type of situation? "The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend fine with their children online," Rosenkrantz， says. "Sit down with them and understand what they're doing. Secondly, have a dialogue about it. Have a dialogue about what's an acceptable activity, what's an unacceptable activity, and set some ground rules－time online, things you can and can't do. Really have those conversations. That's the most important ." There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That's why it's so important for parents to know what their kids are doing online.

1.The data(数据)in the second paragraph are used to show 　　　　 .

A. parents don't exactly know kids' online activities

B. time spent online changes with children's ages

C. children always spend too much time online

D. children spend more time online than their parents

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Some kids surveyed may go against their parents' rules.

B. Most parents know what their kids are doing online.

C. Special home computers are being made by Symantec.

D. Parents are too busy to pay attention to their kids.

3.In Rosenkrantz's opinion, the key to the situation is that parents should 　　　　 .

A. shorten their kids' time spent online

B. know their kids' online activities

C. use security software in computers

D. have a dialogue with their kids

4.What's the purpose of the passage?

A. To advertise a piece of useful security software.

B. To call parents' attention to kids' online behaviour.

C. To warn children of the risks online activities.

D. To give reasons for kids' bad Internet habits.

Have you ever noticed that you seem to learn faster in certain classes but slowly in others? Maybe you think it’s because of the different difficulties of subjects, but the real reason is that our learning types are different.

Now, you may wonder what a learning type is and how to find yours.

There are mainly three different learning types: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination(混合) of learning types, but most people have one main type. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, charts and videos, you are likely a visual learner. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, then you are likely an auditory learner.

Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.

So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you　 in your classes.

Tips for Visual Learners

＊Pay attention! For visual learners, this is very important! If your teacher uses a PowerPoint, watch the pictures carefully and find out what they might include and their hidden meanings.

＊Take notes by drawing charts and connecting ideas instead of just copying

down a list. This way, your brain will easily connect the different concepts(概念). You can even draw pictures if you find that works better for you.

＊Mark your notes or your note cards in different colors. This will help your

brain in keeping all of the information separate. Different colors show different types of information or importance.

＊Download the PowerPoint if your teacher puts it on QQ. This way, you canreview them before an exam.

Tips for Auditory Learners

＊Again, pay attention! If you aren’t listening while the lecture is happening, then as an auditory learner, you’re missing the easiest way for you to learn.

＊If your teacher allows you to record the lecture, record it for future

listening.

＊If you find that taking notes stops you from listening, ask a friend if you can borrow his or her notes or write down everything you remember right after the lesson.

Tips for Kinesthetic Learners

＊The first point is paying attention once again! For kinesthetic learners, it’s especially important to take notes either by writing or typing, in order to actively get information as you receive it.

＊Make use of laboratories and other class activities. Focus on what you’re

learning from the experience and pay close attention to the process that you go through.

＊Visualize! That is to imagine yourself picking up information and putting it into a category(类别). This may sound silly, but in this way you’re “doing” something without actually physically doing it.

＊Rewrite notes and reread information. Try to translate the information into examples. This can help kinesthetic learners remember what they need to know.

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for(竞选)President: Because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.

I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.

I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of differentcolorsand areas because we are all equal.

I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.

These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.

Love，

Dad
