In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 1 Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world.

2 Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long text online. 55
Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.

Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!
Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.
Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit.
Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible.
Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.
1.In order to make children become interested in reading, what should parents do?
A. Tell them what they can learn from these books.
B. Choose books based on their interest.
C. Choose the easiest books for them to read.
D. Always read books together with them.
2.Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do?
A. Reduce children’s sleeping time.
B. Read to children when possible.
C. Have reading material available.
D. Pick the right computer games.
3.What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
4.What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A. To help children succeed in school subjects.
B. To give parents advice on how to educate children.
C. To remind parents of the importance of reading.
D. To teach parents how to encourage children to read.
