Dear Bobby Brune，

Children learn best when they're having fun. “Jungle Gym Jimmy”is an article for parents and children that teaches playground safety and shows how simply playing can promote good health and fitness. The tips are given through the funny voice of the“tour guide”on the playground，seven—year-old Jimmy. By listening to Jimmy, children learn how to use the equipment safely and how to get the most fun out of a day on the playground.

As a Kid Talk subscriber for the last seven years. I am very familiar with your publication, and feel this article would be a positive addition to the “I Can Do It” section of the magazine. The article is 2，114 words，and has been divided into categories in a way that holds children's interest. Being a mother of four children and using our home as a meeting place for most of the neighborhood，I've had the opportunity to test and confirm that the fun and easy “exercises” offered here are not only effective but are lots of fun for kids.

I've been writing children's stories and articles for several years, and have had many of my stories published in Kids Know Best，a small newspaper that the Cinder Primary School publishes each month. I'm also a founding member of the“Right On Baby”editorial group which publishes a monthly e—zine for parents with newborns, and I’m a contributing editor to “Write Now,” an online site that teaches creative writing.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Claudia Parker

Dear daughters,

Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.

Here are some words of wisdom for you as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama.

1. Be open-minded to changing your path along the way

In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,

DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I'm not a politician!

2. Failure is critical to your success

Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better.

Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.

I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.

Love,

Your mom

1.In the writer’s opinion, what does it take to realize one’s dream?

A.Failure, hard work and good timing.

B.An open mind, failure and hard work.

C.Hard work, good luck and good timing.

D.A good dream, an open mind and hard work.

2.What did the writer learn from her failure?

A.Failure can make us embarrassed.

B.We shouldn’t get angry when we fail.

C.Don’t care too much about your failure.

D.It’s important to turn to others for help.

3.Which of the following words best describe the writer?

A.Political and proud.

B.Caring and cautious.

C.Modest and unlucky.

D.Flexible and successful.

While the internet is a great place for learning, socialising and having fun, it can also come with some danger. It’s understandable that you may want to stop your children from ever going online in order to protect them. 1.. Here are five tips to help you talk to your kids about online safety.

1. Be honest about the dangers

As soon as your kids are old enough to get online, have an age-appropriate chat with them about what they could meet with. Be honest about the issue of scammers(骗子)and advise them to come to you if they come across such incidents. Let them know that the anonymity(匿名)of the internet allows people to pretend to be someone they’re not so.2..

Flag certain behaviours or incidents that they should immediately alert you to. These include someone they don’t know trying to communicate with them online, coming across inappropriate sites, and someone threatening them online.

Your kids may be scared to tell you if they’ve encountered trouble online for fear that you may stop the usage of their phone or computer .3.. Your role is to help them and keep them safe.

Make it absolutely clear that there are a few things that are completely out of bounds(界限).

Dear Brown,

Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. I have been told one more worker will be needed this year and I think you are fit to it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill close to a river. It is so a beautiful place!  We can hear birds singing happy all around. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. You usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have a fun. I am sure it will be a unforgettable experience. If you show much interests in it, reply to me soon.

We all think best when we're well rested． A clear， alert brain allows us to focus， learn and remember information， and to be creative． On the other hand， when we're sleepy， we make more mistakes and are less productive in school and at work． In a report from Psychological Science， researchers at the University of Paris report sleeping between two learning sessions improve your learning．

In this study， 60 French adults were randomly divided into a "sleep" or "wake" group． They all were given 16 French-Swahili words in pairs in random order． After studying a pair for seven seconds ， the Swahili word appeared on a screen and the participants were asked to type the French translation． If they made a mistake， the words appeared again until every word-pair was correctly translated． Twelve hours later， they did it again． The wake group did their tests first in the morning and then in the evening so they had no time to sleep in between． The sleep group members did their first session in the evening and the second came the next morning， after a good night's sleep．

The sleep group members did much better at recalling the correct translations and were quicker to learn when they make a mistake． Both groups were eventually able to learn all the word-pairs but getting some sleep allowed the sleep group to learn in less time and with less effort， A follow-up showed that the sleep group still did better than the wake group a week later and even six months later，

So， if you have to learn something， study and then get a good night's sleep．

1.What is the difference of the two groups' tasks？ ______

A. Who to learn．　　 B. What to learn．

A. Correcting the mistakes．

B. Typing the French translation．

C. Typing the Swahili words．

D. Showing the Swahili word on the screen．

How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.

It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.

What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea, a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.

Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.

1.Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?

A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.

B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.

C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.

D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.

2.Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.

A. are given a difficult test B. make friends with foreigners

C. wish to be a princess or prince D. are going to lie to their parents

3.The author writes the text mainly to ________.

A. introduce some fairy tales

B. talk about the history of fairy tales

C. discuss how to improve human relationships

D. show how fairy tales help children shape values
