Summer has finally arrived, which means kids ...

Summer has finally arrived, which means kids are bound for the outdoors. It can be exciting for kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.

Water Safety

At this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket（飞涨） compared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.

Sun Safety

We are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, it’s important to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(防晒霜) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.

Bike Safety

Nothing says summer like a nice neighborhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Don’t forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 Percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. It’s estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have been prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.

1.Summer is called a dangerous time because children　　　　　 .

A. are easily injured

B. enjoy staying in the sun

C. want to learn swimming

D. refuse to accept advice

2.What can be learned from the passage?

A. Kids only need to wear T-shirts and shorts.

B. Bikes, like toys, seldom lead to injury.

C. Some swim schools offer children class for free.

D. Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.

For most students, school is over and summer fun is here. Even kids who are going to summer school don't need to be cooped up indoors during these bright sunny days. Why? Thanks to technology, many kids now have the option of attending "virtual" summer schools online.

These "virtual" classes are not new. Many colleges and universities offer online courses where the students never meet; they correspond with their teachers and classmates on the web. Even some traditional schools add to daily classes with internet-based assignments and feedback.

There are a lot of benefits to online schooling, and that's why public schools have started participating in this non-traditional type of education. Instead of students riding the bus, going to class, eating lunch at school, and going home in the early afternoon, they can now log on（登录）at any time of day or night and learn. This flexible online option requires just as much work and participation as normal summer school. However, the timing is different.

Online summer school is not for all students, just like it isn’t for all adults. The student needs to be an excellent reader in order to obtain as much information as possible from the lectures. In addition, students must understand computers and be self motivated（激发）in order to complete the class successfully.

If the students meet these requirements, then online summer school has many advantages. Written lectures can be read and reread until the student understands them. The students can email each other and the teacher if they need help. Students who participate in online summer school often earn higher grades because the teachers can answer more questions without slowing down the entire class progress. And because of this new technology, summer school students can still go to the beach, travel around the world, and take family vacations!

1.Online schooling has the following advantages and benefits EXCEPT ____.

2.What does the underlined word “option” probably mean?

3.Online summer school is not suitable for ____.

4.Which of the following people is most supposed to choose online schooling?

In a house with more than one kid, there are bound to be some problems. When brothers and sisters don’t get along，it’s called sibling rivalry(敌对). It’s normal, but too much competition can make for an unhappy home life. Let’s talk about getting along with brothers and sisters．

What is sibling rivalry?

A little competition isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes it can keep you working hard, but some sibling rivalry involves arguing. People who love each other might argue sometimes, but too much fighting is unpleasant for everyone.

Have you ever heard of the green–eyed monster called jealousy (嫉妒)? Sometimes brothers and

sisters are jealous of one another. For instance, if your sister always does well at school, it may be frustrating for you, especially if your grades are lower.

Although you’re probably proud of your sibling or siblings, it’s normal to be a little jealous, too. It may make you feel better to focus more on doing your own personal best, rather than comparing yourself with a brother or sister.

Don’t lose your cool．

Sometimes when you’re jealous and frustrated, it’s easy to lose your temper. Try to follow these tips to avoid getting into a fight with your brother or sister: Firstly, take a deep breath and think a bit. Secondly, remind yourself that you have special talents. Finally, try to congratulate your siblings on their achievements and share their happiness. If you do this for them, they’ll be more likely to do it for you.

Hopefully, these tips will work. But if the situation gets out of control and you and your brother or sister start fighting a lot, you may need to talk to someone.

There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.

Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.

But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us face it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse (咒骂) or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.

Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick (砖) house, than the people, in the house on the corner, who no one ever sees.

1.This passage is mainly to tell us________.

A. how to keep your child safe in the neighborhood

C. how to get along with your neighbors

D. how to teach your child to protect himself

2.If someone resides two doors down, he________.

A. studies at the same school with your kid

B. often comes to the neighborhood to offer help

D. likes driving the truck around the neighborhood[

A. becoming very excited

B. becoming very worried

C. becoming very disappointed

D. becoming very relaxed

4.From the third paragraph we can know that________.

A. it is important for you to be polite to your neighbors

Enjoy the challenge of a new term

The new term is finally here, which means, of course, it's time to return to school.

For many students across China, that also means having to leave home for the next several months and move into a school dormitory.

Being away from our family for a long time, however, often leads to homesickness, a feeling that most students have experienced at some point.

A study by the UK's National Union of Students found that up to 70 percent of UK students living away from home experience homesickness within their first few weeks of being away.

But homesickness isn't just a feeling of sadness that happens in our mind; it can also affect us physically.

“You feel homesickness in your stomach—it's an unease in which you feel uncomfortable, nervous, stressed because you're in a place or situation that's not familiar,” Joshua Klapow, a professor of public heath at the University of Alabama, us, told HuffPost.

According to Klapow, the body reacts physically when it's placed in an unknown situation such as being separated from one's familiar surroundings for a long time.

“It's an evolutionary(进化的) thing that makes us protect ourselves from danger when something is unknown," he told the HuffPost.

“When we think about home, we know that the sense of unknown … is not happening there, so we want to return.”

So, how can we overcome these physical reactions?

Ruth Hardy of the Guardian offered advice for students who are feeling the effects of being away from the safety of home.

“Try and establish routines(常规) quickly. This can make your new environment feel more stable and will hopefully make you feel more settled,” she wrote.

Making friends with others who are in your situation is also a great way to feel less homesick, according to Hardy.

The most important thing to remember, however, is that homesickness is completely normal and is nothing to be ashamed of.

And once it's gone, you're free lo enjoy the adventures and challenges of a brand new school year.

1.The study by the UK's National Union of Students is mentioned to　　　 .

A.show how homesickness causes harm to students

B.prove it's common for students to feel homesick

C.introduce some causes of homesickness

D.show how all young people are troubled by homesickness

2.What can we learn about homesickness?

A.It's only a feeling in our mind.

B.It usually disappears after a few weeks.

C.It has a physical influence on our body.

D.It always happens once we visit an unfamiliar place.

3.According to Klapow, why is homesickness helpful to humans?

A.It shows people the importance of their family.

B.It drives people to get used to changes.

C.It encourages people to express their feelings.

D.It keeps people away from possible dangers.

4.How does Hardy suggest people deal with homesickness?

A.Take part in as many activities as possible.

B.Talk about your problems with your friends.

C.Get into a routine as early as possible.

D.Avoid seeing things related to your home life.
