Playtime is important to children, and playing outdoors is really good for them. But today more and more children spend their free time indoors. They watch TV, play computer games, play with their smart phones, etc.

American father Mike doesn’t think it’s good for children to spend too much time indoors. So he turned his yard into a playground. Now on the open playground, there is a zip line (飞索) and a large playhouse with a trampoline (蹦床) and a slide (滑梯). His three sons and other children from the neighborhood like to have fun there.

Mike and his wife Kathy live with their three boys. They began building their playground in 2008. “To let our kids go outside and play on their own, we think it’s a good idea to turn our yard into a playground,” said Mike.

Mike encourages(鼓励) his three boys to take risks(冒险) when they play on the playground. They also welcome three to four children from the neighborhood every day to play there. “ Usually within about half an hour, every kid becomes excited and they play, run and laugh. It’s just so wonderful for me to see,” said Mike.

Millions of children in the United States go to summer camps. Some go to play outdoors at traditional camps in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects: anything from space exploration to business to medicine.

In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how to use computer programs to create games of their own. One program that teaches video game design is called Cybercamps. Children can learn how to design their own virtual（实际上的） worlds to set their video game in. Then, they program their own rules and objects into the game.

Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and Web design. A recent story in the Washington Post described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make Web sites. One child made a site for Pokemon, one of his favourite cartoon shows.

1.Traditional camps are _______.

A. in the woods B. in the mountains　　　　 C. on lakes    D. all above

2.Special camps offer young people the chance to learn _______.

A. only space　　     B. only science

C. only medicine　　     　　 D. different subjects

3.In Cybercamps a child made a robot that could _______.

1. It is easy to play the game. Most children enjoy it. You need some benches (板凳), some persons and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments if you want to play it. You may use a music player, too, such as MP3 player or recorder.

2. The benches may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the benches in row with each bench facing in the opposite direction (相反的方向) to the bench next to it.

3. When the music starts, you can walk round the benches. Everyone goes in the same direction. If the music is fast, you should walk quickly. If the music is slow, you should walk slowly.

4. When the music stops, one of you tries to sit in the benches. If you cannot find a bench to sit in, you have to drop out (退出). Then, before the music starts again, you must take one bench away. When the music stops again, one more actor will be out.

5. When the music stops, if you sit in the bench, you are the winner (获胜者).

It's very important to spend time with families. Parents can really get to know their children, and children love spending time with their parents.

When it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, families can always get together at the table. Eating breakfast together is a good way to start the day. Families can also share the happenings of the day and plan for next day while eating dinner together.
