Kids need to move in school

Many years ago, when my girls were in primary school, they were crazy about the dance breaks they would occasionally have during the school day. Their teachers would put on a video, which encouraged the kids to get up and dance, and then they' d get back to work.1. Many teachers are including some form of movement into the school day.

A recent research, published in the journal Pediatrics, involved more than 10,000 children between the ages of 4 and 13. 2. Susan Kamin, leader of the research, said, “Activity breaks during the school day also lead to fewer behavioral issues, not to mention cutting down on stress and anxiety."

Breakthrough Magnet School, Connecticut, is in its third year working with the National Association of Physical Literacy. Principal Julie Goldstein said her third-and fourth-graders who are actively engaged in the physical programme are the highest-scoring students in math and reading in the district.3. For this school year, not one student from this group has been referred to her office for a conversation. Before the programme, she might have had one or two office coversations with some of them every month.

4. “I know lots of teachers who say, 'Yeah, I wish I had more time to do this,'” Kamin said, “Even in schools that can find the time, there is still some opposition (反对)because it's a departure from the way things used to be. It's a big change for some of the teachers.5.Yet the schools that have made the change see tremendous results. So how do you move the needle?"

A.My kids' teachers are certainly not alone.

B.They're not sure whether to make that leap.

C.The challenge, though, is persuading more schools to take action.

D.Teach children the basics of movement so that they can stay active for life.

E.Beyond the academical (学业的) benefits, there are benefits outside the classroom.

F.It shows that kids who get extra physical activity in school do better in cognitive(认知的) performance.

Few things have as large an influence on50the values of a child as the strong pain of lovingly administered shame (羞愧). It helps judge right from wrong and gives a 51emotional (感情的) dimension to moral (道德的) and character issues.

Kids, and adults for that matter, learn from their52. Parents, teachers and coworkers can remind them of their moral responsibilities without shaming or53them.

What we can’t do is just let54go, unless we want to send the message that’s okay. What we allow, we55. And we should never encourage anything other than moral excellence.

Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.

“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

A．something went wrong with the lights

5.
