All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight and help kids do better in school. Experts have also proved that outdoor activities at an early age can help children form healthy habits for life. But don't expect kids to understand about those things. Some kids just aren't into exercise, but that shouldn't mean they have to be addicted to the TV. So parents could do something to help inactive kids fall in love with physical activity.

If parents sit in front of the TV every night, kids aren't likely to respect restrictions(限制) you set on their screen time either. So check your own behavior and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life. Walk instead of driving if possible. Regularly join in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see how much you enjoy them. In this way, they may "do as the Romans do". Make sure that children's fitness is included in the family schedule as well as school, work and shopping. Then you and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan. And your children will begin to expect that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and on a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.

Children who aren't naturally good at physical activity may be worried about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure. They need all the support and encouragement from parents. Negative comments don't work and will only make them feel bad. Remember, focus on the effort——choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill——rather than the result.

    When our restaurant business failed，we headed north in a camping truck to Texas，hoping to have a “fresh start”.

    At the 1 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷）State Park，I 2 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 3 ，permanent campsite in the park, and 4, the hosts served as a link between the park's guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 5 for the following day.

    The park was 6 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼠由）walking toward our table. We 7 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 8 our camp.

    Having survived that night, we were 9 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 10 and gave us a beautiful campsite.

    Swedish businessman Nile is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo(冰屋) hotel.

    (build) in a small town, it has been attracting lots of visitors but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time, Nile's ice creation (be) nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to (replace) it.

    Nile built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was successful that he designed the present one, measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks—pilling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base, when the snow froze, the base (remove).

    After their stay, all visitors will receive a survival certificate(证书) (record) their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun," Nile explains, "as well as a good start in survival training.”

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.

When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing (观光) that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. The next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o'clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.

Nearly another one hour later, "Amazing!" Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I can't forget forever.

Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong ­willed determination (决心) , but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasing and unbelievable. So, it is really worth waiting for the best.

However, nowadays my hometown has taken on brand new look with rapid development of culture and economy.

    Are you interested in country music? I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields. Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.

    The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America. John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song "Take Me home, Country Roads" is well-known and people still play it today.

Keeping it in the family

    "You understand grandmother when she talks to you, don't you, darling?" The girl nods. I met her, her Japanese mother and English father on a plane to Japan. The parents were eager to 1 their experience of bringing up their daughter bilingually (使用双语地) in London. It isn't easy: the husband does not speak Japanese, so the child hears the language only from her mother, who has come to 2 that the girl will reply in English. This can be painful. Not sharing your first language with loved ones is hard. Not passing it on to your own child can be especially tough. Many immigrant parents feel a sense of 3.

    Children learn languages easily, but this doesn't mean that 4 exposure is enough. They must hear a language quite a bit to understand it—and use it often to be able to speak it comfortably. This is mental work, and a child who doesn't have an intention to speak a language will often avoid it. So languages often die when parents move abroad. In the past, governments discouraged immigrant families from keeping their languages. These days, officials tend to be 5; some even see a valuable resource in immigrants' language abilities. Yet many factors ensure that children still lose their parents' languages, or never learn them. A big one is institutional 6. A child's time spent with a second language is time not spent on their first. So teachers often discourage parents from speaking their languages to their children. Parents often 7 obey, worried about their children's education. This is a(n) 8, for children really can master two languages or even more. Research does indeed suggest their vocabulary in each language may be somewhat smaller for a while, but other studies hint at intellectual advantages among bilinguals. They may be more skillful at complex tasks, better at maintaining attention.

    Even without those side effects, 9, a bilingual child's connection to another culture is a good thing in itself. How to 10? When both parents share the native language, the strategy is often to speak that at home, and the national language outside. But when they have 11 languages, perhaps the most common approach is "one parent, one language". Francois Grosjean, a language expert from Switzerland, 12 the necessity. He recommends reserving occasions on which the only language that may be spoken is the one that needs 13. Sabine Little, a language expert at the University of Sheffield, puts the emphasis elsewhere. Making the native language yet another task 14 by parents can lead to rejection, she argues. She recommends letting the child form their own 15 connection to the language, for languages are not just another thing to be drilled into a young mind, but a matter of the heart.
