    Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

    The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

    One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave—how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.

    It was a summer afternoon and some boys were playing together in a park. They knew each other well, as they  (spend) the last three years of school together and tomorrow was the start of a new term, about  they were excited and nervous.

    The first day of school came, and all the boys from the park the day before were put in the same class  coincidence. They jumped for joy all morning long. After lunch, the teacher came into the classroom with a boy and it was evident they had never seen him before.

    All the children were quiet, (wait) for the teacher to speak. And she said: “Hello everyone, this is Mei Pei from China, our newest class member. Mei Pei knows some English so I hope you will treat him as if he (be) your brother.”

    Then one child said to Mei Pei: “How come you speak (different)?” Meipei answered: “In my country, we all talk this way. On other hand, we're just the same as you. I wish I (speak) English as well as you in three months.”

    The children in the class understood this, and that it also didn't matter what he looked like, or what colour his skin was, or that he didn't speak perfect English.

    So the new (add) to the class helped everyone learn how to respect new people. And the boys stayed in the same class for another two years, with Meipei as one of their best friends.

    Can you find your way to wealth and success?Napoleon Hill believes that if you have the right thoughts you can. In nineteen thirty-seven, after many years of researching business success, he published the book Think and Grow Rich. Even though it was published in the middle of the Great Depression(大萧条), it was immediately successful. Forbes magazine says it has been sold seventy million copies since it first appeared.

    SmarterComics has published a version(版本) with pictures of the book. Franco Arda is the company's founder and publisher, who wanted to create picture books that could increase understanding. His version provides much of the information that is in full-length books but in an easy-to-understand form.

    Mr Arda says, "Readers will understand and remember more about gaining success if they read the comic book version of Think and Grow Rich. Because it's pictured, it's easier to read and it's also easier to remember. Once you see something interesting, your brain can take it in much quicker and then you can remember it much longer. "

    Mr Arda says he first read Think and Grow Rich when he was a teenager. The book was credited(把……归因于)to much of his financial success—it taught him to change the way he thought about money and success.

    Mr Arda adds Napoleon Hill found that you must write down what you want to achieve, how and when you want to achieve it and what you are willing to lose for it. Napoleon Hill said you must read that statement out loud every morning when you woke up and every evening before you went to sleep.

    Mr Arda thinks Think and Grow Rich shows that "Wealth is sure to be gotten by believing in personal ideas, and anyone can realise his dream by refusing to be stopped by sudden problems. "

    When treating some friends to dinner, we Chinese often say, “The dishes are not good. Please forgive me.” In fact, it is a Chinese way of (be) modest. he really means is that all the dishes here are really wonderful! What he really hopes is compliment from the guests! But English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us? The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you've enjoyed!” after eating.

    While (eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very (puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently? Am I eating too or too much?

    And now comes the end of the dinner when your guests (leave). The Chinese would say, “Walk slowly!” This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners: why can't I walk fast? Does it matter I walk slowly or not? Are you worrying that I may fall over? change your words a simple “Bye!” or “See you next time!”

    It's no surprise that sports can greatly benefit a child physically, psychologically, and socially. A 2008 Women's Sports Foundation Research Report concluded that children's athletic participation is also associated with increased levels of family satisfaction, great achievement in study, and an overall better quality of life for children. And a study published in last month's American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that kids who are active at age 5 wind up with less body fat at ages 8 and 11.

    But one hotly debated discussion focuses on the kinds of sports kids should play, with parents mistakenly thinking, "Lizzie is so quiet, we should let her join in basketball and soccer to try to get her to open up." But increasingly, experts are suggesting the healthier instinct (直觉) might be, "Lizzie is so quiet. Maybe we should see if she likes playing with a big team like softball or if she likes ballet or swimming, where she can work more on her own terms."

    “Participation in any sport is going to provide kids with life skills—the ability to focus and to concentrate, the ability to handle pressure in tough situations, the ability to stay calm when things aren't going just right,'' explains Orlando-based youth sports psychology expert Patrick Cohn. Those lessons will carry over into future, non-sports attempts.

    Team sports certainly offer benefits not as easily obtained via individual activities, as players leant how to communicate and work with others, and there's the potential to develop leadership abilities. Team sports also help kids develop their social identity. Our sense of worth is developed through what we achieve and a sense of belonging.

    Individual sports offer unique advantages, too, like developing a child's sense of independence. “Hero, you don't depend upon teammates," says Cohn. "You take full responsibility, whether you do well or perform poorly." Many of Cohn's young clients complain about pressure from team mates or coaches to make zero mistakes or carry more of the team than they may want to; these kids may enjoy a solo sport like tennis or gymnastics.

    Individual activities keep kids away from comparing themselves to the best players on the team, a habit that does little to help confidence levels. Instead, it encourages them to compare their skills to their own past performances. With individual sports like swimming or track, it's easier for the child to participate on his own, at his leisure(闲暇), without having to round up a bunch of like-minded peers.

    Above all, while some children enjoy the excitement of competition, others are more likely to benefit from the freedom of individual sports, and finding the right balance can be necessary for children's enjoyment. What parents think is encouragement, children often consider as pressure. So try to understand what they want from sports.
