【推荐1】Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!
Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.
Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit.
Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible.
Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.

【推荐2】Has the wind ever blow your hat away? Have you ever drop your notebook on a windy day? How many important pages did you lose? Wind is moving air. It can pick up light materials and carry them far away.
Wind is a force of erosion（侵蚀）. It can carry away small materials such as dust particles（灰尘微粒）and sand particles from the earth’s surface. However, wind itself does not cause much erosion. Most “wind” erosion is done by particles. Wind is an important natural force of erosion in dry places.
When wind slows down, it drops the materials that it is carrying. When sand is dropped, it builds up and becomes dunes（沙丘）. Sand dunes are common in deserts and on beaches. Some dunes can be harmful. They can bury（埋）farms and homes, even whole towns.
Wind carries dust particles higher and farther than it carries sand. Thick deposits of wind —blown dust may also build up. The wind—blown dust is called loess（黄土）.
Sometimes people plant grasses and trees to try to stop wind erosion. How does this help? The roots of plants help to hold down soil and other particles found on the ground.
1. The purpose of writing the first paragraph is to ________.| A．introduce the topic | B．make a comparison |
| C．give background information | D．warn people of the situation |
| A．Sand. | B．Wind. | C．Erosion. | D．Dust. |

【推荐3】“Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need dreams,” some scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have a few dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly.
Too much dreaming cannot be good. The more we sleep, the longer we dream.
The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don’t understand what you are saying.

1.Dinners
When you are invited to a dinner, you don’t have to eat everything .First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in rice bowl. You don’t have to eat it, but as a foreign guest (客人), you are supposed to be served first. If you don’t try anything, your host will be embarrassed (尴尬)—and will put it on your plate for you.
2.Bargaining
When you go to open-air markets or personal stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to build a friendly relationship(关系) first. You are creating a relationship with the businessma, not a price war. Think of it this way: Shouting, arguing, and pointing are not good. Smiling, being friendly, offering to buy more for a better price is. And don’t be afraid to ask, “Can you offer me a better price?”
3.Chopsticks
Don’t point with them at other people’s faces, and by all means don’t stick them upright in your rice bowl—that is how the Chinese honor (纪念) the dead at graves. You should put them beside the plate.
4.Smiling
Chinese smile for more reasons than Americans. A smile can mean the person is embarrassed, trying to be helpful, curious, happy or friendly. In the middle of an argument, smiling means that the speaker doesn’t want this to become personal. When all else fails, smile in China. It shows you have no ill intention (意图) and can work wonders in getting better service.
