1 . “What will you do if a person you don’t know wants to give you a ride?” I asked my children. “What if he says Mom is hurt, and you have to come to the hospital with him?” I knew they pretended to listen to me, because I interrupted their TV time.
Here I also want to ask some parents, “Have you ever told your children how to protect themselves?” If you haven’t, I would like to give you four words to help you teach your children how to protect themselves.
No! If a stranger walks to the children, they should keep their distance from the stranger. If the stranger keeps walking to them in a terrible manner, they should run quickly and shout “No!” as loudly as possible.
Go! If the shout does not change the situation, they should run as quickly as possible to a safe place. It is helpful for children to know some safe places such as schools, restaurants and gas stations.
Yell! It means that the children should shout loudly. They can yell out, “Stranger!”
Call! Once they get to a safe place, they should call their parents, teachers or other persons they trust.

2 . Have you ever imagined the life in space? The following will show you the astronauts’ daily life.
Eating in space
If you go camping for more than a week with some friends, you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly. At the end of your camping trip, you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space. Preparation changes with the food type. Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. Other foods require adding water, such as cheese. Of course, an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept properly.
Sleeping in space
After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep! Just like on the earth, in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and prepare for work again. When going to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don’t float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱). Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person. Generally, astronauts have an eight-hour sleep each day when they finish their task.
Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every astronaut’s daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩). Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. Lifting 200pounds on the earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much easier. That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed, so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts have fun, too. They like to look out the window and play with their food. Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

3 . Do you know that some kinds of foods you are eating every day are harming you slowly? Maybe you have a number of these foods on your menu. Let’s see if you need to start making changes in your diet.
If you have tooth decay (蛀牙) , you should avoid sugar as much as you can to reduce a risk of diabetes, cancers, obesity, heart disease and some other diseases. There are a lot of healthier ways to satisfy you. You can enjoy a bowl of fruit instead of some sweet snacks.
Cooking oil is a necessary part of your cooking. However, it has a high fat content, which can cause cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancers and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a good idea to choose olive oil, coconut oil or avocado (牛油果) oil.
Alcohol is high in calories, which can cause physical damage, weight gain and skin problems, not to mention the bad decisions you make when you are drunk. Therefore, if you want to damage your system, just believe marketing and drink alcohol daily. Otherwise, avoid it.
Too much carbohydrate can suddenly and greatly increase your blood glucose level, which can speed up the aging process and give you wrinkled (有皱纹的) skin. You’ll age faster and be prone to diabetes, which is a big problem.
If you eat too much salt, you may have high blood pressure which is one of the leading causes of death in the world. However, don’t be too nervous and cut out all salt as your body still needs it. Just limit the amount of salt. 3.75 grams of sodium (钠) per day is a safe amount. Anything that has above 6 grams causes a high risk of heart disease.
