1 . Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV— they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.

But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kid can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.

Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”

So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”

This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!

More than twenty American states ban smoking in public.     1     study has proved that smoke-free laws can reduce a major effect of tobacco—heart disease.The study     2     (take) place in Pueblo, Colorado several years ago. In some states, there were 396 heart attack     3     (patient) in the year before the ban in hospitals.

However,18 months     4     the ban, the number was 237. Smoking in enclosed (封闭的) places is very     5     (harm) to non-smoke. Adults may think they are     6     (actual) protecting their children from second-hand smoke when they smoke outside their homes, or when the children are not there. However, researchers     7     (warn) of what they call “third-hand smoke” so far. When you smoke they say, dangerous matter from tobacco smoke gets into     8     (you) hair and clothing. Then, when you touch a baby, the baby comes into contact with that poisonous matter.

The long goodbye

Why was it so difficult to agree on a Brexit (英国脱欧) deal?-The border and "backstop".

When does     1     (certain) become the worst condition at all? This fall, more than three years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, no one was sure what form Brexit would take, what kind of relationship they would have with the nearest neighbors,     2     whether the whole thing could still     3     (call) off.

Theresa May, the first Conservative Prime Minister with the job of taking the United Kingdom out of the EU, had been forced     4     (step)down at the end of July, 2019. May had spent two years negotiating     5     exit deal with the other twenty-seven members of the EU, only to fail to get it     6     (approve) by Parliament. May’s attempts to contain the opposing forces in the country-the frightening     7     (economy) consequences of doing so-did not work. She ended up     8     (lose) her majority in Parliament and crafting a compromise with the EU,     9     satisfied nobody. The second, Boris Johnson, did not seem trustworthy. He wanted to rid May’s agreement, but there didn’t seem to be time to start over. He insisted that Britain would leave anyhow. “No ifs or     10     (but)”, Johnson said, outside No.10 Downing Street in his inaugural (就职的) speech.

The shape of the future is now visible. The uncertainty has moved away. The worst is most likely yet to come.
