Have you heard about “ Survival (生存) Holiday”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies (公司) are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults (成年人) disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge(挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help a lot in their lives.

I’m shy and afraid of starting high school. What can I do to get over my shyness and become confident? ---- lily
Here is some advice which Lily’s classmate gave her：
One of the best ways to get over shyness is to practice the things that make you nervous .For example, if you want to make a report in your English class. You should practice speaking out before having the class .If you only speak English in a low voice, you can never improve your spoken English. And you will be nervous when you speak in front of the whole class.（1.）Remember that the more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel. Rehearsing(预演)is important.（2.）例如，如果你害怕演讲，你应该怎么办？Some people find it helpful to rehearse in front of a mirror(镜子).In this way, when you give a speech, you will feel more confident. You can also join a group that interests you, like a sports team or a dance club .Of course you’ll feel nervous at first----- that’s very normal. You will have a lot to talk about and get more active when you get along with people who have a common interest with you. Then you will become more confident.

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day．”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life’ friends．”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction．According to experts，Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．
For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him．They called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight．
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted．The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people．
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(症状)：
★You go out with your friends less and less．
★You can’t wait to get online again．
★You’ve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet．
What is the solution? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it，or the Internet would control you．How many hours does an Internet addict spend online every week according to experts?

More than one-million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery(阅读恢复). The program is for six-year-olds with difficulties in learning to read.
Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert(专家) Marie Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other countries also use this method. Programs are quite different from school. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades use the program.
The Reading Recovery method requires a specially trained reading teacher to work with children one at a time. The lessons take a half hour each school day, including reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet(字母表).
Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the students develop these methods to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the students to continue to use these methods each time they read.
Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time.
The lessons end when the students’ reading ability is within the average level(平均水平) of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average. The leader of this program says more than ninety-nine percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll give you a talk about going online.
We know that there are too many Net bars(网吧) around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them right away. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
That’s all! Thank you.

Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step(脚步) after another finally brings a person to the top. Along the way， he can stop and look around. And the higher he climbs， the more wonderful his view(视野) is. If he keeps climbing， he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way to see everything.
Now learning a foreign（外国的） language （语言）is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way into people’s minds and hearts and into a culture that is very different from your own culture. This will make you richer， richer in things that money can’t buy. Even though you never set foot(踏上) on a ship or a plane， you can be an armchair traveler through books.
The mountain climber stops now and then to enjoy the scenery around him. Reading is just like this. If you are interested in it， you will find fun in books.Is climbing a mountain easy?
