Finding time to read is an important part of developing reading and writing skills for all kids. And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day — even when it's tough to find time to sit down with a book.

Car trips, waits in checkout lines and the doctor's office are all opportunities for reading. Keep books or magazines in your car, or backpack to pull out whenever you're going to be in one place for a while. Even if you can't finish a book, read a few pages or discuss some of the pictures.

Encourage kids to bring favorite books and magazines along wherever you go. While it's attractive to provide electronic games and readers, be sure to alternate electronic media with plenty of opportunities to read traditional print books.

Reading opportunities are everywhere you go. While riding in the car, for example, encourage kids to spot words and letters (on billboards, store signs, etc.), turning it into a game (“Who’ll be the first to find a letter B?”).

Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments. Kids can assist you as you cook by telling you how much flour to measure. Give your child a catalogue to read while you sort through the mail. Ask relatives to send your child letters, e-mail, or text messages, and read them together. Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives. These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.

Even when you’re trying to get things done, you can encourage reading. While cleaning, for instance, you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work.

Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books, even if it means cutting back on other activities, like watching TV or playing video games.

Most important, be a reader yourself. Kids who see their parents reading are likely to imitate them and become readers, too!

A. They are suggested taking reading materials only.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲勞). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?

Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

1.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.

B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.

C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

2.According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

A．Challenging mental work. B．Unpleasant emotions.

C．Endless tasks. D．Physical labor.

3.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas?

A．He agrees with them.

B．He doubts them.

C．He argues against them.

D．He hesitates to accept them.

4.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ________.

A．have some good food

B．enjoy their work

C．exercise regularly

D．discover fatigue toxins

I used to be so addicted to computer games that I had little time for study and thus fall behind. My parents and teachers were greatly worried about myself. It was my English teacher’s encouragement which helped me out. She told me that I must have my own goal of life, otherwise my future would be hopeless. She reminded of me that playing computer games was great fun and it wouldn’t guarantee me a bright future. I finally realized that I must set up a goal and work hardly towards it right away. In the days that followed, whenever I felt tired or had a urge to play computer games, I thought of my goal and soon regained strength.

With the saying goes, a life without a goal is a life without hope. Bear my life goal in mind, I always full of energy in my study.
