Hardship comes in different shapes and sizes. Losing a job, illness, injuries or the death of a love done. But few things in life areas heartbreaking as feeling cutoff from the people we love. Recently, while "sheltering in place" against Covid-19, I've started reading to my grand kids with Face Time.
Mostly, I read to them because I love doing it. But I also do it for their parents' mental health. Besides having to stay indoors, they have to home school the kids, who can't go to school or to the park or play with their friends.
As am other, I didn't do everything right. Far from it. But when my three children were small, most nights before bed, I would read to them. There is something important-something comforting and healing-about reading to each other. Sometimes the words we read are so powerful that they will never be forgotten. But hearing them read is a different experience.
When we read to ourselves, we see the words with our eyes. But when someone reads to us, we just need to be still and listen. Sometimes, the voice and the love it conveys (传播) mean far more than the words.
Today, I read a tale book my kids loved long ago. Randy, 9 and Wiley, 7, thought it was funny. Elle, who's 5, usually prefers to read to me, but this time she just wanted to talk. Next, Randy played a song for us on his guitar, the very first song he has written. Finally, I Face Timed with Jonah, who is almost a year old. I read a little poem. He liked it so much that he gave me kisses over the phone, then we said goodbye. Now, more than ever, while keeping a safe distance, we all need to hold on to each other.
1.As a grandmother, she started to read to her grand kids without using apps (软件) during the period of "sheltering in place" against Covid-19.
2.The author reads to her grandchildren because she loves reading and wants to lower their parents' pressure of taking care of them.

Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forma, mostly from the local drama "Huiban". It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
Theatrical (喜剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn't speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.
Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.

If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are captivated about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried, too, for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says.
But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change,” he adds. “It’s only since the 1940s that people have stated dressing girls — — in pink before that it was a color for boys.”

Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework? You might wish that you could read faster. 1. But experts have dismissed(驳回）this announcement.
"Speed reading is not actually possible," said Elisabeth Schotter, a scientist at the University of South Florida, US. Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books.
In fact, speed reading has been advertised (做广告）since 1959, when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program. Several US presidents have event asked their staff to take speed reading courses, 2.
Schotter explained that reading is a complicated(复杂的）process. It includes four stages: seeing a word, searching its meaning from your memory, connecting it with other words in the same sentence, and then moving on to the next word. 3. It can't be sped up. Some people who are able to speed read are simply skimming(略读）4. Skimmers can find out the main idea of a passage. But they will not be able to recall all of the information.
5. Research suggests that you should try to improve your vocabulary and simply read more. Then you can improve your reading speed.
