In the new Google age, the problem of child safety is not limited to the home, park and school, but into the online world. A recent cyber bullying(网络欺凌) study found that more than half of teenagers in the research are victims of cyber bullying. However, most of them didn’t tell their parents. Of course, it’s impossible for parents to protect their children any time, especially teenagers. Therefore it’s necessary that parents educate and train children to be careful, know offline and online dangers, threats, and report to their parents at once. I strongly recommend the ACT rules to parents to keep children safe.

Awareness

The first step for the safety of children is to remain connected with them and encourage two-way communication. Dinner table conversations, bedtime chats, or a walk in the evening are ideal times to have one-on-one conversations with children. If you are a careful and patient parent, you can easily have an antenna that your child is stressed. Also make it your business to pay attention to websites and apps often used by children while making efforts to know their friends.

C____________

I strongly recommend these two books to help start the conversation — No Means No by Jayneen Sanders (2015) and Amazing You by Gail Saltz (2008). Moreover, educate them about the dangers of sharing personal information or chat online with strangers. Children whose parents have talked with them about online/offline safety threats are more likely to report something unusual.

Taking action

Support from one or both parents is important in preventing cyber bullying and cheer children up. And let children know that parents will listen, believe and respond to their worries. Moreover, as teenage children spend more time away from parents, encourage them to trust themselves and be brave.

A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s1. a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m 2. . He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a3. , but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o 4. .Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment -- and this is not an ability that we can d5. , it’s something we are born with.

A great h 6.

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o7.people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.

An old man was sitting on the sofa with Mike, his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a dove(鸽子) landed on the ground.

The father asked his son, “What is this?”

The son replied, “It is a dove.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?”

The son said, “Father, I have just told you. It’s a dove.”

After a little while, the old father asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”

This time Mike could not control his anger and shouted, “It’s a dove, a dove. Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A DOVE’ Don’t you understand this?”

The old man silently took out an old diary, turned to a page and showed it to Mike. Though a little impatient(不耐烦), Mike began to read it.

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a dove landed on the ground. and my son asked me what it was. I smiled at him, said it was a dove and hugged him. After a while Mike asked me again and I did the same. Pointing to the same dove, little Mike asked me what it was 23 times and I kept on answering his question and hugging him every time.”

Something gently touched Mike’s heart. His face turned red with shame for being so impatient to his father and he hugged him tightly(紧紧地).

Your parents have given you many things in their lifetime, but you may not realize that until they are gone.
