If you want to do a school project on children's rights(权利),you can look on the Internet for some information.A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children.Most countries agree with all of them,but some countries do not.The following are some of the most important rights of children:
◆Children have the right to be properly fed,clothed and sheltered(庇护)by their family.If their family can't do so,the government should take responsibility.
◆Children have the right to an education and medical care,which should be provided by the government.
◆Children must not be cruelly punished(惩罚)by their parents or any others.
◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse(虐待)and neglect(忽略).
◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights.Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms.In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education.There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of children are,therefore,the rights people think children should have.They are not always the rights children really have.

What is time?Is time the same all over the world?You may say that's an easy question.Wherever(无论哪里)you go,a minutes 60 seconds,an hour is 60 minutes,a day is 24 hours and so on.But in America,time is more than that.Americans see time as a valuable(贵重的)resource(资源).(A)Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression(表达)“Time is money”.
(B)Americans believe time is a limited(有限的)resource,so they all try hard to save it and use it in an efficient(有效的)way.No one can express the view(观点)better than the early American hero Benjamin Franklin,“Do you love life?Then do not waste(C),for that is the stuff(材料)fife is made of.”
(D)To Americans,being on time is a way of showing respect(尊重)for others' time.If someone is(E)over ten minutes later than they have planned(计划),he has to say sorry or tell the reason.People who are running late(迟到)often call ahead(提前)to let others know of the delay(延期).The lifestyles(生活方式)of Americans show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event,they often set(定)the time several days or weeks before it.Once the time is fixed(确定),it is hardly changed,unless(除非)the situation is critical(紧急的).If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit,they usually ring you up to make sure(确信)you have time and are at home.Besides,(F)大部分美国人不愿意晚上十点以后打电话,without anything important.
To outsiders(局外人),Americans seem tied to(受……束缚)the clock,while they themselves like plans to be fixed and unchangeable.
Time is one of life's most precious(珍贵的)gifts.And unwrapping(打开)is great fun.
