I usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, 1 was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children between 9 and 17 have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope.
At the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later.They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.
【小题1】What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50 years ago?

A．SurprisingB．ConfusingC．IllogicalD．Questionable
【小题2】What does the author mean by saying “ we can’t turn the clock back(Para. 3)?
A．It’s impossible to slow down the pace of the change.
B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D．It’s impossible to forget the past.
【小题3】According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children 50 years ago __________.
A．were less isolated physically
B．were probably less self-centered
C．probably suffered less from anxiety
D．were considered less individualistic
【小题4】What is the first and most important thing parents should do to help their children?
A．To provide them with a safer environment.
B．To lower their expectations for them.
C．To get them more involved socially.
D．To set a good model for them to follow.
【小题5】What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A．Anxiety, though always unavoidable, can be coped with.
B．Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated(夸大).
C．Children’s anxiety can be removed with more parental care.
D．Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.

Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 【小题3】

【小题4】Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.

Good nutrition (营养)and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily .No matter how old your kids are , you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits .Here are some suggestions.

Family Meals

Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.

Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.

Stocking up (储备) on healthy food

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines — the food which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.

Being a good example

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.

No conflicts over food

Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy food in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are aske d to eat.

Get kids included

Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help them make good decisions on their own about the  food they want to eat.

Have you ever thought about developing your kids’interests in a positive manner? Have you thought about using music to help them focus their energies on a wonderful pursuit (追求)? Do you realize that by doing so, you will better equip them in life? Your little child will love you all his or her life for the first music lessons that you may give.

Most kids have an interest in music. The only thing to do for you is to give direction to their interests so that they can focus on learning the fine art. Music teaches children to be persistent and disciplined. It also teaches them to try towards perfection and be a good team player. All this helps them not only in their studies but also in facing the challenges of life. Thus music at home and home recording are the first lessons you can present to your children.

How to maintain the interests of kids in various kinds of music and instruments?  To solve this problem, it is important that at the beginning you bring home something that can hold the child’s interest for quite some time. This would include instruments such as electric guitar or drums. Encourage them to download music which is free over the Internet.

Another thing to remember is that no one becomes an expert overnight. Have patience with your child. No point in fussing over his skills too much. A few words of appreciation will mean the world to them. Ask for their opinions and stick to the choice for quite some time. Be generous in praise.

Music is the perfect gift you can present to your kids. It is never too late and the sooner you start, the better.

It seems as if cell phone could be the protection that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for.

Not only could they call you if necessary, but  43  Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipped on many mobile phones today, your son and his friend could also be  44  easily. Plus, with an additional service, you could track the boys'  45  location. Or consider this: If your daughter is  46   herself and three friends to a concert, she could  47  out exactly how to locate the concert location and get back home by using her equipped cell phone.And through a(n)  48   software package,you could   49   her whereabouts (行踪).

  50  tracking devices as we all consider useful, however, have  51  .If the boys urgently needed help during the ride,  52  might be too late by the time someone found them.
