14.Finding time to red is an important part of developing literacy 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.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?").While shopping,ask your preschooler to"read"pictures on boxes and tell you about them.Point out the difference between the words and the pictures on the boxes.Encourage older kids to tell you what's on the shopping list.
Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments.You can read recipes aloud to younger kids,and older kids can assist you as your cook by telling you how much flour to measure.Give your child a catalog to read while you sort through the mail.Ask relatives to send your child letters,e-mails,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.Younger kids can talk to you about the pictures in the favorite books.
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 importantly,be a reader yourself.Kids who see their parents reading are likely to resemble them and become readers,too!

This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men,who say that since women have claimed equality,they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else.But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men.Even if it is not agreed,however,the fact remains that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick.Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book,saying to ourselves,"First come,first served"while a grey-haired woman,a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands?Yet this is all too often seen.
Older people,tired and impatient from a day's work,are not always considerate either-far from it.Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses.One cannot approve this,of course,but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
It seems urgent,not only that communications in transport should be improved,but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.All over cities,it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite.Shop assistants won't bother to assist; taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus,and so on.It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.

Each year 35to 40percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.
Falling down is not just the result of getting older.Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances,and many falls can be prevented.
Here are 4simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.
Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling.
•If you don't have a regular exercise program,start one.Lack of exercise leads to weakness,and that increases your chances of falling.
•Exercise can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age.Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.
•If you are over 50and haven't exercised regularly,check with your health care provider about the
best type of exercise program for you.
Increase Your Home's Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling Risks
About half of all falls happen at home.To increase accessibility and make your home safer:
•Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.
•Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping.
•Have grab bars installed next to your toilet,and install grab bars in your tub or shower.
•Improve the lighting in your home.
•Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.
•Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.
You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers(especially backless styles),which can reduce your feeling of control.
Prevent Falling:Watch Out for Medication Side Effects
Age can affect the way some medications work in your body,so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while,it's important to tell your health care provider.He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take.
•Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦).These side effects can increase your risk of falling.This is especially important with over-the-counter cold and flu medications,which can often increase drowsiness.
•And don't forget herbal remedies(草药).Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication,which could increase your risk of falling down.Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.
Want to Prevent Falling?Have Your Vision Checked Regularly
Vision problems can increase your chances of falling.
•You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.
•To reduce your risk of falling,have your vision checked by an eye doctor every year for early detection and correction of vision problems.If you can't see something,it's harder to avoid it,and this increases your risk of falling.
