Do you regularly get together to talk with your family about problems or the day’s events? 1. Want to improve your family's communication skills? Try these simple steps.

Create opportunities for talking.

Make time for talking by reducing the number of unnecessary activities your family is involved in. And if you do find yourself in the car running from place to place, turn off the cell phones, and use that opportunity to catch up on the day’s activities.

2.In addition to bringing everyone together for a wrap-up(总结) of the day’s activities, insist on a few standing family meals. Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share what’s going on in each other’s lives.

Go on individual dates with your children.

3. Older teens might enjoy going out for a hamburger or a coffee at their favorite coffee place. Younger children often enjoy going to the supermarket, especially when you let them select their favorite food.

Listen more and speak less.

When trying to improve any relationship, listening is far more important than talking. It makes kids feel respected. 4.

5. Children feel comfortable sharing their problems with their parents, reducing the risk of peers(同龄人) having a negative influence on their lives.

About a week ago, my 4-year-old cousin and I were playing basketball at our local park. The was warm, and many other children were outside . As we played, I noticed a small group of boys a smaller, skinner, and possibly younger boy. They were calling his names and pushed him to the ground and dirt in his face. When I saw that, I grabbed my by the hand and walked over to the .

I stepped them and the younger boy, and asked them what this boy had done to deserve they were doing to him. They all silently for a moment, and then the most amazing thing : One of the boys who hadn’t said anything since I stepped around me and helped the small boy off the and then apologized. He offered to let him play with them, the boy quietly said “thank you” and refused, then left there.

As I looked around, I that there were dozens of other people at the park—some of them were with children of their own—but no one else had stopped to help this boy.

I’m Evan Ducker. I’m just like every other 15-year-old teenager, except that I was born with a red birthmark .Doctors don’t know the exact cause of birthmarks like mine---but they do know it occurs in about 3 of every 1,000 children all over the world.

Some birthmarks are marks of serious medical conditions. I’m very fortune--mine isn’t. I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get me annoyed sometimes. But, overall, my birthmark is just a spot on my skin. It’s not harmful to other people.

When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read for me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any for little kids. My mom knew I was disappointed. There weren’t any books with cool characters who had birthmarks.

So she said we could write our own. She took all my ideas and we created the first book of its kind to educate kids about birthmarks and also offer a more realistic, positive character with a birthmark. I based the story on all real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including a red-footed bird. When people ask why I picked a red-footed bird as the main character, I tell them that the bird has red feet, similar to a human birthmark! He is pretty cool.

It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused it. They would tell my family there wasn’t a market big enough for a book about birthmarks. But we knew the book wasn’t about birthmarks. It was about tolerance for people’s differences in general. We just picked a character with a birthmark because that was what I knew.

The majority of astronauts(宇航员)from America have been men.At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space.However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful.In 1978, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts.

Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different.Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L.Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977.She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space.During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research.She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.

Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident.In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space.They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel.Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies.She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L.She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers).It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight.Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space.Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest.It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.
