     When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming, camp, and family
vacations, it can be a challenge to find time for learning.But kids' reading skills don't have to grow cold
once school's out.Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun:
     Explore your library.Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven't
seen before.Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even
the youngest borrowers.With a new library card, a child will feel extra grownup checking out books.
     Read on the road.Going on a long car trip?Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads.
When you're not at the wheel, read the books aloud.Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large
selections) and listen to them together during driving time.
     Make your own books.Pick one of your family's favorite parts of summer-whether it's baseball, ice
cream, or the pool-and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines.Stick the
pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it.When you're done, read the book together.
Reread it whenever you like!
     Keep in touch.Kids don't have to go away to write about summer vacation.Even if your family stays
home, they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures.Ask a relative to be
your child's pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
     Keep up the reading habits.Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading
routine  s around your house.Read with your kids every day-whether it's just before bedtime or under a
shady tree on a lazy afternoon.And don't forget to take a book to the beach!Just_brush_the_sand_off_

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
