to a new literacy (读写能力) project that inspires boys to read and rewards them with free haircuts.
George Cook ?, a sixth grader at Middle Township Middle School in Cape May Court House, is
just one of the 2010 Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners for his creative communitybased
project that offers reading inspiration.
America's youngsters created some big ideas to get kids reading. This year, Youth Leaders for
Literacy is awarding 30 cash grants of $ 500 each to winners, totaling $ 15,000.
The National Education Association (NEA) joined forces with Youth Service America (YSA) to
develop Youth Leaders for Literacy to encourage community service through innovative (创新的)
youthdesigned programs that benefit others in their communities. The national competition received
more than 200 entries (参赛作品)-an amount that continues to grow each year with the program's
popularity.
"Educators and parents face a daily challenge of how to develop children's interest in reading,"
said NEA President Reg Weaver. "When youngsters are encouraged to brainstorm and design
literacy programs for their generation, it's another solution for the__reading__blues that really
works."
Developed in 2001, the youthled activities are started on NEA's Read Across America Day,
celebrated this year on Monday, March 3, and end during YSA's Global Youth Service Day,
scheduled for April 25-27, 2010. Attached is a list of the 30 grant winners being honored from
across the country.
"The Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners demonstrate global caring and decisions,
showing the world that young people can be leaders today, not in some distant tomorrow," said
Steve Culbertson, president and CEO of YSA. "By combining the dynamics of leadership, service
and learning, the Youth Leaders for Literacy recipients build one of the most important skills-the
ability to read."

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. With an obese (very fat) or overweight population of 66% percent of adults, teaching your kids healthy eating habits is one of the most important things you can do for them as a parent. Most parents and children claim that breakfast is part of their everyday routines. But for many more than you might think, it's not. Children who eat breakfast have higher math grades, have improved reading scores and basically perform better in school. They also tend to have healthier bodies in general, with better-controlled weight levels. When you take them to the grocery store with you, it's doubtless that your children will request the most sugar-filled, fat-injected products on the shelf. But these are not the ones to have in your home-you should avoid buying them at all. Be sure your kids have healthy snacks. Yes, kids like white bread. But any kid can get used to the taste of whole grains. It just takes a little practice. Look for white bread, and add other whole grains into their diet. Start toasting their sandwiches. When it's toasted, it'll be that much harder for them to tell the difference in taste. It's simple, it's true, and it's something you already know: kids who get plenty of exercise are healthier kids. Set limits on the amount of time your child may spend in front of the television or computer screen. Sign them up for plenty of sports and outdoor activities. And best of all, get involved in sports and exercise with them. One of the best things you can do to establish healthy eating habits in your kids is to have them yourself. You can tell your kids every day to eat healthy foods, but if you don't do the same thing yourself, the lesson will never stick.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Tomatoes are the world's most popular fruit rich in nutrition like Vitamin A, C, fibre and lycopene (番茄红素). Researchers have found that consuming lycopene helps in preventing cancer. Tomato also helps in keeping the skin healthy and young by protecting from harmful rays. Since lycopene is present in the cellular wall of tomato, it is better to consume cooked tomato to have higher concentration of lycopene. So tomatoes are a wonderful fruit. Then how to grow tomatoes? First, there should be regular and even watering in the fields where tomatoes grow. You can also add fertilizer to have better results. Plant the tomato plants with enough space(for example 2 to 3 inch space)between each other to lessen spreading of disease and pests and help the fruits get enough sunlight. Provide support like pole when the plants grow up to prevent from disease and to increase the crop product. In order to make your tomatoes grow well, you should take some useful tips. For example, choose variety based on the season and soil type that you are growing. Planting site should have enough sunlight to have more fruits. Prune(修剪)the tomato plants if necessary to maintain a manageable size. Check tomato plants regularly for any kind of pests and diseases. To people's regret, tomatoes possibly suffer from some diseases during their growth. So you must try your best to prevent them. Soil should be free from debris(残骸)of earlier plant remains and should be treated first before tomato plantation like solarizing(晒) to prevent from pests. It is always better to choose resistant plant varieties and follow crop rotation(轮作)as far as possible.
