12．The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids．（36）E
Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what's appropriate for our family：
Monitor television time．Choosing good shows isn't a big issue if you're not watching a lot of television，so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying，"Go play．"（37）G
Don't trust network ratings．A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn't take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important．（38）B
There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now，many with highly inappropriate topics．
（39）F
The bottom line is，I want to know what my kids are watching，and if the TV is on my time in our home，I want to first approve of the show ahead of time，and second to watch it with my kids so that I'm aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention（干涉）．
Talk about the show with your kids．As kids get older，we realize that we can't shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn't fit exactly with our values．They're going to hear a swear word from time to time-and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we're watching are kissing．（40）C

A．If it doesn't feel good，turn it off．
B．And be aware of cartoons!
C．We can talk about what we see，though，using story-lines to teach lessons when possible．
D．The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set．
E．But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set？
F．Watch TV with them．
G．Still，a little bit of television doesn't hurt and can be fun．

11．Students in American schools learn from an early age to give presentations（演讲） as part of their regular classroom activities．Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects they bring in to school-called"show and tell，"and this training is a basis for later public speaking．Even so，many native English-speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group．
Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees．The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment．Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes．One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters．Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings．At the meetings，members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style．
Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant．He began his career in Japan in 1982．Currently，he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center．He has also written books on the subject．
English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech．Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non-native speakers．Mr．LeBeau says a simple approach helps English learners．
"The approach that I've taken is to simplify and break it down．First if we look at a presentation，what's going on，there are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience，all simultaneously（同时）．There's what I call the physical message．Physical message is basically body language．It's the way that my body，as a speaker，is talking to the audience．And then there's also the visual message．The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience．The third message is the story message．The story message is the content of our presentation．So another way we can think of the story messages is that it's the verbal message，and it's what we say to the audience．The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience，"LeBeau said．
