How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.

Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览) the Internet.

A few other tips

●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.

●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.

●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.

●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

         Communicating effectively means more than knowing what to say and when to say it. Communication involves the subtle signals your body language sends to those who are watching. Here are some common body actions and the impressions they create:

● Fiddling (好动) — Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you’re bored or impatient.

● Clock watching — It looks like you’re to move on to something else.

● Tapping  — Tapping your feet or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.

● Staring — An unblinking (不眨眼的) stare conveys threatening or violent behaviour.

● Legs crossed or body hunched (弓背，耸肩)  — Closing up your body profile — becoming smaller — looks like you lack confidence.

● Arms crossed  — If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.

● Touching your face  — When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.

● Rubbing your nose, looking away  — People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.

● No eye contact  — If you won’t look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence. (Don’t forget staring above.)

         How you communicate with your body language is just as important as what you say. Watch your body language and control the unconscious messages you might be sending.

Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a   36   shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.

I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to   37   . She wanted to help,    38   she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to    39    and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my   40   cookies in them and began to   41   , offering them to anyone near me.

I    42    an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me    43   in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes    44    a little bit and he said, “No one has    45    called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.

It struck me.
