Every child should have a solid science education whether they want to be the next Albert Einstein or Michael Jordan.Science is all around us，it is everywhere，reaching everything that we do.The  “we”  in that last statement includes children.Children that understand how science plays a role in our everyday lives have a wonderful foundation (基础) for success in life.

Children can learn science at any age really.The earlier they start the better.The best way for kids to learn is through play and repetition.There are wonderful science toys for preschool science activities.With play being the best way kids learn，it only makes sense then to introduce toys to them that encourage understanding science.Children love to use their imagination to have fun and to help them understand the world around them.So play is a wonderful time to be introducing science to them.Think of the games that we used to play：Don’t Spill the Beans，Don’t Break the Ice，the Telephone Game，Lincoln Logs，each of these games has science behind it.

Children are by nature curious (好奇的) as they feel out the world，trying to make sense of what is around them.Science feeds that curiosity that they have.It is a hunger that needs to be encouraged and satisfied.Finding these toys is not as hard as one would think.To make sure that you get good quality toys，visit science toy shops online.These are the best places to find unique (独特的) science toys such as 3­D space projectors，or Hydro Greenhouses.

Help your children appreciate the world around them by understanding the world around them.This way，they understand how we are all connected together.Children will not only question the world，but be able to come up with answers to those questions on their own.Science is life.

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

    Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life. 

1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.

A. work fast                          B. go polite                     C. stay relaxed                    D. keep attentive

2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.

A. his son’s doing better while standing up

B. his failure in keeping his son under control

C. his own experience as a school boy

D. his disappointment with his active child

3.By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.

A. correct their kids’ manners from the early ages

B. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors

C. develop a good relationship with their children

D. guarantee their children’s freedom at home

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Parental help with teens’ study

B. Adult influence on teen growth

C. Kids’ success in their own styles

D. Friendship between generations

After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why answer to the question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife?” Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.

Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second．class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society  made“going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day?  I would be every curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would  pie up．Food in the house would run out．There would be no learn clothes when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．

I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last? Not 1ong, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after clearing out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to craw（爬）into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.

1．What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?

       A．Cooking.                                             B．Tidying the house.

       C．Driving a taxi.                                     D．Some unpaid work.

2．The underlined word “notion” in the second paragraph can be replaced by the word        .

       A．mother                B．citizen                 C．similarity             D．thought

3．We can learn from the second paragraph        .

       A．mothers are actually great women         B．our society looks down upon housewives

       C．housewives should go on a strike          D．doing housework is not important at all

4．The possible main idea of the third paragraph is        .

       A．men should share housework with their wives

       B．attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well

       C．kids are the most challenging part of the housework

       D．men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife

Many years ago, there was a story of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume.
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day， she stopped teaching reading, writing and maths. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a letter from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.（医学博士）.
The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear， “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you."
【小题1】What first impression did Teddy give Mrs. Thompson?
