对于孩子,在所有的消遣时间中讲故事排名在电视或视频游戏之前.82%的人说跟父母读故事使他们睡得更好.这一发现来自英国年龄在3-4岁的500名孩子的调查.据研究,有两种方式可以让妈妈成为最好的讲故事的人.在故事中他们可以使用滑稽的声音表现出不同的人物.她们也能用自己特别的声音使故事有趣味性和吸引力.当爸爸妈妈都不在的时候,名人将会做到:超过30%的孩子说他们想听到像哈利•波特,影星丹尼尔•雷德克里夫的睡前故事.其他电影明星像Zac Efron,麦莉赛勒斯,艾玛沃特森也受到孩子们的欢迎.

searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels?The answers will probably be"Yes".Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it.But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places.We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time.Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich,powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth.They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet.And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
