Welcome to the Amazing Kids Website! Here you can read about clever children all over the world.

Gina, who is thirteen years old, got the first prize in the “Young Cook of the Year” competition and is now writing her own recipe(烹饪) book for kids. “ I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use,” she says. Gina learned by observing(观察) her father, who’s also good at cooking, in the kitchen. She wants to encourage other children to cook because “everyone needs to eat, so it’s a skill that always be useful!”

Fourteen-year-old Bren used to love running until he had a serious car accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn’t even expect to walk again. Now he’s an athlete who has recently completed a marathon. “ After my accident I wanted to give up,” he says, “ But now I’m happy to be alive and able continue running.”

Helga has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town. “That gave me an idea,” says the clever sixteen-year-old girl. It took her over a year to invent a special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it may be in the shops soon!

   How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory”. It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brain is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.

There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brain “cool”, which makes us think quicker.

Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:

·Eat healthy foods.

·Get a lot of playtime or exercise.

·Don’t drink or smoke.

·Use your brain a lot.

    Everyone knows Smokey the Bear in the USA!

    ----You see him on TV.

    ----You see him in the paper.

----You hear him on the radio.

 Smokey always wears a forest ranger’s (护林员) hat. And he says the same words over and over, “Be careful! Only you can prevent forest fires!”

   Who first thought of him, and why? His story goes back to 1945. before then, there were many, many forest fires. Big trees were burned down. Land was burned black in many places. Careless people started most of the fires. They did not put out their campfires, or threw away matches that were still burning.

“Let’s tell people something about forest fires! Let’s tell them they often start the fires,” said a man named Mr. Gray.

“Good!” said Mr. Ross. “ Now, what’s the best way to tell them?”

“A friendly bear could tell them,” said Mr Gray.

Everyone agreed. So Smokey was “born”---name, hat and everything! Ever since then, he has had a green job. And he has done it well. People are more careful now because of the friendly bear. Smokey keeps telling us, again and again, “ Put out that match. Put out that campfire! Only you can prevent forest fires!”

Smokey often makes us feel good, too! He says, “ Thanks for being careful.”

   Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “ When anything happens, believe in yourself.”
