Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book.Either the author has aimed too 3 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 13 of this.

Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop o 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash childrensintos 18 our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.

Ever driven into a traffic jam just after the guy on the radio said the road was all clear? Or prepared yourself for the crowdedness he warned about only to zip right through?

A large number of private companies say they have the one thing that can ease such frustrations: better information.

Now one of those companies, SpeedInfo Inc., has fixed 50 solar--powered, wireless radar sensors along main roads in the District of Columbia that take readings of average traffic speeds twice a minute in both directions.

The company says the sensors provide a far more accurate picture of road conditions than can be collected from helicopters or highway patrol alerts.

In a business model that SpeedInfo hopes will develope around the country, the San Jose, California--based company is letting the city use the data for traffic planning free of charge, in exchange for access to the side of the road. Speedlnfo plans to sell the information to paying customers, including broadcasters and companies that provide information for in--car navigation equipment.

The problem with traditional traffic reports is that in most of the country, they rely on highway patrol accident reports that come 30 to 40 minutes late and a few helicopters that get into the sky during rush hour, SpeedInfo Chief Executive Doug Finlay said.

"Chopper Bill gets in the sky and says, 'Oh, I'm looking at the road and the cars are going slow, "' Finlay said. "Chopper Bill is the best data you got."

Tim Lomax, a researcher at the Texas Transportation Institute, said a recent increase of high--tech traffic data systems is good for drivers.

"Even if it doesn't get rid of traffic crowdedness, they at least give people an idea of what sort of choices they're facing and more control over their destiny, which is part of the frustrating element of traffic crowdedness," Lomax said.
