Boredom is something to experience. If kids don't understand this at a young age, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. School, let's face it, can be dull (枯燥的), and it isn't actually the teacher's job to entertain(娱乐) as well as educate.
In a much-read story, The Relentlessness of Modern Parenting, Claire Cain Miller referred to a recent study that found that regardless of class, income or race, parents believed that “children who were bored after school should take part in extracurricular(课外的)activities, and that parents who were busy should stop their task and draw with their children if asked."
Parents preparing for a long car ride are like army officers planning a complex land maneuver(演习)with the help of games and movies played on iPads and smartphones. What did parents in the 1970s do when kids were bored Nothing! They let them breathe in gas fumes. And since it wasn't actually for wearing, play with the broken safety belt. If you complained about being bored back then, you were really asking for it. “Clean your room,” you might get. Was this fun No. Was it helpful Yes.
Because things happen when you're bored. Some of the most boring jobs I've had were also the most creative. While checking out food at the supermarket, I invented stories about people's purchases (购买之物). The man buying eggplant and a six-pack of beer at 9 p.m.: Which was the must-get thing and which the impulse (冲动) purchase How did my former fifth-grade teacher feel about my observing her weekly purchase of cookies
The ability to do with boredom, not surprisingly, is connected with the ability to focus. Research has shown that people with attention disorders are particularly poor in dealing with boredom.
It's especially important that kids get bored - and be allowed to stay bored-when they're young. It shouldn't be considered “a problem” to be avoided or removed by the higher-ups, but instead something kids deal with on their own. We've stopped training children to do this. Rather than teach them to understand material that is duller, teachers spend more time inventing ways to “attract” students. But surely teaching children to stand boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future.
1. What is the finding of the study mentioned by Claire Cain Miller
A. School kids find it hard to stand boredom.
B. People are too busy to draw with their kids.
C. Extracurricular activities are gaining popularity.
D. Parents are trying their best to make their kids have fun.
2. What did parents in the 1970s usually do when kids were bored on a long car ride
A. They played with them. B. They left them alone.
C. They told them about famous movies.
D. They asked them to pay attention to safety.
3.Why does the author share her experience at the supermarket
A. To show customers' purchasing habits.
B. To show what a difficult life she was living.
C. To show boredom and jobs go hand in hand.
D.To show the connection between boredom and creativity.
4.What would be the best title for the text
A. Kids have enough fun B. Life is a boring journey
C. Let kids get bored again D. Turn boredom into entertainment

Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It reminds people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a serious problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.
Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.
So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.
Title: Introduction to World Food Day
The UN’s purpose(目的) to start this day To remind people not to 1 food and fight hunger.
Facts of food shortage 2 1,000 million people are hungry each year. 15 million children die of hunger each year.
3 for food shortage There are more 4 disasters now.
The number of people is becoming 5 .
◆The problem of food waste is 6 all over the world.
7 to stop food waste 8 order more than you can eat at a restaurant. Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered. Be sure not to 9 more food at home than you need.
Conclusion Everyone should know the 10 of saving food.

Everyone has his or her own favorite food. Some people like apples, pears, bananas, chicken ,dumplings and so on. But I like hamburgers best. I think it is quicker, faster and more delicious than any other food. And I learned from TV how to make it . Let me tell you how to make it .
First, you should cut two pieces of bread . Then, take one piece of bread in your hand , and then , add some fried chicken and some vegetables on it .
After that , put anther piece bread on them. Finally, heat it for a short while, and then a hamburger is ready.
Why not have a try Learning to do DIY is very interesting and exciting. What’s more, making food by ourselves is cleaner and safer.
