Today, we are told children don't spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some "wild time". They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide-and-seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mums and dads. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from the National Health Service says, "We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids' development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go."
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing "nature's playground" is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, "We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted."
This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you but there's no age limit on enjoying yourself!

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters (怪兽). The machines have names like Space Warrior. Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked "fire". They develop pains in their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen (肿胀的) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call "Space Warrior's Wrist".
Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders. Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.

If you've been joining in chat room conversation, or exchanging e-mail with your e-pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special short form of English. And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF (=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.
Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are "talking" online—many of them all talking at the same time. It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit (风趣), and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy (语言省略). There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do
Want to enter a conversation Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you're talking to A/ S/ L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/ M/ NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letter (大写字母) are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the "Shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going, too.
(1) How do many people talk on the Internet
A.By sending short e-mails.
B.By using a peculiar short form of English.
C.By using peculiar English words and expressions.
D.In a funny way.
(2) In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet, what should you do
A.You have to speak fast and fluently.
B.You should speak with wit and humor.
C.You should pay much attention to the use of exact words.
D.You have to express your ideas in a brief way.
(3) If you get 17/ F/ NY as an answer to your A/ S/ L, what does it mean
A.You are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York.
B.The person who is talking to you is a 17-foot-tall New York girl.
C.You are talking to 17 girls who are from New York.
D.The person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine.
(4) To save time on the Internet, what do people do
A.Some people leave their letters in the dustbin.
B.Some people never use "Shift" in their writing.
C.People seldom use capital letters and punctuation.

Use Phones Respectfully
You probably spend more time on your smartphone than any other possessions. You take it everywhere—to school, to meals, and even to the bathroom. But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending others around us. Here are some tips for smartphone usage. Take a look.
Use "do not disturb" instead of "vibrate (振动)".
Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing. People can hear your phone vibrate or not, depending on how violently it vibrates.
Tell others what you're doing.
Sometimes, you will be in a situation where you need to use your smartphone. If you don't, people will think that you're either interacting with someone else or just getting bored.
Respect others' privacy such as text messages and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message. While you're at it, use a password to make sure the information stays between you.
Ask permission to swipe (滑动).
When people hand you their phone to look at a photo, this doesn't mean you can look through all of their photo albums.
(1)
A.They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you, not every photo they have taken.
B.Just tell people what you're doing and why you're doing it.
C.It is difficult to ignore it and it distracts people from what they are doing.
D.Don't use the feature of SMS Preview on your home screen.
E.You should use your smartphone secretly.
F.Of course, using the smartphone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.
G.So it's thrilling to look through all their photos.

It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who was five years old, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, "Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone." Seeing that there was a flower stall (摊位) at the front of the supermarket, he added, "Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better." I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed."
Medical staff had arrived. and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that moment, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you very much." He then turned to me, "You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, "Happy Mother's Day to you, too."
