Imagine a drug that could enhance a child's creativity and critical thinking. Imagine that this drug were simple to make, safe (take) and could be had for free.
The nation's leading pediatricians (儿科医生) say this miracle compound exists. In a new clinical report, they are urging doctors to prescribe（开处方） to the children in their care.
What is this wonder drug? Play.
"This may seem old-fashioned, there are skills to be learned when kids are not told to do," said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician. it is physical play, outdoor play, or social or pretend play, kids draw important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go along, he said.
The advice, was issued in August by the American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会), may come as a shock to some parents. After they spend years (worry) over which toys to buy, which apps to download and which skill-building programs to send their kids to after school, letting them simply play — or better yet, playing with them — may seem like a step backward.
The pediatricians insist that it is not. The academy does not include specific recommendations for the amount of play. Instead, it (ask) doctors to advise parents before their babies turn two play is essential to healthy development.
When parents engage in play with their children, it deepens relationships and offsets（抵消）the bad effects of all kinds of stress, including poverty, the academy says. In the pediatricians' view, essentially every life skill (value) in adults can be built up with play.

It was very hot outside. The Chengdu Little Warriors were facing off against the Legendary Mighty Dragons of Beijing at a local indoor skating-rink (溜冰场). When I arrived, the Little Warriors, whose oldest player was eight years old, had just their northern competitors. Near the lockers, a poster advertised hockey classes. Olympic has begun to spread so far south that Chengdu now has nine skating-rinks and local hockey leagues for both kids and adults. It clearly shows China's to take the opportunity of holding the Olympics to promote winter sports across the country.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games were praised as a success by almost every : the wonderful opening ceremony, the tight security, the large crowds of volunteers, and Team China's place atop the gold-medal rankings. Each aspect of the event signaled the country's arrival as a world power, capable of competing with the best and winning.
If 2008 was about China getting a seat at the table, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games a different purpose. China's status as a global power is no longer in question. Beijing 2022 will not be just a two-week sporting event but the of a multi-year campaign to promote winter sports. " We no longer need to put on shows of ten thousand people performing Tai Chi," said Zheng Kan. " Now we just want to show that we are relatable. "
While the audience for winter sports may still be a small, relatively rich group, it is growing. To prove his commitments (承诺) to winter sports, President Xi Jinping a " three hundred-million-person winter-sports plan. " The plan is aimed at raising China's participation rate in winter sports from less than two percent to twenty-two percent. Some schools in Beijing have already introduced courses to winter sports. A high-speed rail line that was opened at the end of 2019 cuts travel time between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, where many of the events will be held in 2022, to under an hour.
With all these efforts, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games are to be wonderful and unforgettable.
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effort than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe , people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce other meals.

WE COMBAT ANIMAL DISEASES TOGETHER! We want to prevent serious animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever and African swine fever from spreading to Finland. These and other animal diseases can be transmitted from one country to another by animals or by meat and dairy products even if they are packed for personal consumption or intended as gifts. Travelers like you play an important role in preventing the spread of animal diseases. Don't bring meat, meat products, milk and dairy products from non-EU countries to Finland! A ban on personal imports applies to meat and dairy products brought into Finland by travelers or ordered and sent through the post. The ban applies to food stuffs intended for personal consumption or as gifts and to pet food. If you have food products of animal origin with you, throw them in a waste container in the point of entry or contact Customs! Bringing meat-containing products as presents and for personal use from an EU country to Finland At the moment, there are EU countries with cases of African swine fever. In those countries there are restriction areas and, as a rule, pork and wild bear meat or products containing these meats may not be imported from these areas into Finland. Import is allowed only under very strict criteria controlled by local authorities. However, the sales of these meat products within the country may be allowed. In the EU, the disease has been detected in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Belgium and Italy (Sardinia), for instance. It is difficult for travelers to know and prove from which area meat products originate and whether the products on sale meet all criteria. This is the reason why we recommend that people avoid importing any meat products containing pork or wild bear meat as presents or for personal use from countries with African swine fever. PLEASE NOTE! Never leave any food waste or leftover in the environment or places where they may be eaten by wildlife. Never give food waste or leftover to production animals or to pet pigs. Thank you for helping us to prevent the spread of animal diseases. We wish you a pleasant journey! |
