Children can form healthy relationships with people online. But they may not fully understand the difference between a friend and a stranger. You could make the question clearer to your children. For example, "____" They may not want to share the information with you, so make sure you teach them about healthy relationships. |
Have a conversation about what personal information is and how this can influence them if it is not shared right. It's important that your child understands the dangers of sharing contact details, as information such as this can help bad persons reach you easily. |
Many children fail to talk about what happens online because of their embarrassment (尴尬), so they don't turn to people who would help them. When kids are in need of help with their online problems, tell them where to go for help and how to report any activity they believe is wrong online. |
Once upon a time, there was an unlucky man. His home was very poor—a small and empty house, where mice made their nests and spiders (蜘蛛) made their webs.
People tried to avoid coming into his house—why should they go into those poor ruins? And the poor man thought that poverty (贫穷) is the reason for his bad luck.
Once, the poor man met a wizard (巫师) and complained (抱怨) to him about his poverty and unhappy life. The wizard felt sorry for the poor man and gave him a beautiful vase. And said, "This is a magical vase that will save you from poverty."
The poor man took the vase and wanted to sell it for wine at first, as usual, after all, why would he need such a beautiful thing? But then he started admiring the vase and wouldn't take it to the market. He brought it home, put it on the table and started admiring it again.
"It's not right for such a beautiful thing to be empty," the poor man thought. So he picked some wild flowers and put them into the vase.
It became even more beautiful.
"Not good," the poor man thought again, "that such a beautiful thing stands next to a spider web."
So the poor man started cleaning his house from spider webs, sweeping out mice, cleaning the dust, washing the floor and walls, whitening the ceiling.
And it became clear that his house wasn't poor, but rather warm and comfortable. And the man wasn't a poor man anymore, but a hard-working host, who had no time for the thoughts about bad luck.
a. The man cleaned his house.
b. The man wasn't poor anymore.
c. The man wanted to sell the vase.
d. The man got a vase from a wizard.
e. The man started to admire the vase.
Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field (磁场), while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when the swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a____mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily a night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
