| TORONTO - A new report from the Vanier Institute for the family says that there are more problem children today than 50 years ago. York University professor Anne Ambert, the writer of the report, says that bad influences on children come from parents, schools, neighbors, the media (媒体), etc. Children today have bad behavior. They argue more with others. They stop others when others are talking. They are less polite to others. They choose to fight ra  ther than discuss when they disagree with each other. When they have disagreements with their parents, they want to run away from home. They tell more lies (谎话). When they need money, they would rather steal (偷) than work hard. There is not enough family education about how kids behave well. Parents should care more about their kids. There are more and more single-parent families and more violence (暴力) on TV and in other kinds of media. The report is a study about why there are more children with bad behavior. Everyone should pay more attention to this problem. |

| Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones (音调). Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take pleasure in pop music. Most young people like pop music. Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 60s. The best-known early kind of pop music was "rock and roll". Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value (价值), but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world. |

| During the 1890s, basketball was becoming the most popular gym game in America. But basketball was not a good sport for older people to play, because of much running in the game. So in 1895, William Morgan, a gym teacher in Holyoke, Massachusetts, America, decided to invent a new game that would be good for older persons too. He invented a game which was played with the same kind of ball as basketball, but more like tennis. At first Morgan called the game "minonette". But when he watched players hitting the ball back and forth (向前) with their hands, or "volleying (凌空截球)", he changed the name to volleyball. Volleyball and basketball, which were both invented in the nineteenth century, have become two of the most popular games. Today, volleyball has more and more players and spectators (观众) around the world. |
