| "Time is a problem for children," says a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don"t wear watches" and "parents don"t really know how to teach them time." The children grow up with this handicap and become adults and then can"t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course it"s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company. The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it only "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to "blue" minutes on the dial (钟面), while Flak points to "red" hour numbers. The characters and colors together with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine," The product is being sold in some department stores in Europe, Asia and the United Stares for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may find that it is odd thing to tell time; it"s quite another for them to be on time. |

| [ ] |
| A．parents are patient when they are teaching children time B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time C．children in every country learn time slowly D．children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch |

Have you ever copied someone else"s work on an exam? Don"t do it again! That is not something an honest student should do.

April is Bird-Loving Month in our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone. Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others, not only yourself. Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you"ll discover Earth Ⅱsomeday. Don"t look down on new ideas. Everyone"s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make lire better for everyone. Protect yourself.
