learn is through play and repetition.There are wonderful science toys for preschool science activities.With
play being the best way kids learn. it only makes sense then to introduce toys to them that encourage
understanding science.Children love to use their imagination to have fun and to help them understand the
world around them.So play is a wonderful time to be introducing science to them.Think of the games that we used to play:Don"t Spill the Beans. Don"t Break the Ice. the Telephone Game. Lincoln Logs. each of
these games has science behind it.
Children are by nature curious (好奇的) as they feel out the world. trying to make sense of what is
around them.Science feeds that curiosity that they have.It is a hunger that needs to be encouraged and
satisfied.Finding these toys is not as hard as one would think.To make sure that you get good quality toys. visit science toy shops online.These are the best places to find unique (独特的) science toys such as 3D
space projectors. or Hydro Greenhouses.
Help your children appreciate the world around them by understanding the world around them.This
way. they understand how we are all connected together.Children will not only question the world. but
be able to come up with answers to those questions on their own.Science is life.

parents end up admitting that they do it, according to Dr Kenneth Hardy."All parents have favorites, "
he believes.
Hardy said children were often aware of it, too.The kids didn"t hesitate to nod when asked whether
their mother favored one."If you ask two children from the same family which one is the favorite and
both point to themselves, there"s no problem, " he says."If both kids point one way, you know you
have a problem."
"It seems that she doesn"t love me, " Jamie started to say when he was asked if his mother loved
him, and then corrected himself, "She does love me, but she seems to like Chris more." Their mother
said she loved both boys, but sometimes found that Jamie"s complaining could make her dislike him."I
don"t think with Chris I ever have that same feeling."She also said she found Chris more lovely.
Like the other mothers, Dianne Ely said she felt guilty when she realized how much she was favoring
one of her children.She thought it was just not right to treat her children differently.
Like Jamie, Morgan Johnson is aware that__________in her family."They don"t like me that much, "
Morgan said."It doesn"t make me feel angry, but it makes me feel sad, "she added.
But_Hardy_said_parents_should_keep_in_mind_that_each_of_their_children_had_good_and_bad
_qualities.The most important thing, Hardy said, was for parents to admit the favoritism."It"s not a horrible
thing for a parent to look at herself in the mirror and say, "You know what, I do like one more than the
other."I think that"s a good sign, and a good healthy first start."

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies(欺负)go to make other kids a miserable
school life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place.
The study, presented recently at the American Public Health Association"s yearly meeting in
Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than 10,000 middleschool students
who answered questions online.
Of those researched,43%said they"d been physically bullied within the last month.A bit more than
half said they"d been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names.
About onethird said groups had excluded (排斥)them to hurt their feelings.28% said their belongings
had been taken or broken;21%said someone threatened to hurt them.According to the results,
twothirds of the students said they"d been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.
The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they"d missed school at
least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they"d taken other actions,
such as missing recess(课间), not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from
some area of the school to escape from experiencing a bully.
Bullies did too much to the school life.
B. classrooms
C. bathrooms
D. teachers" offices
B. Fear at School
C. Bullies at School
D. School Problems
B. go for lunch
C. hurt others
D. break others" belongings
B. disappointed
C. worried
D. puzzled
young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularlyheld image of unhappy
teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more
harmonious than it has ever been in the past."We were surprised by just how positive today"s young
people seem to be about their families, "said one member of the research team."They"re expected to
be rebellious(叛逆的 )and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car
and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well.There"s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family
decisionmaking process.They don" t want to rock the boat. "
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat
their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, "
says 17yearold Daniel Lazall. "I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing.As long as they know
what I"m doing, they"re fine with it."Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees."Looking back on the last 10
years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my
homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my
parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of
teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say
they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when
teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their
parents really happened during the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout
history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
B. They dislike living with their parents.
C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
B. are much stricter with their children
C. careless about their children"s life
D. give their children more freedom
B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
