Unit 5 Travelling abroad Learning about language课时作业
阅读理解
A
As an adult, I like nothing better than to sit on the beach reading. If I have a satisfying reading time on the beach, I will be happy for many days. However, I'm sad to say it isn't really a thing for children. Most children would rather play in the waves
or play with sand. But the truth is that even when children are on vacation, they need reading time that we, adults, look forward to. The method is getting them to sit for 5
or 10 minutes to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
Books can probably get wet or filled with sand, They are then pretty much ruined. Some book chapters (章节) may be a little long. Your children may be willing to sit
for 10 minutes. However, they may be annoyed at reading if it takes longer than 10 minutes. And if your children are similar to my daughter, they are likely to love
reading on the beach.
Every time I go to the beach with my daughter, I will bring a magazine for her. Generally, magazines are not too heavy. They can also be thrown away if they get wet. Besides, they provide just the right amount of reading when my daughter is ready to
sit under the sun umbrella. Literary (文学的) magazines like Cricket, Spider and Ladybug will allow your children to read wonderful fiction. Discovery magazines like Click, Dig, and Faces have articles on all sorts of topics that will excite and interest your children. And like the short stories in the literary magazines, the articles have the right length (长度) for reading on the beach.
So don't leave magazines behind when you pack your bags! Put a magazine or two in the pocket of the bag and when your children need a few minutes to relax, pull it
out and get them to sit for 10 minutes or so.

morning I witnesd the effect that Kane’s physical shortcomings had on his family. But I also witnesd much more than that.
I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child. A family that
wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was different. Jolene had constructed a small cart
just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move
about, Kane moved the cart to “go to” any place just as everyone el was able to do. Kane worked that little cart like a master. Kane was a vital focus of the entire family.
He was more than just a member of the family; he was the soul. This child was the
driver, the motivator, and the founder of much of the interaction.
Much later in my life, I came to realize that God had nt this child to help some of
us who just weren’t getting what love was all about. Even with my limited capacity
for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly developed spirit with great
wisdom.
Kane demanded attention, but not becau of his mobility challenges or other
apparent shortcomings. In his mind, he had no challenges or shortcomings. The truth
is that he received attention becau he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy nt to us all, so we might
