My husband，Mi老旧小区改造实施方案chael，a manager of an ordinary company，came home from work one day saying，“It’s not looking good.” At midnight，I woke up eing him sitting in a chair，his hand on his forehead．I was worried．I had to cheer him up and help ourlves financially．
As an advisor for top companies and a teacher in creative thinking at the college of New Jewy for years．I thought of a good plan．What if we undertake an adventure while making射手座和天秤座 money from it? As a family，we’d always talked about traveling more， but we’d been tied to routines．Now I saw no point in sitting around worrying when we could e the
country．We'd take our three young kids，teach them on the road. It was the perfect time before they reached high school．We’d rent out our hou．
Michael disagreed at first but realized that with his cell phone，and computer，he could work any河鲈鱼where．
We listed our hou for rent and created a brand strategy，logo，and website for us-familyofftrack.com-and persuade five companies to support us．Their ads on our site would help pay travel costs，and we’d promote their brands on our trip in exchange for their support．
With everything done，we took off on April 3．All spring and summer，we visited national landmarks and treasured lands. By August when we returned home，Michael’s company continued to slide and now may have to clo down．But we’ve made the travel a permanent part of our lives. What’s more，with a Chicago-bad production company I've developed the Family Off 南海冲突Track brand by creating videos，educational programs and exhibits．And Michael has new ideas for management business．It's gr
eat to e the spark in hi s eyes again．
Now I feel it even more．Together we taught our kids a lesson：Nobody ever made history by liv年终感言ing 100 percent by the book in times of recession(不景气)．

Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read．People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write．Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence．The problem involves areas of the brain that process language．Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them
early help．John Gabrieli at the Massachutts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area．
They studied in the schools with kindergartens．And for all the children joining in the study，they give them a brief t of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read．So far，fifty of them have been examined in a scanner，a special machine，to show brain activity．Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems，while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems．And with reading problems，early identification is important．When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties，the younger the child, the more effective they are．
Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade．The later children are recognized as poor readers，the less treatment can help．And，as Professor Gabrieli points out，poor reading can make education a struggle．Reading is everything．Even math and science have textbooks．
