How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle (丛林), filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated . "Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we are cutting them from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener ". But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or to do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips:
--- Don't put the PC in the child's room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
--- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friend they make online,
--- Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
--- And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
25. What is the best way to protect children from improper materials?
A. To fix a content screener on the computer. B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.
13
C. To talk to them and persuade them to tell right from wrong. D. To buy some search engines for children.
26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.
B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet.
C. Search engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
D. Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.
27. According to the passage, we can infer that _____.
A. softwares fit for children want programming. B. the Internet will be protected by law
C. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sites D. a child who is on-line is in danger
28. What does the passage tell us most?
A. Education. B. Precautions. C. Search engines. D. Software.

As those with experience know, children with special needs can require extra help during the holidays. 36 Here are some suggestions that may help.
Allow the child to have as much of their routine as possible. A treasured stuffed animal by the child’s side can go a long way towards helping him or her feel centered in the busy holiday rush. A beloved blanket can help a child who feels upset feel secure.
Parents like their children to look good, but remember that sensory issues can cause a child discomfort, which can lead to b breakdown. 37 Soft cottons and cottons are comfortable. Avoid nylon and netting. Not all children with special needs have a problem with these, but if yours does, sacrifice fashion for peace of mind for you both.
Limit holiday parties and try to keep to regular bedtime. Have familiar foods available
13
for the child, amid all the other holiday choices. If entertaining at home, help the child go 38 Another alternative is to set out toys in a common area that are okay to share.
39 Crowds and noise can be bad for kids with autism. If you must shop, stick to smaller stores away from the large metropolitan malls.
Consider reducing the amount of presents. Kids don’t care as much as parents do about the number of gifts. For the child with autism, who may have a limited attention span, set him up for success. 40
The holidays can be a magical time. With a bit of planning, the holidays can be memorable and successful for your child.
A. These are toys no one else can use.
B. Concentrate on the fun of the gifts rather than the quantity.
C. Compromise with clothes that look good, but feel good, too.
D. The more toys you have, the happier they will feel.
E. The lack o routine, novel situations and unexpected guests can throw off their peace.
F. Pay special attention to what your child likes most
G. Try to avoid taking the child for shopping during this time of year.

参考范文
There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but the one that I admire most is Thomas Edison. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man
13
full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park.”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety—nine percent perspiration.” Probably I can’t be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
