    Finding time to read is an important part of developing reading and writing skills for all kids. And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day — even when it's tough to find time to sit down with a book.

    Car trips, waits in checkout lines and the doctor's office are all opportunities for reading. Keep books or magazines in your car, or backpack to pull out whenever you're going to be in one place for a while. Even if you can't finish a book, read a few pages or discuss some of the pictures.

    Encourage kids to bring favorite books and magazines along wherever you go. While it's attractive to provide electronic games and readers, be sure to alternate electronic media with plenty of opportunities to read traditional print books.

    Reading opportunities are everywhere you go. While riding in the car, for example, encourage kids to spot words and letters (on billboards, store signs, etc.), turning it into a game (“Who’ll be the first to find a letter B?”).

    Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments. Kids can assist you as you cook by telling you how much flour to measure. Give your child a catalogue to read while you sort through the mail. Ask relatives to send your child letters, e-mail, or text messages, and read them together. Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives. These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.

    Even when you’re trying to get things done, you can encourage reading. While cleaning, for instance, you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work.

    Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books, even if it means cutting back on other activities, like watching TV or playing video games.

    Most important, be a reader yourself. Kids who see their parents reading are likely to imitate them and become readers, too!

    1.What do we know about kids in Paragraph 3?

    A. They are suggested taking reading materials only.

    B. They can’t resist the desire of playing games.

    C. Reading and playing games can be done by turns.

    D. They are forbidden to play electronic games.

    2.How does the author advise kids to keep in touch with relatives?

    A. Make written communication.

    B. Make a dialogue with each other.

    C. Learn skills from them.

    D. Read a catalogue together.

    3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    A. The longest journey begins with the first step.

    B. God helps those who help themselves.

    C. Detail is the key to success.

    D. A fine example has boundless power.

    4.What may be the best title for the text?

    A. Reading approaches

    B. Finding reading moments

    C. Encouraging kids to read

    D. What reading means to kids

    Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth

    Introduction

    Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K. I. and our partner organizations have learned.

    Background

    Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors: the lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, and urban crime.

    Street Business Partnerships

    S.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.

    ● The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.

    ● The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.

    Lessons Learned

    The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created.

    ● It’s important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.

    ● Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.

    ● All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest.

    Conclusion

    There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.

    1.The organization, S.K.I., aims to ________.

    A. give business training and loans to street children

    B. provide schools and social support for street children

    C. share the lessons S.K. I. learned to help street children

    D. draw the attention of the government to street children

    2.This passage implies that with the help of S. K. I. street children may ________.

    A. reject paid employmentB. set up their own business

    C. leave their familiesD. employ other children

    3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. The link of all loans to training programs is important.

    B. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I. programs.

    C. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles.

    D. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization.

    There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of these things. Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?

    There are all kinds of alcohol molecules (分子), but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇). Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes(膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated — unmetabolized(未经新陈代谢的) and whole — through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.

    Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit (呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.

    Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.

    1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

    A. By statement.B. By question.

    C. By arguing.D. By explaining.

    2.Why can alcohol reach the brain?

    A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.

    B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.

    C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport.

    D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.

    3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

    A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.

    B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath .

    C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.

    D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.

    4.From the passage, we can know ________.

    A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed

    B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities

    C. alcohol damages the liver indirectly

    D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
