Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some 1 ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me 2 ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have 3 to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,” one punter(赛马经纪人) told me, “and I thought I'd have a look. I didn't believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 4 , and there are clear favourites. 5 nobody has heard anything about these 6 ! Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case.” I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite 7 . In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the 8 just to give them some encouragement, I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast, 9 they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, 10 by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.

The birthrate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.
Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 1 cash encouragement, some women just don't want to be 2 holding the baby. “What we know is that it's good for the 3 if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 4 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 5 day off work.
Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 6 to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave(产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months' paid leave, with a warming: use it or 7 it.
Kindlund admits that men are under. 8 to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It's not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But it's good for the father and for the child if they can 9 a relationship.”
In Norway, a(n) 10 policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people 1 to their table manners. 2 what can you do if your kids are burping(打饱嗝) and slurping(出声地吃东西) their way through dinner?
Dr. Alex Packer, psychologist and the author of How Rude, The Teenagers Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out, recommends(推荐) these seven steps to 3 your child on the road to good manners:
Look for the good. 4 pointing out all the things your child does wrong, point out what she does 5 . Say, “I was so proud of you when we went to the Joneses for dinner. It was wonderful the way you served yourself when the platter(主菜盘) passed by.”
Don't turn dinner into a/an 6 “lecture time.” That will turn kids off not only to manners, but to dinner, and to you, too.
Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear(内衣) 7 you want your kids to do the same.
Don't label(贴标签) your child as a slob(粗俗平庸的人). 8 , point out the behavior in a neutral(中立的), practical way. For example: “It's a good idea to unfold your napkin so if food falls you won't dirty your clothes.”
Approach manners as a game. One night a week, try to have a somewhat more 9 dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve your kids' social graces(风度).
Make kids part of the tradition. Invite guests 10 and let kids help serve hors d'oeuvres(餐前开胃小吃). This helps them indirectly learn about the manners that surround eating.
Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants 11 make a difference. Try a nice restaurant and allow kids to order their own food, and help in paying the bill and figuring out the tip.
And Dr. Packer says not to lose heart if your kids' manners at home are 12 . “Often these same kids show very good behavior outside the house. If you're getting positive reports from outside the home, that's great. You can trust them.”
