　　How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable materials online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U. S..

　　For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航海).“Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can't have chance to the Interact ,we're cutting them off 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 sues that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chance would be to use what is known as a“content screener(过滤器)”.But this can't be wholly reliable(可靠), 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 do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Inter- net.

　　Four other tips:

　　- Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things, That also makes the Interact more of a family activity.

　　- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and a- bout any friends they make on-line.

　　- Tell your child not to . give on - line strangers personal information especially like address and phone number.

　　-And tell your children never Co talk to anyone they meet on - line over the phone send them anything, accept any thing from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

Dancing That Tells a Story--Ballet

　　There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words. It can be told in pictures. It can be told in music. It can be acted out. Or it can be told by still another way--by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called ballet.

　　The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing or speaking.

　　The dancers in the picture are telling the story of Steeping Beauty. The music for this famous ballet was written by the Russian composer Tschaikowsky. The movements of its dancers were worked out by the French ballet master Petipa.

　　A ballet is a work (of art) just as a beautiful picture is. The person who plans a ballet is an artist. So is each dancer.

　　Sometimes ballet is called toe dancing. It is true that in some ballets the dancers do dance on their toes. But a great deal of the dancing in ballets is not toe dancing. Toe dancing is used to give the idea of lightness and airiness. It is never put into a ballet unless it fits the story.

　　Back in the days of ancient Greece and Rome there were dances that told stories of the gods. Even longer ago in Egypt there were dances that told stories of the planets.But the ballet of today had its beginnings about 600 years ago. It began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers of Italy. Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the French court. The French king Louis X IV founded a ballet school.

　　On a ballet program today there are often some French words. The names of many ballets are French. But there may be other French words, too. A part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called a pas de deux. Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet.

　　Today there are many ballet companies. All opera companies, too, have ballet dancers, for ballets are a part of many operas. No one country now leads in ballet.

　　Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered a great deal of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France. They founded a ballet school. Soon Russia was the leader in ballet.

　　Ballet is not easy to learn. A boy or a girl who wishes to be a ballet dancer has to begin going to a ballet school very early. Some begin when they are only three or four. All the parts in a ballet used to be danced by men. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer.
