　　　 “Mummy ,I don’t know what to play with “Steve interrupts his mother ,who is talking to a friend ,for the fourth time .”You’ve got a room full of toys !”his mother says ,impatiently .In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four –year –old Steve’s lack of interest in his dolls ,cars and stuffed (packed )animals .Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor ,listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother’s desk or following her into the kitchen saying : “Mummy, I am bored .”

　　　 A family therapist (心理医生)explains why children lose interest when they have a whole “toy shop” at home : “According to their brain development ,little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once .There is always just one favorite toy for the moment .All the rest is left lying about . “What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys ? Under no conditions should we simply make something disappear without the child’s knowledge .If he /she takes no more notice of a toy ,a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away .Be warned though the child will always say he /she wants it then ! A talk with relatives and friends may also help .Lyn is the mother of four –year –old Jessie ,and we like her way .A small set of shelves in her child’s room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present ) favorites .When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys ,they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room .The box of “old” toys goes into the cupboard .When her child says she is “bored”, they also get something from her cupboard –it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn’t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy .

　　　 Some favorite toys stay out all the time ,and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner ,but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh” to play with .

　　　 When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat ;then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying(腐烂) and adding humus(腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowl- edge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.

　　　 In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.

　　　 It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation(轮作) of crops.
