at home,which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loud If your children are young enough,dont forget to read books to them out loud!Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them,and its great for the development of their brains.However,if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books,there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook.This can also be done while theyre doing something else.Playing board games Maybe your childrens table is full of board games,which have been forgotten for a long time.Its a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice.Surely,playing board games is a great way to connect with children.In addition,many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance party Considering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone,you can have a dance party wherever you are!This is a great way to get kids bodies moving when they are inside.Play some of your childrens favorite music and let them dance to it.Not only is it good exercise,but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw(拼图)puzzles For most people that have children,its common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home.Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time.Besides,your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1.What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?A.They both develop childrens team spirit.B.They both improve childrens listening ability.C.They both do good to childrens thinking ability.D.They both focus on interaction between children.2.Which of the following combines exercise and music?A.Reading out loud.B.Playing board games.C.Doing jigsaw puzzles.D.Having a dance party.3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To list four interesting childrens parties.B.To recommend four childrens favorite books.C.To introduce some activities for children inside.D.To show some funny things for children outside.B Before moving to Stokholm,I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move.However,I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learnedwas so very wrong.There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.The first is fika.A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends.Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others.Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly.I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me.However,Swedish people are not rude.Instead,they practice being logom,which means“just enough”.The winters can be very dark and cold,so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted.Since the weather has been fine,I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm.Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking,which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air.Though it has been very tiring to get used to,it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how“similar”you may think they may be.You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others.As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn,you will have a great experience.4.What do we know about fika?A.It is a waste of time.B.It is a way to balance life and work.C.It is all about drinking coffee.D.It is a Swedish social tradition.5.What does the author think of Swedish people?A.They are friendly.B.They seem a bit cold.C.They appear really rude.D.They are interested in others life.6.Why does the author like walking?A.It is fun and not very tiring.B.It is good exercise on cold days.C It allows her to enjoy sunny days.D.It gives her the chance to eat the local food.7.Whats the authors advice for students going abroad?A.Be confident.B.Be careful.C.Be open-minded.D.Be hard-working.C Four interesting festivals Grand Old Days:Phone number:(651)699-0029 E-mailaddress:*Grand Old Days is one of the Midwests largest one-day festivals.Its
