Children in one country may play games that are quite different from those played anywhere else in the world. Here are some interesting games that you and your friends can try.The Mouse Game (The Philippines)In this game, a piece of string is attached to the player's hand.

It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills arc as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 mands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and pul it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法).A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words wc say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!4.

What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.C. To be careful with your dog.B. To talk to your dog.D. To be friendly to your dog.I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11 -year-old man could, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind, don't you?“Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.I immediately knew I had confided(吐露)in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. "Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later.

Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on the podium (领奖台)ihal I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible petitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's drcam. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all (he media attention on my success, I could.

Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the overall obesity rate for children aged 2 to 19 is 17%, or about 12.5 million kids."There's always room fbr improvement,“ said health expert Tala Fakhouri, who was the lead author of the study.
