Home can be a great place for children to study. It’s important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.
●Location （位置）
72 Kitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study, since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas. Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night. For a child that likes being alone, set aside a corner of his bedroom, but keep it separate from things like games, music and other hobbies not related to studying.
●Keeping Things in Order
Parents should encourage their child to spread out, but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn’t using his workspace. Ownership is very important for self-respect. 73 The workplace should be personal, but not another part of the playroom.
● 74
Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school. Give them a good example of how to deal with problems, how to manage time and get things done in the right way. 75 Study will be more enjoyable and effective when supported by the whole family.

One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors. 73 “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “ 74 ”
In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, taekwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red.

Exercise 5:
For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 71 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament(锦标赛). 72 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination(单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 73 Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams. 74
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 75 About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.

Exercise 6:
Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 71 Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 72 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living a pack of wolves in the forest. 73 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 74 Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior——by taking part in a cultural community. 75
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.

Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research.

Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 74 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions: Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent f their year’s income in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October. 72 The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy’s famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas eve.
By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree. 73 In the northern countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass balls give people hope that spring will come.
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them.
