It’s also a must to pre-order at this time of the year—including the turkey, ham, tableware, gas, extra chairs, ice, etc.

PREPARATION

【3】 This doesn’t just include food. It also includes clearing the fridge and freezer space. Also think about how your guests will be served—by passing around platters on the table, or serving food that is pre-plated? If using platters, do you have enough platters to serve? Is your knife sharp enough to cave a turkey or ham? 【4】 Order your alcohol from a shop and have a one-on-one chat about how many bottles to serve your crowd of people. A refreshing cocktail is always a great way to serve a crowd—alcoholic or not!

28、   Kids nowadays are growing up “connected”, learning to use technology at a surprising speed. Technology is a regular part of school now! Kids as young as Kindergarten are using smartboards, IPads, and computers to complete tasks in the classroom. Older children rely on the Internet for research, getting homework, sending work to teachers, and even accessing（ 获得） textbooks. In fact, today’s kids have been given the name “digital（数字）natives” because they are facing technology almost from birth, so new things have never been a greater challenge in the hands of our children. The Internet，Facebook, iPods, pictures and texting on cell phones and all of these are the ways kids communicate today. They have become a central part of their lives. It allows them a private life that most of us know very little about.

Kids just don’t think about the results of the new world of social networking and text messaging. They don’t think that it is dangerous to send a photo of a particular person to a foolish person, who might send it to some friends that may send it to a hundred others and the next thing you know, it’s on many Facebook sites and all over the Internet forever. They don’t think that way because they don’t have the life experience that we do. We have to help them.

The key to knowing how they manage this privacy（隐私） is our “connection” to them. How closely do we connect with our kids and pay attention to what they’re doing? And how often do we talk to our children... and really listen to them? If they believe in us and know that we will be there for them, they are more likely to follow our advice. If we talk openly about what we believe in, what we stand for, those values will become their own before long.

【1】What is the author’s opinion about children?

A.They are good at accepting modern things. B.They are well understood by their parents.

C.They almost like to surf on the Facebook. D.They know the Internet dangers well.

C.They do not have life experience. D.They don’t depend on their parents.

【4】When will children accept their parents’ advice?

A.When they are surfing on the Internet. B.When they meet some dangerous situations.

C.When parents believe in what they are doing. D.When parents communicate with them deeply.

29、Tropical rainforests (热带雨林) are home to native peoples who rely on their surroundings for food, shelter, and medicines. Today very few forest people in many areas like the Philippines, Papua New Guinea live in traditional ways; most have been displaced by outside settlers or have been forced to give up their lifestyles by governments.

Of the remaining forest people, the Amazon supports the largest native or native populations, although these people, too, have been affected by the modern world. While they still depend on the forest for traditional hunting and gathering, most Amerindians, as American native people are called, grow crops, use western goods, and make regular trips to towns and cities to bring foods and products to market. In Africa there are native forest people sometimes known as pygmies. The tallest of these people, also called the Mbuti, are not more than 5 feet in height. Their small size enables them to move about the forest more quickly than taller people.
