21、An Activity for Reading
By CCTV
Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are successful!
We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program “Readers” to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.
Activity: Read to me
It’s important to read to your children, and it’s also important to listen to them when they read to you.
What you’ll need: Books at your child’s reading level
What to do:
▲Read good books to your children. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interest and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.
▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full page.
▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. This is another way to enjoy reading together.
▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways:
●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.
●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.
●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

22、Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
【1】What can cause problems on health?
A.Hot and wet weather.
B.Wind.
C.Warm weather.
D.Clear water.
【2】A report shows that people may have higher intelligence when ________ comes.
A.rain
B.a strong wind
C.very hot weather
D.low air pressure
【3】What does the writer want to tell us in the third paragraph?
A.Hot or cold weather influences all people in the same way.
B.Weather influences people’s feelings.
C.The IQ changes when weather changes.
D.People feel good on low-pressure days.
【4】Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Hot Weather Causes Health Problems
B.Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad
C.Weather Influences Feelings
D.Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feelings

India is a country rich in culture and tradition. And although India is changing, one thing remains the s【1】: the cow is sacred(神圣的). And men and women cover their heads and faces with cow urine(牛粪).
According to their tradition, the cow is not just a farm animal. These cows are like motherhood, and their milk feeds them. But it’s not the milk these men and women are waiting for—it’s the urine. As a precious g【2】 from the cow, the urine is often placed in the house to protect their homeland. People think the urine can beautify their house and keep away b【3】 luck. Men even put cow urine into their hair.
And this special form of worshipping(崇拜) has been around for centuries.
Surprisingly, cow urine is even used by people as a kind of m【4】. Locals believe it can make sick people feel better. Believe it.
Some believers show their worshipping by making an offering of hair.
About 12,000 heads are shaved(剃头) every day. That means the city is always f【5】 of hairless believers. Often waiting for 10 hours or more, believers f【6】 enter the shaving area. On average the temple’s 1,600 barbers shave over 15 heads an hour. The temple then sells piles of hair to local wigmakers(假发店). The money is used to help the area’s poor and make sure the a【7】 hair temple of India keeps going. Believe it.
