Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign(NSKC) founds that nearly half of the injury-related(与受伤相关的) deaths among children happened in summer.

    Experts are not surprised by the study's results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of the school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. “While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.

    To help children say safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:

    Always wear your seat belt.

    Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.

    Wear a life jacket when on a boat or doing water sports.

    Obey all traffic rules.

    Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough.

    If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three more reasons.

    Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students' study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don't. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate better.

    Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they're learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.

    Playing sports can also improve confidence. Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends.

    Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa. He has been looking after cows from a very early age. At twelve, he knows more about cows than most of us. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Has this boy ever had any education?

    Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us—our parents, brothers, sisters, friends—are our teachers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird's nest(巢), discovering a new street in our neighborhood and making friends with someone we didn't like before. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Encouragement from the people around us makes it possible for us to discover things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are able to do. We may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell us if we are good at it.

We learn so much just in our daily life. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Of course we can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can't do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their help, we begin to see things in different ways.

    CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

    Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programmed, there were 900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013.

    About six million children die of hunger every year.

    So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes," Every grain on the plate comes from hard work. "It tells us everybody must save food.

    Luckily a number of people have realized the importance of saving food.

    Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her Job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

    What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:

    Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can't eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

    Don't be too picky(挑别的) about food. Some food may not be tasty, but your body needs it.

    Don't keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.
