Hobbies are ways of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self-respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems. If all these sound good, you may would like to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions. |
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies tend (倾向于) to have parents with hobbies. |
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement (地下室), part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later. |
Provide some guidance. Nothing will kill a child's love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions. |
Limit television watching. It's impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time. For want of spare time, a hobby may never be developed. But find a hobby, a talent may be born, and life may be enriched (充实) by it, too. |
At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, people cheered when China's Tong Xin finished her taijijian moves. On Sept 24, she won the women's raijiquan and taijijian all-round gold. The Asian Games have more events than the Olympic Games. These events, like raijijian, are from different countries and cultures across Asia. This makes the Asian Games interesting. Here are some of the special sports.
Special Asian Sports |

Tong's slow but strong actions with her sword(剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu's beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. Wushu was first included in the Asian Games in 1990. |
Kabaddi(卡巴迪) Kabaddiis a folk sport from India. It has a history of more than 4,000 years. The sport looks like the game "eagle catching chickens". You only need a place to play it, nothing else. The place should be 13 meters long and 10 meters wide. |
Sepak takraw(藤球) Sepak takraw first became popular in Southeast Asia. It is like the traditional Chinese game of shuttlecock kicking(踢毽子). Players need to use their feet, head, knees and chest(胸) to move the ball. It is also called "kick volleyball". |
Two Research Reports
Report One | Report Two |
According to research in the magazine Psychology(心理) Health , people with sweet childhood will have less stress and fewer diseases. "We found that good memories seem to have a good effect on health, " said the researchers of the study. The researchers used more than 22, 000 people in two studies. The first period followed adults(成年人) in their mid-40s for 18 years. The second period followed adults aged 50 and over for 6 years. In both groups, people who got more love and support from their parents had less sadness. | Keeping away from depression(低落的情绪) has become the main goal for many people nowadays, but hugging it may be more helpful, a new study reports. Many people hide their true feelings. But the report says this can even make people worse. Researchers call on(呼吁) people to have a more friendly and patient attitude(态度) about depression. Only in this way will people not be afraid of it and they will be more likely(更有可能) to work out the problem, and then take action to deal with them. |

Cockroaches (蟑螂) live in dark, warm and wet places. They can run up to about 1.5 meters in one second. So it's difficult for people to catch a cockroach. And cockroaches can stay underwater for 15 minutes. However, cockroaches are harmful for people. | |
