My challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15minutes every single day for a month.
Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn't one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can't read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He's busy, so I think sitting down to read for just 15minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading.
My dad is not the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen﹣based activities don't have.
Firstly, it's better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night's sleep.
One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world﹣I often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better.
I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's point of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling﹣you really can be inside someone else's head!
So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!

Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example: They lock the doors to their children's bedrooms at night because the children might get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."
If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty
word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth. I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
--- Gram
Dear Gram,
Children's bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩梦).Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make them grow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word.
1.Gram's daughter _____________.
A. is very strict with her children B. does not love her three children
C. always punishes her children at night D. often gives her children hot sauce
2. Gram writes the letter in order to ____________.
A. disclose her daughter's ways as a mother
B. criticize her daughter's ways as a mother
C. express her anger about her daughter s ways as a mom
D. get others' opinion about her daughter's ways as a mom
3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Gram seems to care for her grand children very much.
B. Gram is against some of her daughter's ways as a mom.
C. Abby is for only one of Gram's daughter's ways as a mom.
D. Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter's ways as a mom.

Are you having trouble concentrating when you’re reading a book or listening to a lecture? This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.
Make a List. We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 1. You don’t worry about whatever else you should be doing.
Sleep More. Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 2.
Eat Healthier Foods. Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 3. They might give you a temporary burst of energy. However, that energy is soon followed by a crash.
Reduce Screen Time. This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people. Screen time - or time spent looking at cell phones, televisions, computer screen, has a clear effect on the attention span. 4. Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports. It could be that being active is helpful in this way. Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks, and shut out other thoughts.
A. Be active.
B. Practice more.
C. These foods can provide enough energy for focusing.
D. But these foods can’t be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.
E. That is bad news for teens who stay up studying the night before a test.
F. Researchers advise parents to limit it when their children need to be focused.
G. By writing down all the things you need to do, you’ll gain a sense of control.
