Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”?“Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. They don"t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

核心考点
试题【Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”?“Survival Holidays” is for children to 】;主要考察你对社会现象类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
“Mind your own business.” we’re told.“Don’t talk about others behind their backs.”The problem with this advice is that,not only is it unrealistic,it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的).
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships.But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly,his gossip is letting you in on something,”says Dr.Ralph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.” Seen this way,gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批评)without conflict(冲突),giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand,what about ill-willed gossip,the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and,in nearly every country in the world,gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers.According to researchers,however,this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地).“If we read bad news about well-known people,or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee,our own problems begin to pale in comparison(对比),”says Dr.Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However,that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing,either.Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress.This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people,they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.
小题1:What is the purpose of the text?
A.To encourage us to spread gossip about others.
B.To prevent us from spreading gossip about others。
C.To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip.
D.To recognize certain positive functions of gossip.
小题2:According to the passage,people in general think that__________.
A.it’s a bad habit to gossip
B.nobody pays attention to gossip
C.not all the gossip you hear is worth believing
D.it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor
小题3:The underlined phrase “abiding by” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”.
A.makingB.breakingC.obeyingD.changing
小题4:It could be learned from the passage that__________.
A.people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others.
B.in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems.
C.in fact most people tend to believe gossip.
D.the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people.

It is easier to go down a hill than to climb up a hill, so it is to fall into bad habit than into good ones.
Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little while people do not notice their danger. Some schoolboys first pick up bad habits in school and on the streets. When they cannot finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they are older, the habits become so strong that they can never get rid of them. From copying, they fall behind, then learn to steal, and smoking is bad for their health. At last they become worse and worse.

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights, you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.
Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse and neglect(虐待和忽略).
No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.
