Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
1. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______. A．nine chairs B．ten chairs C．eleven chairs D．one chair
2. The chairs should be put _______.
A．with the desks B．before the winner
C．all over the room D．in a line
3. When the music starts, the players must _______.
A．run about the room B．get down
C．walk around the chairs D．sit on the chairs

We parents like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit, they may start eating vegetables. Don't say things like, "If you eat your vegetables, you can have desserts(餐后甜食)”. These methods work for a
while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties(多样性)will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don't work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and assemble(集合)a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping(浸)vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn't lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of the advice I've listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you're not just getting them to eat vegetables; you are helping them
to live a healthier lifestyle.
1. How many kinds of vegetables does a child need every day?
2.What is a simple way to let the children eat vegetables?
3. What’s the advantage of thinking of creative ways when it comes to make children eat vegetables?
4. Which will children usually prefer, vegetables or dresserts?
5.. What is this article mainly talking about?
1. Two or three
2. Eating them ourselves
3. It will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.
4. Desserts
5. How to make children eat.
