Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789, in Ireland. She had a big dream. “I want to be a doctor!” But two hundred years ago a girl couldn’t become a doctor. Her uncle, James Barry, was a great painter. And his friend General Miranda had a library with more than 6,000 books. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him.

How much exercise do children need to keep in good health? Every parent wants to know the answer. In the US, many people think that children should get more than an hour of exercise each day. It is the same in the UK.
A new study shows that children should exercise for their muscles (肌肉) and bones (骨头) more than three times a week. Children can do activities like climbing and playing on monkey bars—this kind of exercise is good for their muscles. Jumping and running are good for their bones. Children should also do aerobic (有氧的) exercise for more than 60 minutes every day. They can walk fast or go running.
However, many children don’t like doing exercise or playing sports outside. Today, many children like playing computer games or watching TV at home every day. What can parents do to help the children do sports outside?
Doctor Stephanie Walsh says she often sees parents taking long walks with their children as a kind of exercise, but that might not be the best way. “Although walking is a great activity, it’s really boring for children. So if you’re going to ask your children to go for a walk, think of some fun things to do along the way,” she says. ________ It’s a good idea to take them outside and let them play with their friends.
