When buying games for kids, parents should avoid buying games that have too much violence in them. The most important thing parents must observe is the amount of time their children spend in front of video game consoles. They shouldn't allow their kids to spend more than two hours per day in gaming.Last but not the least, talk to kids about how video games should be enjoyed and how much use is good use.

While quite a few animals are known to migrate, the phenomenon is more often associated with birds.When it comes to migration, numerous factors come into play, one of which is seasonal food scarcity(缺乏). In the northern hemisphere, birds spend summers in higher latitudes(纬度) where food is available in plenty. As the food resources start decreasing with the arrival of winter, theyfly to the south. In addition, when the conditions become unfavourable during the winter season, these birds seek shelter in new areas where the conditions are good enough to raise their young ones.How do birds know it's the time to begin their journey? Well, as the days start getting shorter,a bird's brain starts releasing hormones(荷尔蒙), which make the bird start overeating, and become restless. As the time of migration approaches, migratory restlessness becomes evident in birds. In case of short-distance migration, the timing is mainly based on the changes in weather and availability of food.How do long-distance migratory birds manage to find their way to their destination? Basically, some of these species use the sun as the guiding points in the course of their journey. In addition, the wind pattern is also known to guide the birds as they begin the most important journey of their life.Unfortunately, migratory birds would meet with many threats during their journey. For example, many birds die because they feel too hungry and tired during the long journey. Even natural disasters result in the decrease in the number of the migrating population. Worse still, many migratory birds are hunted by people all along their flyway.Title：Migration of birdsDefinition Moving at a particular 1.________ from oneplace to another2.________·To find enough 3.________ to survive thewinter·To find a place with favorable weather to raiseyoung onesWays of determining the right time to migrate ·The changes in the days' 4.________ make the birds' brain release hormones, causing migratoryrestlessness.·When the weather gets unfavourable or food becomes 5.________ in plenty, they know it'stime to migrate.Things guiding their way·The 6.________ ·The wind patternPossible 7.________ during the journey ·8.________ and tiredness ·9.________ ·10.________ activitiesWhen it comes to aging, some people happily face it while others fear it.
