一、阅读选择

Cowboys, Policemen, Princesses and Superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given day. Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out their favorite characters as well as use their artistic (艺术的) ability to create the stage.

Best of all, they will be able to use their favorite line (台词) “look at me” as the audience sits down to enjoy the production.

Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out. Use the Internet or library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids. For younger kids, you can act out a favorite story or fairy tale. Of course, you could always help them write their own script.

Decide how many characters are needed. Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character. Make sure you teach them to change the way they look, move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.

Search for costume and prop (工具) supplies. Find clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼), or go to a garage sale. Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup to represent their character.

Get creative. Make tickets, invitations, movie posters and props for your kids’ play. You can even decorate a curtain and hang in front of the stage. Set up chairs for the audience.

Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.

An NPC deputy (人大代表) during this year’s two sessions suggested dividing the winter and summer vacations into four shorter vacations. Though it seems helpful, the proposal is out of the realities.

Firstly, the deputy believed that shorter vacations could alleviate (缓解) parents’ burden of caring for their children at home and offer families more opportunities to travel together. However, the general consensus (共识) is that most parents are often so busy trying to make enough money to provide for their children’s education and household costs that they don’t even have enough time to keep their kids company, let alone to be able to take their kids on vacation.

Secondly, each of the breaks will only last for about three weeks. Even though this is generally a long enough time for students to go to tutoring centers (培训机构) if their parents pay extra attention to their children’s studies, they may end up finding themselves continuously having to shift between a busy school term and a more relaxed period of time off. While this may help to prevent children from playing with their mobile phones or video games, is it really necessary to create new term system (体系) to do so? As the saying goes, “Penny wise and pound foolish.”

Moreover, as some netizens have mentioned, the main purpose of winter and summer vacations is to give students more time to celebrate the Spring Festival and to escape the summer heat. Not only do longer vacations spare many students the efforts of travelling from home to school, but they also offer chances for them to do things with long-lasting positive effects, such as volunteering in the community or joining in overseas exchanges.

In a word, there is still a long way to go to improve the vacation system before a better option turns up. So what we students need to do for now is just make the best of our vacation time and prepare ourselves for the future terms.

4．Why did the deputy make the new proposal?

A．To pay more attention to children’s learning.

B．To encourage children to relax themselves.

C．To increase parents-children caring and love.

D．To greatly reduce children’s learning burden.
