The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an【22】served meal will improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child【23】he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow【24】else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child's hearing he is【25】to copy this procedure. Take it【26】granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted for the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as【27】as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child【28】meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under【29】circumstances must a child be coaxed(哄骗)【30】forced to eat.

Burn Calories While You Do Your Chores!
You may not realize just how many calories you burn doing everyday tasks. Daily chores do burn calories and, in some cases, help tone muscles. The only catch is that you have to change the way you think about how you do everyday things and choose the more active option whenever possible.
The following is a list of the amount of calories you will burn while performing daily tasks. (Note: All calorie counts are calculated for a 150-pound person doing 30 minutes of activity. If you weigh less than that, you will burn slightly fewer calories. If you weigh more, you will burn slightly more calories):
Grocery shopping while pushing a cart: 126
Washing dishes: 75
Reading the newest potboiler: 39
Doing laundry: 210
Surfing the Internet: 60
Gardening: 150
Raking leaves in your yard: 144
Walking the dog at a quick pace around the neighborhood: 14.7
Climbing the stairs at work (instead of taking the elevator): 306
Which daily chores can help to burn calories the least?
A. Raking leaves in your yard.
B. Washing dishes.
C. Surfing the Internet.
D. Fixing dinner.
Communication Skills
Make no mistake, learning any language to proficiency takes thousands of hours, but learning enough to be able to communicate reasonably well is not so difficult. If you can read this in English but have trouble communicating face to face, then you're at the right place. We provide plenty of hints about how to improve your communication skills in the English language. You'll also find some detailed suggestions on how to read and understand more. Because face-to-face communication is quite different from reading and writing, there are two main ways to learn a language. What you should read first depend on your goals.
1. For Reading
If the main reason you want to learn is for reading information on the Internet or in books, magazines, letters or newspapers, then you can focus on studying the written language.
2. For Communication
If you're hoping to travel, use English for work or to communicate with your friends, then you can concentrate your efforts on the spoken language.
3. For Help with Writing
If you need to write in English then you'll need to combine the studies of both spoken and written language. Skill at communicating is almost a prerequisite for someone who wants to write because it helps a lot with syntax and grammar, giving the student a feel for the language. Gaining skill at reading is also necessary, because good writing is different from normal speech.
What should one do when one intends to learn how to communicate with others?
A. One can assess how appropriate the courses you're considering buying.
B. One can focus on studying the oral and written language.
C. One can concentrate one's efforts on the spoken language.
D. One can read information on the Internet or in books, magazines, or newspapers.
