    Time for Kids (TFK) gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.

    What’s four days long, bigger than seven football fields, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!

    Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year. This year’s trends (款式) include oversize toys. “In 2014, everything is really big and really out there,” says Adrienne Appell, a toy-trends expert.

    Toy Fair is the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). Toy-store buyers go to the event to decide which toys they may want to sell during the holiday season. Members of the media, like TFK, go to the fair to report back on all the cool trends. Unfortunately, Toy Fair is not open to the public.

    This year’s Toy Fair was the biggest in its 111-year history. More than 1,000 toy companies showed products from simple card games to high-tech robots. “Larger Than Life” was a Toy Fair favorite. This trend is all about big toys with a big play value.

    Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towards education, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell. “This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”

    When we heard that our friend astronaut Gregory Chamitorff was going to be on board the last flight of the space shuttle Endeavour, we asked him if he would answer some questions from space. He said yes!

    Here are our questions and Greg’s answers from space.

    What’s the best thing about being in space?

    Zero-gravity（失重） is by far the best thing about being in space. It does not really mean that there is no gravity. It means that we are moving around Earth in the same way the space station is moving around Earth. So we are floating inside the space station.

    We travel around Earth once every 90 minutes. That’s 16 sunrises and sunsets every day. Really fast!

    Inside the station, we can fly around like superman. It’s an amazing feeling, and I hope everyone gets a chance to fly in space someday to experience the wonder of zero-gravity.

    What do you do for fun in the space shuttle?

    There are so many things you can do in zero-gravity that are fun. Flying around is fun. Eating food that floats is fun.

    I like to play like Superman and see how far I can fly without touching any walls. Another fun thing is to play with water. Most of all, the most exciting thing to do is to look out the window at our beautiful planet Earth below. You never get tired of seeing it like that, the way it really is and it can never be seen that way while standing on its surface.

    What’s the coolest thing about being on a spacewalk?

    Wow! Doing a spacewalk is cool. There is nothing more wonderful than floating in space in your own space suit. It’s amazing, and when you are doing a spacewalk, you are “out there” just floating in empty space, like the earth, like the moon, like the sun, like the space station. It’s not science fiction. It’s real.

    1. Why does Greg think doing a spacewalk is the coolest thing?

    A. He can wear his own space suit then.

    B. He can see the moon when doing that.

    C. He can see the earth by doing so.

    D. He thinks it’s great flying in empty space.

    2.Which of the following best shows how Greg feels?

    A. Frightened B. Excited C. Sad D. Surprised

    3.What can we know from the text?

    A. Greg thinks doing a spacewalk is science fiction.

    B. Greg floats inside the space station without gravity.

    C. Everyone has the chance to experience the wonder of zero-gravity.

    D. In the space shuttle, Greg can see the shape of the whole earth clearly.

    “A Long Walk Home”-----life as Eli Reed saw it

    American photographer and photojournalist Eli Reed has been documenting “life as I saw it” for more than 40 years. His career retrospective(回顾), “Eli Reed: A Long Walk Home”, is an extraordinary search of beauty while recording hardship. With a heart of love, Reed uses a style that uncovers humanity at every turn. According to Reed, “A Long Walk Home” is about what it means to be a human being. It all began with a photo he took of his mother and his memory of her smile.

    Raised in New Jersey, reed was originally a painter. Primarily self-taught in photography, he became a freelance photographer in 1970. after producing some impressive photos that drew much attention, he joined the famous company Magnum Photos---the first black photographer invited to do so.

    His photos are remarkable in their lack of judgment of the people or the situations he comes across. In Beirut, Lebanon, a man removes a tree branch from a car in a recently bombed parking lot. An old man wrapped in a sheet plays a drum in front of a sign reading “God Is the Way” while National Guardsmen lift their guns during a war in Miami. A young boy upside down with his legs in the air in a Kenyan refugee camp, his determined look faces the camera. In Harlem, New York, a group of laughing children take over an abandoned car, using it as a jungle gym.

    Where another photographer might have focused on the sobriety of these situations. Reed’s camera smiles. His images show how humans cope, rise above, and carry on. This is what gives “ A Long Walk Home” its power. Considering the places Reed has been to, there are very few photos of guns or obvious violence. Instead, Reed focuses on the varied human responses to hardship.

    We smile along with Reed in a gesture of compassion and solidarity. We recognize our fellow human beings.

    1.Why did Eli Reed produce his work “A Long Walk Home”?

    A. To search for the meaning of life
