Selecting a proper summer camp for your child is not an easy task. You have to consider too many factors（因素）. Remember, you are sending your kid to a summer camp not just to let him enjoy himself but also to help him become confident. So you should try to select a summer camp for your kid so that after he returns from the camp, the first thing that he asks you is when you will send him again for camping. Let us see how you can pick the best summer camp for your child.
Search the Internet
If you browse（浏览） the Internet, you will find a number of websites of summer camps where you can find all the detailed information about the camps. For example, how much the whole camping will cost, where the camps are, what children can do in the camps and what additional facilities (额外的设施) they can provide. Don't forget to read the comments（评论） of parents who have sent their children to those camps and pay attention to how they find those camps.
______________
Some camp organizers prefer advertisements in newspapers. Some of the organizers even invite famous people to their camps to communicate with kids. You should keep an eye in the summer camp advertisements in newspapers so that you could pick a suitable one for your kid.
Ask for advice from your child's school teachers
Go to your kid's school and ask his teachers whether they can give you names of some of the summer camps they consider to be the best.
Know the interest of your child
While searching, you will come across different types of camps. They are organized according to the nature and interest of children like a music camp, a sports camp, etc. So it is very important to know what your child is interested in before picking a summer camp.

Are You Smart?

    All parents say their children are smart. Why do some of these intelligent children do better in school, while others fall behind?

In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner introduced “theory of multiple intelligences” （多元智能理论） to help explain this. His theory says there are eight different kinds of intelligence. All of these intelligences are good to the society.  But only two of them help students do well in school.

1.______________

    These people are good at languages.  They have a large vocabulary in their native language.  They may also pick up foreign languages more easily than others. They enjoy telling jokes and writing stories.  They make good lawyers, writers and librarians.

2. ______________

People who are smart in this way do better in math and science.  They can also use logic （逻辑） to solve problems such as scientific studies. They like to learn how something works. These first two intelligences help students succeed in school.

3. ______________

These people are good at picturing things in mind. As children, these people liked to draw or play with blocks.  As students, they learn better if they’re taught through images, not words.  When they grow up, they make good artists and engineers.

4. ______________

Children who can’t sit still may fall into this kind of “ smart”. The children enjoy physical activities like sports. They learn fast when they’re shown how something is done rather than just told. These people make good sportsmen and actors.

5. ______________

These people enjoy making music.  People with this intelligence have a good sense of sound. They understand the relationship between music and feeling. People with jobs related to music may have this intelligence.

6. ______________

Children of this kind love to spend time outside in nature.  These children are good at recognizing different things of nature, such as plants or birds.  When they grow up, they make good farmers and gardeners.

7. ______________

Those who are smart in this way make friends easily and keep the friendship well. They are able to understand the feelings of others.  They work well in groups and become natural leaders. As grown-ups, they make good salespeople and managers.

8. ______________

These people know clearly about their own feelings and ideas.  They are self-confident and have strong opinions on different kinds of things. They often like to work by themselves.

Gardner’s theory has changed the way people think about intelligence. People can be smart in the ways beyond just "book smart. " Perhaps all those parents are right--everyone is smart, just in different ways. What kind of "smart" are you?

A. I can tell the kinds of flowers easily.

B. I can remember the beat of a song after I hear it.

C. I like to read a lot.

D. I prefer to do things by myself.

E. I’d rather play in a sport than watch it.

F. I am good at organizing things in mind.

G. I remember things best by seeing them.

H. I’d rather do something in a group than alone.

A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地狱). He saw an extremely grand palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace.

The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.”

The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man settled down (安定) in the palace.

At the beginning, the man felt very happy at the cycle of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and void. So he went to the palace owner and said, “It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day. Now I show no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?”

The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.”

After another several months, the man could not go on with the life and went to the palace owner again, “I really can not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer to go to hell instead of living here.”

The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously (蔑视地), “Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!”
