     Life insurance isn't fun to buy. It forces you to think about your death: a subject many prefer not to
confront. But there's a single, over-riding reason to buy life insurance: to provide an income for your
dependents should you die. Don't depend solely on an agent to figure your life insurance needs. Rule-of-
thumb estimates such as five or eight times your income are guesses; they may produce too little or too
much insurance. Carry too little insurance and you may not provide a reasonable standard of living for
your family after your death; carry too much and you may not enjoy a reasonable standard of living while
you're alive.
     Most people who have life insurance don't have enough. The median (中值) amount of coverage for
all adults with life insurance was only 15,000 pounds in 1984. That's obviously not enough to sustain a
family with young children for very long. Nationwide Insurance found that the married men in its 1984
survey carried an average of about 101,880 pounds in life insurance; they needed about 100,705 pounds
more. Married women carried about 43,516 worth insurance but needed some 98,507 pounds more.
     How do you determine the amount of life insurance you would need to maintain your family's current
life-style if the bread-winner died? First, figure, what your family's expenses would be if you died tomorrow.
Then, analyze your assets (财产) and the sources of income that you can use to cover the expenses.
Finally, subtract the assets from the needs. The result is the amount of additional insurance that you'll need
to buy.

Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV , radio and films all help us to know what is going on in the world and what people are thinking about.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows that you say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed there are a lot of signs around you and you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, seas and many other things.

If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books , which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all . In 2003, 35% did . And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile . Either way , Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report , he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds ,who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher . An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well ,but read less often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

A. Many children’s books have been adapted from films.
