Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km. But sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of his difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke comes from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.

　　This great speed of light gives us some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light left the moon 1.3 seconds before it reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some case, the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born.

　　Thus, if you want to be honest, you can say "The stars are shining to night?" You have to say“The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has just reached Earth. "

Sunlight seems to ____ than the light of the moon.（　　）

There's a time to get angry, and it's best for your child if you do. Let your child hits a playmate with a toy－hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad．

　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child, “Peter was crying because you hit him. "is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to he scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism（批评）to heart.

　　When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well－but only when taken together with an explanation. Make certain your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt Peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people,” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.

What should Parents do when their children did something wrong?（　　）

There's a time to get angry, and it's best for your child if you do. Let your child hits a playmate with a toy－hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad．

　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child, “Peter was crying because you hit him. "is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to he scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism（批评）to heart.

　　When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well－but only when taken together with an explanation. Make certain your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt Peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people,” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.

Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings （误解）? Little wonder. We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1) Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh” to be polite or move the conversation along. But it's easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2) Train the editor（编辑）in your head. If you say, "Beth discusses her problems with her husband, "it's not clear whether she's talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, "Beth talks to her husband about her problems." Or "Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband." (3) Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying "I want to be sure I said that right." Questions like “How does that sound?" or "Does that make sense?" may also work.(4) Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you're on the same page. After all, it isn't just the speaker's job to make his speech understood．
