28、to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read

29、the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from

30、his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.

Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of todays children, and th

37、ey are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的).“We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added.Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the

38、 result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.Parents now feel a sense of fai

46、lectronic devices are always good for children.DParents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone.About ten men in every hundred suffer from acritochromacy in some way.
