(C)After a terrible experience, most survivors（生存者） can be expected to recover（恢复） over time,
especially with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly,
while children will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their
school.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to stay calm, answer
children’s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.
Children react differently depending on their ages and experiences. Some will keep silent, while others will
have bad dreams. Parents should watch each child’s reactions, spend time talking, letting them know that it’s OK
to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can
use family mealtime or bedtime for them. They should answer questions honestly and ask their children for their
opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should be patient when you answer the
questions again. For young children, parents might read a favorite story or have a family activity to help them
calm down after talking. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend more time with them. They
could play games outside or together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.

Kids need to spend time using electronic devices.Do you love to surf the Internet, listen to music, WeChat, and talk on a cell- phone? If yes, you won’t be
alone. A recent study has some surprising news: Kids in the United States between the ages of 8 and 19 spend
seven and a half hours a day on electronic devices. These include computers, smartphones, and video games.
Some adults try to advance the idea that these devices waste kids’ time. However, some research surveys say this
idea is wrong. In fact, the data show that technology can be helpful to kids.
Critics say that kids stare at computers and TVs all day and do not get enough exercise.
One study by the National Institutes of Health says that action video games may help increase kids’ visual
attention. In addition, using interactive media can give kids good structure for learning. It can also help them learn
to switch tasks effectively. Kids also need to use the Web to get information. Many argue that learning to use the
Web responsibly sharpens kids’ reasoning abilities.
Today’s world is wired, and not just for fun. The jobs of the future depend on kids who are in!
