19、be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Ch

20、oices include private school, charter school, public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their childs overall intelligence.

21、f California at Davis, a childs brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that l

22、earn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a childs mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They

23、 state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly well for a childs brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade.

28、La Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person

29、 on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. Th

When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away fro
