Finding something to do during the school holidays isn't always easy, but one mum has set up a new website to help families find activities and events in Norfolk.
Fiona Anthony of Bawburgh, near Norwich, was persuaded by her friends to set up the website, Info4Families, when they noticed she always knew what events were happening in the county（县）.
"I am always looking for things to keep my children occupied and Norfolk has such a lot going on," she said.
Detail（细节）from Info4Families
"But I found it quite difficult to get information about events and activities for children and families, as there was no central information point and it would often involve collecting leaflets（传单） and checking notice boards at different places.
"So I decided to set up a website which would allow people to find things to do, without leaving home," she added.
Fiona was also concerned that some events she had booked had to be cancelled（取消） because not enough people wanted to go.
"It is a real shame that some parents can’t find the events and some event organisers don’t get the numbers they need. I want to help bring the two together," said Fiona.
The website gives details on regular, one-off and free events, and includes activities which children can do on their own or with the family.
Parents can look for activities by category（种类）and by age so that they can find events suitable for their children’s interests and needs. The site also links to local places of interest, such as libraries, museums and cinemas.

On
26 May 1928, at a meeting in Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹), the FIFA
congress (国际足联) decided that a new competition open to all its
members should be played. A year later in Barcelona it was agreed that Uruguay(乌拉圭), the strongest football team at the period of time., should celebrate
100 years of independence（独立） by hosting the first World Cup the following
year.
Only 13 nations came to the opening of the games and nine from South America. All games were played in three stadiums in Montevideo(蒙得维的亚) and, as expected, the South American countries were stronger, although the European teams did not bring shame.
Some 100,000 fans came for the final on 30 July between Argentina(阿根廷)and Uruguay. The FIFA president and brains(主要领导人)behind the World Cup, presented the trophy(奖杯)to winning captain and football’s greatest tournament was born.

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so 36 at the time may cause us to smile years later.
One such memory is a phone call I 37 when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local 38 show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their 39 . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal（煤）.
I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.
