I didn't get up earlier as usual last Sunday. In the morning having finished my homework, I do some washing．Then I telephoned one of my classmates and invited them to see a film．But unfortunately, when we got to the cinema, we founded all the tickets had sold out．We had to go back to school or play football．After that, we were about to go to home when we saw our English teacher, Mr. Li, coming towards us．Tom and I asked him some questions about what to learn English well．He told us we had made great progresses in English．He also suggested that we read more and write more．We promised him that we would follow our advice．
Kids in the Kitchen
Some experts serve up some of the factors that make cooking with kids a pleasure rather than a struggle．
1. ．
For obvious reasons, a grown-up needs to be in charge of the stove, sharp knives and electrical equipment．Dr．Colker advises parents to be watchful, even when their kids are involved in relatively safe tasks．The bottom line is to stay close by, and teach your kids to respect basic safety rules．
Leave Time
2. When kids help, you’ll need extra time to teach them some skills．When you're in a hurry, give your kids tasks that don't require much guidance．As they get older and develop more skills, they will become wonderful helpers and even save your time!
Go for Variety
Our experts agree that children can enjoy more than the usual "kid food", such as chicken nuggets and pizza．3. Sandra K. Nissenberg suggests exploring the produce passage in the supermarket and talking about the unusual fruits and vegetables you find．
Involve Kids in Clean-up and Table-setting
Dr．Laura Colker reminds parents that preschoolers are eager to deal with grown-up tasks．They actually "enjoy the clean-up and table-setting activities", she says．4.
They may also enjoy setting the table and counting the spoons．
Make Cooking a Learning Adventure
Cooking helps kids develop a healthy interest in the lifelong challenge of eating nourishing （有营养的） , delicious meals．Kids learn about science when they heat or cool a mixture and observe how it changes． 5. And as they wait for the timer to ring, they develop a better understanding of the concept of time．
A．Most young children can easily handle simple kitchen equipment．
B．Cooking with young children requires patience．
C．Measuring ingredients teaches kids about fractions （分数）．
D．Kids can and should help wash and dry the pots and pans．
E．Keep an Eye on Safety
F．Stay Equipped
G．To introduce new foods, involve your kids in menu planning and shopping.
A federal agency on Tuesday called for a ban on all cellphone use by drivers -- the most far-reaching recommendation up to now — saying its decision was based on a decade of investigations into distraction-related (与分散注意力有关的) accidents, as well as growing concerns that powerful mobile devices are giving drivers even more reasons to look away from the road.
As part of its recommendation, the National Transportation Safety Board is urging states to ban drivers from using hands-free devices, including wireless headsets. No state now has made laws to ban such activity, but the Board said that drivers faced serious risks from talking on wireless headsets, just as they do by taking a hand off the wheel to hold a phone to their ears.
However, the concern was heightened by increasingly powerful phones that people can use to send e-mails, watch movies and play games.
“Every year, new devices are being on sale.” she said. “People are attracted to update their Facebook page, to play music with cellphone, as if sitting at a desk. But they are driving a car.”
The agency based its recommendation on evidence from its investigation of numerous crashes in which electronic distraction was a major contributing factor.
Ms. Hersman said she understood that this recommendation would be unwelcome in some circles, given the number of drivers who talk and text. But she compared distracted driving to drunken driving and even smoking, which required wholesale cultural shifts to change behavior.
“It’s going to be very unpopular with some people.” she said. “We’re not here to win a popularity contest. We’re here to do the right thing. This is a difficult recommendation, but it’s the right recommendation and it is time.”
The agency’s recommendation is not required for states to adopt such a ban. And it won’t likely be agreed upon by state lawmakers who are unwillingly to anger those who have grown accustomed to using their device behind the wheel.
The ban also deserves attention because it is the first call by a federal agency to end the practice completely, rather than the partial ban that some lawmakers have put in place by allowing hands-free talking.
1.The ban on all cellphone use by drivers was put forward ______.
A．after a long discussion and recommendation

2.We can know from the passage that ______.
A．electronic distraction resulted in numerous crashes
B．numerous crashes were caused by drunk driving
C．electronic distraction contributed much to the ban
D．the recommendation was based on electronic distraction
3.Ms Hersman thinks that distracted driving, drunken driving and smoking ______.
A．are just common behaviors B．can be shifted to behaviors
C．are behaviors to be changed D．are just cultural behaviors
