Where are you going today? What about the California Science Center? It is an amazing place because it can teach kids all about science and science is amazing.
The California Science Center is filled with different exhibits (展览品), which are presented in fun ways. It provides many handson experiences. Through these handson experiences, kids can learn about human inventions, the life processes of living things and so much more! The Science Center also has special exhibits that change all the time, so visit often to find out what's new!
The exhibitions there cover some amazing topics. Kids can learn about all the ecosystems (生态系统) that we have on our planet. They can also find out all about how everything on our planet exists (存在) in their own environment.
The Creative World lets kids explore the relationship between humans and communications, transportation and structures, and the World of Life lets kids examine how plants, animals, people and even the smallest living cells on our planet all have something in common.
From the earth to space, we couldn't let you explore the California Science Center and not tell you that a wonderful exploration is waiting. Kids can let their imagination fly as they explore a real spacecraft.
Don't forget about the IMAX either where you can watch an amazing IMAX film which brings everything to life.

When your friends suddenly stop talking to you, it can leave you confused on what to do next. 1. However, basically, your friends are either really upset with you, or it has nothing to do with you at all. But how can you tell? What’s more, what should you do?
Find out if they have shut all their friends out or just you. It’s important to figure out if your friends have moved on from everyone, or just you. If it’s just you, then you probably did something at some point. 2. They try to get their forgiveness.
Reflect on yourself. Have your friends been upset with you for a while? Would you get it if they were? Not all people yell or scream when they’re upset. 3. If you fail to hear exactly what they’re saying, or you keep doing the same thing over and over again, they may move on and completely shut you out.
Communicate in a different way. There’s always the possibility that your friends haven’t shut you out completely, but they are bored with a certain form of communication, like texting or chatting online. 4. If so, trying a different method to reach your friends could make things better.
5. If you can’t get responses from your friends, consider reconciling (和解) with them at some point in the future. Send them a note—Let them know you care about them and leave the door open for them.
A. Give them a helping hand.
B. So sometimes they take a break from it.
C. If you feel it was something bad, apologize for it.
D. Let your friends know you’re open to friendships.
E. There are many reasons why your friends might shut you out.
F. Your friends may not answer your calls or emails suddenly.
G. Some people will talk to you calmly about something you did.
