I love camping. It’s my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and me went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went for a long walk every day. We cooked over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I appreciated lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At the night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp. I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

Help your child look forward to school
Your child says that he is sick whenever the alarm clock goes off. Your child hides under the covers and cries, “ I hate school” when it’s time to get ready in the morning. 1. If he behaves like that , there could be more than book reports and tests making him want to stay at home.
Talk to your child
You can ask questions like “ Did you have a good day today?” or “2.” If your child rides the bus, you can ask where he sits and why.
Talk to the teacher
Meet with your child’s teacher. Discuss the problems you are having at home and find out what is happening at school. Are there behaviour problems you do not realize? 3.
Be aware
Your child’s problem may also be caused by a learning disability. If you think there’s such a problem, talk to the school.4. Most schools have either an in-house psychologist (心理学家) or one who visits the school regularly. Set up a time to discuss the problem with his teachers.
5.
If your child’s homework is untidy, don’t criticize (批评) his handwriting. Instead, praise him for completing the work. If his clothes don’t match in the morning, tell him how proud you are that he got ready for school on time instead of criticizing him.
A．Look for the good.
B．Volunteer in the classroom.
C．Do other students make fun of your child?
D．How are you getting along with your classmates?
E. You might get angry when your child tell lies at school
F. Your child forgets to bring home his homework on purpose.
G. His teachers will pay more attention to while he’s in class.
In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help，he replies，"No，thanks.I've got a good horse under me."
The city planner decided to build an underground drainage （排水） system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12feet.
This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like Tremont Hotel，which was a six-story brick building？
That's where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews （螺旋千斤顶） beneath the building's foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10jackscrews.At Pullman's signal each man tured his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.
Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
