Kindle Voyage is our most advanced e-reader ever.
Brilliant display
New—The high-resolution（高分辨率的）display features sharp, dark text that reads even more like the printed pages.
Light that adjusts with you
New—Kindle Voyage can be read in bright sunlight or total darkness, and it's smart enough to know the difference. With a new adaptive front light, Kindle Voyage senses the light in your environment, and changes the setting to the ideal brightness. In order to more closely resemble reading on real paper, we researched and hand-tuned the optimal brightness setting for every lighting condition. When reading in the dark, the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over to match the way the eye responds to darkness.
Effortless page turns
New—PagePress allows you to turn the page without lifting a finger. Simply apply pressure on the bezel surrounding the screen to turn the page, and PagePress will provide a silent haptic（触觉的）response for consistent and immediate reaction.
Remarkably thin design
Improved—At just 7. 6mm thin, Voyage is our thinnest Kindle ever. Kindle Voyage was designed to come one step closer to a sheet of paper. Comfortably hold Kindle Voyage in one hand for long reading sessions. With a magnesium(镁金)back and a glass front, Kindle Voyage is both durable and smooth.
Long battery life
Like Kindle Paperwhite, the battery lasts weeks on a single charge.
Kindle Unlimited

One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to have them fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes, Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that would be held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win the new shoes.
The day of the race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided （碰撞）with him from behind. Ali crashed to the ground. 注意：

You've decided your child is spoiled（宠坏的），and you want to do something about it. Is it too late? Not necessarily。. Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
1. You've spoiled your child by giving him or her too much for too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and understand that not all good behavior is rewarded.2. For example, at first, insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack, and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don't overreact to crying. When children don't get what they want, their natural behavior is to cry. If you react every time your child cries, you may be denying（拒绝给予） him or her an important chance to learn something. 3.
Prepare for a fight. At the beginning, children's demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens, be careful not to give in just because the child shouts. 4.
Stick to the program. 5. That' s not necessarily a bad thing. It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is accepting changes. Remember： Give it time, and don't give up.
A. Make changes slowly.
B. Cut down on rewards.
C. Try your best to comfort the child.
D. Rather, wait until the child calms down.
E. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes.
F. There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G. As a parent, you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
