(Natural News) Many parents have tried to give their children a head start on education with get – smart videos and enrichment activities as early as infancy (婴儿期), but free play is often sacrificed, so the American Academy of Pediatrics says that the best medicine for busy children is an increase in traditional ―playtime‖.
A number of studies suggest that unstructured (无条理的) play can help children become creative, discover their own interests, develop problem – solving abilities, and relate to others socially, according to a report prepared by two academy committees for release Monday at the group‘s annual meeting. On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.
The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.
―In the current environment, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,‖ said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report‘s lead author and

―China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,‖ Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.
After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.
The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.
But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.
Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.
Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.
Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the

As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water in our atmosphere is over 10 times as much as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amount to only about one-third of 1％of the world‘s total water supply.
