Travelling is one thing; travelling with children is another. One problem with travel guide-books is they don´ t speak to children, who can get bored.
Enter HolidayKids, a new travel guide series (系列 ) that not only focuses on child-friendly places, but also is written for children. The series from Holiday Books cover Hong Kong, Beijing,Bali, Sydney, London and New York.
Written by Gerald McCune, a Hong Kong based Children´ s walter, the series taps into the knowledge of parents ( and their children) about what inca particular place plays well with children,either from repeated visits or from living there.
The idea is to speak to children directly so they will take part more actively in planning and in later tours. One café review for example reads: "Your parents can have a cup of coffee, while you enjoy a fruit cake and something really sweet, like a chocolate ice cream. "
But the books don´ t sugarcoat everything. A passage about Bali´ s Uluwatu temple ( 寺庙 )warns of "hawkers ( people who try and sell you things) pushing" and of monkeys stealing things.
There isn´ t too much of that, and the series doesn´ t include anything that isn´ t child-friendly.
Their colorful pages are full of attractive pictures and photos by Sally Denney. They are well organized into playfully named sections like" Food, Delicious Food" (restaurants) and "Talking with the Animals" (zoos). Many of the restaurants reviewed show their tasty food with lively pic-tures. For example, the Natural Restaurant in Phuket serves delicious Thai dishes and is built around "trees that the owners didn´ t have the heart to cut down".
This writing-for-kids series lacks some useful information though: you won´ t f´md details about hotels or prices because kids don´ t book rooms or worry about money. The guides aim to help one´ s travel research. Available for HK $ 90 at major bookshops.
What is the purpose of the text?

A.To compare guided tours.

Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo(纳瓦霍人)youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least hav-ing a big part in raising them.
Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life,emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.
The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving,caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.
The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.
I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our peo-ple. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.
We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us,but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, "Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence. " I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, "Anything that is a part of you is al-ways far more beautiful than the things which you pass by. " We had some beautiful years togeth-er. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.
Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and be-liefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.
From Paragraph 1 we can learn that__________.
A.children learn about the meaning of life from their grandparents
B.grandparents are usually unwilling to teach their grandchildren
C.schools are not very popular with the Navajo youth
D.parents hate to take the trouble to raise children
