A shadow is made when an object blocks light. The shadow appears the side of the object furthest from the light source. The object must be opaque or translucent to make a shadow. A transparent object will not make any shadow, as light will pass straight through it. Opaque object make dark shadows. Translucent objects make faint shadows. Transparent materials let light pass through them in straight lines, so that you can see clearly through them. Glass is an example of a transparent material. Translucent materials let some light through, but they scatter the light in all directions, so that you cannot see clearly through them. Tissue paper is an example of a translucent material. Opaque materials do not let any light pass through them. They block the light. Iron stick is an example of an opaque material. If an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger. If an object is moved further away from the light source, the shadow gets smaller. <Shadows made by the Sun>
1. We can investigate the Earth's rotation by observing the length and position of a shadow.
2. While the Earth rotates from the west to the east, the east part of the
Earth gets the sunshine earlier than the west.
3. This makes the Sun appears to rise from the east in the morning in the
middle of the sky at midday, and sets in the west at dusk.
4. If an object is places in an open space, the length the position of the shadow changes from the west to the east.
5. The changes of the length and the position of the shadow from the west to the east shows that the Earth rotates from the west to the
east.

食物二:全谷类 Whole Grains
全谷类内含丰富的维生素B群,共有八种不同的种类分别负责制造体内所需的能量,也是让神经细胞和神经传导物质生成不可或缺的。它们还能协助降低体内血糖及胆固醇。如果身体内同时缺少维生素B1、B6时,大脑运作便会迟钝、心情也会低落。由於B群维生素是协助热量和蛋白质顺利新陈代谢的重要因子,也是维持细胞正常功能的必要营养素;若摄取不足,体内的能量系统将无法供应足够的能源,大脑功能就因此而受到影响。富含B群的食物也包括:酵母、小麦胚芽、豆类、肉类、肝脏等。肉类或肝脏和洋葱、大蒜、韭菜烹调,对身体吸收B群更有帮助。 除此之外,全穀类也拥有丰富的维生素E及维生素B群、叶酸、眼尖酸等。叶酸则与神经发展、记忆力有关。叶酸不足则会贫血、生长迟缓,孕妇多补充叶酸,有助降低胎儿神经缺损的风险,菠菜、花椰菜等绿色蔬菜是叶酸的良好来源。 As the saying goes, "You are what you eat", which definitely applies to our mental functions abilities. To maintain a continued brain strength, we'll need a nutrient-rich diet which will keep our body and brain always function at its optimum level. Oatmeal, brown rice, whole-grain breads, popcorn and barley are food can help us promote healthy cardiovascular system and good blood flow throughout the organ system, which includes the brain. Oatmeal eaters will not experience a steep drop in blood-sugar levels, and that's a good thing. A dip in blood sugar can bring with it a release of hormones that affect mood. In some children, the hormones seem to affect concentration and memory. Eating a diet with whole grains especially for breakfast is one of the key to a healthy brain. |

单元一 演讲比赛
星期一,一个懒洋洋的日子,同学们犹如还怀念着星期日的电视节目和冰淇淋。偏偏每一个星期一都是周会日,校长总是喜欢在这一天给学生叮咛。然而,这些苦口婆心的叮咛对同学们来说却是“训话”,似乎无来由地被校长训了一顿。 站在那炎热的太阳底下的成成不耐烦地想着:“又来了。校长又在开始碎碎念。热死啦!还不快点。” 当然,除了叮咛,校长也宣布了即将在六月中举行一场一年一度的全校演讲比赛。同学们开始交头接耳的谈论起来。演讲比赛顿时成了同学们闲聊的课题。 成成心想:“好无聊哦!怎么还要上台说话!又没有我的份儿。” [更多。。。] |

<How to BOOST your brain power>
食物 一 :香蕉 Banana 对大脑生长发育有重要作用的物质主要有以下8种:脂肪Fats、钙Calcium、维生素C Vitamin C、糖 Glucose、蛋白质Protein、B族维生素 Vitamin B、维生素A Vitamin A、维生素E Vitamin E。许多富含这8种物质的食物都可算作是健脑食物.而身体需要能量来维持运作,而大脑的能量来源是葡萄糖Glucose。选择香蕉补充碳水化合物 Carbohydrate,可以让血糖不容易高低起伏很大。这个是因为香蕉内含有果胶,能释放葡萄糖的速度比较慢。想让大脑处于巅峰状态,就必须适时补充大脑的重要能量来源。此外,香蕉也含有丰富的矿物质,特别是钾离子的含量较高,另外香蕉中还含有一种能够帮助人体制造“开心激素”的氨基酸,可减轻心理压力,常吃香蕉补脑很有帮助。 To improve brain functioning, supplements which are needed include Calcium, Vitamin C, Proteins, Vitamin-B, Vitamin A, Vitamin-E, Folic Acid and more. Foods contain Omega-3 fatty acids are also important to help improve general brain functioning and restore memory. Thus, the whole body runs on carbohydrates. Too much of simple carbohydrates can be harmful to the body and brain functioning by creating a sharp rise in blood sugar. Complex carbohydrates digests well and do not cause sharp rises in blood sugar. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Not only that, research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. Thus, there's studies conclude that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Potassium which is highly found in bananas, is a vital mineral. It helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. During the preparation for the examination, often we are stressed out, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Go to a fruit stall today and get yourself a hand of bananas home!

Common factors that cause constipation include changes in diet, changes in routine or stressful events, or a reaction to potty training. In most cases the children the constipation is temporary and the children will pass the stools on their own. This is actually quite common in children and most usually caused by not drinking enough fluids, not eating enough fiber, or having a diet high in constipating foods like milk, cheese, and bananas. Constipation generally occurs when the colon absorbs too much water from waste, or the muscles are not able to contract effectively. In addition to having pain during bowel movement, children with constipation might experience cramping abdominal pain. These are all the signs and symptoms might have when constipation occurs. What we could do to prevent it ? Let's take note on the key recommendation from the Ministry of Health of Malaysia. Firstly, good choices of fluids include apple and prune juice or help yourself to find high fiber foods. [More...] |

(吉隆坡)首相夫人拿汀斯里罗斯玛表示,她有意在高风险区设立一个低收入家庭孩童及青少年艺术教育中心,以营造一个孩子放学後活动的安全环境。 她说,她需要与政府及相关单位讨论落实有关艺术教育中心的方法。 罗斯玛也是国家学前教育政策委员会(PERMATA)主席,她周二(6月1日)在私邸召开新闻发布会时表示,这样的艺术教育中心有助於减少儿童及青少年的社会问题。 她说,艺术教育中心能提供各种艺术课程,如音乐、绘画及舞蹈,可让儿童及青少年善用放学後的空余时间。 她表示,这也能避免儿童及青少年到不良地方游荡,进行不良活动。 “如果有个地方让他们做喜欢及有兴趣的事,如唱歌、玩音乐等,他们就会喜欢待在那个地方,这是好事。”
