Home Alone ChildrenEvery day thousands of children arrive home from school to an empty house. Every week thousands of parents make decisions to leave children home alone while they go to work, run errands, or for social engagements. It is estimated over 40% of children are left home at some time, though rarely overnight. In more extreme situations, some children spend so much time without their parent(s) that these children are labeled "latch key children", referring to the house or apartment key strung visibly around their neck.The movie "Home Alone", and its sequel, have portrayed a child's survival skills in a very humorous, but unrealistic manner. The realities facing children who find themselves home alone are very different. There are many issues and potential risks and dangers that parent(s) should consider before a child is placed in this situation. Parent(s) should consider the following:•Age readiness•Definition of parental "rules and expectations"•How to access parent(s) or other adults . phone numbers)•Potentially unsafe situations . medical emergencies, fire, alcohol, drugs, strangers, guns, etc.)•When and how to answer the phone or doorbell•Use of phone, 911 for emergencies•Use of computer (internet)•Friends and visitors coming to the house•Responsibilities for siblings•Use of unstructured time . watch TV, videos, etc.);•Access to "adult" cable TV; internet chat rooms and adult web sitesIt is not possible to make a general statement about when a child can be left home. Many states have laws which hold parents responsible for the supervision of their children. Older adolescents are usually responsible enough to manage alone for limited periods of time. Parent(s) must consider the child's level ofmaturity and past evidence of responsible behavior and good judgment. When a child is ready to be left alone, a graduated approach should be used starting with a very short period of time hour).Parent(s) should talk with their youngsters to prepare them for each of the issues or potential problems listed above. In addition, parent(s) should strive to make their home as safe as possible from obvious dangers and hazards and rehearse the developed "emergency plan" with their children. Parents should also teach their child important safety precautions . locking the door, dealing with strangers or visitors who come to the house, use of the stove, etc.)Being home alone can be a frightening and potentially dangerous situation for many children and adolescents. Parents should strive to limit the times when children are home alone. Parents should prepare their children in advance for how to deal with situations that may arise.。

AthenaAthena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius.Athena and her uncle Poseidon were both very fond of a certain city in Greece. Both of them claimed the city and it was decided that the one that could give the finest gift should have it. Leading a procession of citizens, the two gods mounted the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of the cliff with his trident and a spring welled up. The people marveled, but the water was as salty as Poseidon's sea and it was not very useful. Athena's gift was an olive tree, which was better because it gave the people food, oil and wood. Athena named her city Athens.Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl. Athena possessed the Aegis.。
马拉松的由来马拉松赛跑是历史悠久的一个奥运项目，自第1届现代奥运会开始以来，马拉松每届都被列入正式比赛项目。
马拉松原为希腊的一个地名，公元前490年，希腊军队在马拉松河谷以少胜多，大败入侵的波斯军。
当时，担任传令兵的菲迪皮得斯，奉命把这一胜利消息迅速转告固守待援的雅典。
他从马拉松跑到雅典后已精疲力尽，只说了一句"我们胜利了！"就倒毙在广场上。
1896年举行首届奥运会前，法国语言学家米歇尔·布里尔写信给顾拜旦，建议在奥运会田径赛中专门增设一项马拉松比赛，并提出捐献一个"布里尔银杯"，作为对冠军的奖赏，顾拜旦最终接受了他的建议。
在首届雅典奥运会上，马拉松赛所采用的是昔日菲迪皮得斯所跑过的路线，从马拉松至雅典全程40公里。
当希腊选手斯皮里东·路易斯第一个冲进运动场时全场欢声雷动，希腊国王乔治一世步下观礼台，亲自迎接这位凯旋的英雄，路易斯获得了希腊民族英雄的光荣称号，从此这项运动在世界各地推广开来，路易斯也被称为"奥林匹克之魂"。
第2届巴黎奥运会的马拉松比赛闹出了一个大笑话。
当时比赛的起点和终点均设在跑马场跑道上，路线是在巴黎市区转上一圈后再折回。
由于参加这次马拉松比赛的19名选手中只有法国选手对巴黎的大街小巷了如指掌，拐弯时可以"抄近路"，从而占了不少便宜。
结果，法国人泰阿托最先到达终点获得冠军。
瑞典19岁的小伙子法斯特，本可以取得更好的成绩，却被一名警察指错了路，最终只获得第3名。
事后，那位警察由于极度内疚而自杀身亡。
马拉松赛在被列入奥运正式项目后，前3届比赛的跑动距离一直不等，这种情况到第4届伦敦奥运时才得到改善。
当时马拉松赛因英王室成员提出要观看，大会组织者特地将出发点安排在温莎尔宫的草坪前，终点在白城运动场，二者距离长26英里。
而进入运动场后至王室成员包厢前的距离为385码，全程总长26英里385码，折合为42.195公里，这就是今日风靡世界的马拉松跑正式距离的由来。
