When the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which

can be beneficial to kids.

Reading out loud

If your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a

good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit

older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This

can also be done while they're doing something else.

Playing board games

Maybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time

to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to

connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!

Having a dance party

Considering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you

are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite

music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!

Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzles

For most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles

are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of

achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.

It was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate

nickname "toilet bowl" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months

ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.

The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons

(公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before

this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.

During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage

from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a

digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.

For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It's

one that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight against

humanity's waste.

There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in

September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar

project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection

point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.

That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the

country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the

third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans.

C. Occasionally decreased to. D. Gradually disappeared from.

6. What made poor communities willing to fight against waste?

A. The benefits to their homeland. B. The desire to make a difference.
