3、 smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate.

4、o try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad.

Babies who watched 60 minutes of TV daily had developmental scores a third lower at 14 months than babies who were watching less TV. Although their developmental scores were still in the normal range, the differen
11、ce may have been due to the fact that when children and parents are watching TV, they are missing the talking, playing and other communications that are important to learning and development.This new study, which appeared in the Aechives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, followed 259 lower-incom
