A Successful Year 丰收的一年

CIS Qingdao had a very successful Christmas Bazaar and Christmas Concert for their students of both Qingdao and Huangdao Campus. Our Parent Organisation for both campuses did a fantastic job at organising the bazaars! The highlight of the morning for the students was the arrival of Father Christmas! Each student received a small gift while they had their photo taken with him! There were a variety of craft activities for the

students to take part in and Christmas themed baked goodies filled the snack table! Our annual Christmas Concert took place at the Intercontinental hotel in Qingdao. Our talented Music teachers produced an excellent show where our students were given the opportunity to showcase their talents on the stage! We are thankful for our dedicated parents and staff for organising these two big events in December.

Musical 音乐 Monkeys 精灵 What do a ukulele, 1 year olds and a 30-something in a cow costume all have in common? They are all things you will regularly see at Musical Monkeys! 你知道尤克里里琴、一岁的孩子和穿奶牛装的30多岁的人有什么共同点吗？那就是你可以在“音乐精灵” 里看到的精彩演出！

tudies have shown that introducing music at an early age can aid child development and help them to advance their fine motor skills. It can help improve creativity and produce a lasting relationship between your child and music. Music has a direct link to language acquisition – in fact some studies have shown that “without the ability to hear musically, it would be impossible to learn to speak”. Brains are hard-wired to music and opportunities to cultivate this in a young child are, arguably, as important as helping them to understand letters, words and objects. I am sure we have all seen the effect that a lullaby can have on a restless child? Or how quickly a child will wake up when loud, aggressive noises (like when your upstairs neighbours decide they simply MUST drill through the wall at 5am)? The relationship between sound, music and children has been part of our lives for hundreds of years.

Musical Monkeys meets twice a month to sing songs, play games and enjoy some bonding time with other children. Graciously supported by YCIS Qingdao, this group not only allows children from 1-2 years old to experience and take part in live music, it also provides the chance for parents to meet and discuss, well whatever it is that parents discuss. As the next time the group meets will be on Valentine’s Day, they are holding a “We love our children!” party – with games, drinks and of course music, provided by Sam Mulliner, music teacher and professional musician. Running from 9:30am – 10:30pm on February 14th, buses will be provided from areas throughout Qingdao to transport to the YCIS campus in Shazikou. But don’t worry if you can’t make it, they are plenty more throughout the year. The monkey, the adult-sized cow (and the ukulele) look forward to seeing you and your child soon!

研

究表明，在儿童婴幼儿时期进行音乐早教，可以有效帮助儿童发展，不但能够提升孩子们的精细运动技能，也能够提高孩子们的创造力。事实上一些研究证明，音乐与语言习得有直接关联。“没有欣赏音乐的能力，就无法学会说话”，那是因为大脑将理解音乐的区域与学习语言的区域相连接，学习音乐对于帮助孩子们理解字母、单词和语言对象有着莫大的帮助。我们都知道音乐对于孩子有着非常大的影响。比如一首催眠曲可以让一个非常调皮的孩子变得十分安静的时候；或者当突然听到噪音，孩子们立刻惊醒的时候，我们就会了解，音乐与人类的关系是多么的紧密。 “音乐精灵”每两个月定期举办儿童唱歌、玩游戏等活动。活动由青岛耀中国际学校大力支持，参加活动不仅仅可以让1-2岁的孩子体验并参与现场音乐，同时还可以给家长们提供一个聚会的机会。下次“音乐精灵”的活动将于情人节当天举办，活动主题为：“我们爱我们的孩子！”活动过程中大家一起玩游戏、现场演奏音乐等，由音乐老师Sam Mulliner和其他专业的音乐老师一起主持。活动时间为：2月14 日上午9点半到10点半，有提供到青岛耀中国际学校的班车。别担心没有赶上这次机会，因为我们全年都会有活动！如果您有兴趣，请通过邮件联系enquiry@qd.ycef.com获取更多信息。

A Different Kind

of Christmas 别样圣诞

few months ago, my wife and I were talking about our upcoming Christmas plans. As a family of five, Christmas has evolved into much more than it was when it was just the two of us. Our children are now getting old enough to understand that Christmas means many things, including receiving gifts. It was this realisation that made us, as parents, really want to teach our children the values and true meaning of Christmas as opposed to just gift giving and receiving. We belong to an expatriate community, and to be honest, most of us are accustomed to a privileged life here in our host country. Gift exchanges are a frequent part of life throughout the year on occasions such as birthdays, festivals, and many others. Just repeating the same old Christmas gift-giving was suddenly not very appealing to us. This year, my wife and I have observed many in the city work with charity groups and contribute in their own ways through time, money and commitment. As parents, we want to continually look for opportunities to involve our children in these various opportunities to give to others, not only to benefit those less fortunate than us, but to set an example for our children about what it means to really “give.” We want them to see that we give and help not only because we can, but that as we give of ourselves, we as the givers become the real receivers.

So on the morning of December 25th, we (with our very excited children) headed out of Qingdao to a village near Jimo City, about an hour away. We had prepared our kids for this trip, telling them days in advance that we would be doing something “different” on Christmas Day. They asked us countless questions, and they were as involved as possible as we planned activities, collected items to donate and bought small gifts for 26 kindergarteners and first graders at the small village school. With the help of the Qingdao Expat Charity Group, we were able to visit this school and spend about an hour and a half celebrating Christmas Day with these precious children. The teachers and students we visited seemed excited to have us there, but I think we were probably even more excited than they were as we talked, laughed and played with the children. The students were very well behaved, uniformly greeting us and listening intently as we sang some Christmas songs and explained why we celebrate Christmas. Our children passed out crayons and Christmas colouring pages, and the students carefully coloured them, some of them giggling and talking while they did so. We decorated a small Christmas tree for their classroom as they coloured, and then ended our time there by handing out small gifts to each child. Our hearts swelled with joy as we

watched our children, who are so used to being the receivers, hand out our small prepared gifts. As each child thanked them, we could see our children being affected, their focus being shifted away from themselves and from what toys or games they would receive for Christmas to what they were able to give. After several group pictures were taken, we headed back home to Qingdao. On the way back, we visited another school and learned of more opportunities to serve and be involved with the many small local village schools. As we talked with our children about our experiences, it was clear that they had enjoyed our trip to the school. The first question our oldest asked as we left Jimo was, “When are we coming back Papa?” He then proceeded to make plans for us to go back and play with the students on their playground, next time bringing a soccer ball for them to play with. Since then, our children have often brought up the events of that day, talking about the kids in the village school and the activities and experiences we had there. While

COMMUNITY 园和小学一年级的26位学生准备了小礼物。在青岛外籍慈善团体的帮助下，我们有幸可以来到这所学校，与天真无邪的孩子们共度圣诞节。学生和老师都十分热情，我们也兴奋不已，大家有说有笑，其乐融融。学生们个个都十分有礼貌，和我们打招呼，专心地听我们唱圣诞歌和讲述圣诞节的由来。接着，三个孩子给学生们发了蜡笔和圣诞涂色画，大家认认真真地涂色，时不时还能听到阵阵欢声笑语。我们也没闲着，在他们涂色之余，忙着装点圣诞树。不知不觉，活动已接近尾声，我们把精心准备的礼物发给每位学生，结束了这次乡村之行。孩子们一向习惯从别人那里得到各种礼物，头一次见他们给别人派发礼物，我们心里感到无比喜悦。孩子们也似乎被一句接一句的谢谢所触动，注意力不再是自己会得到什么玩具或者游戏，而是能送给别人什么礼物。我们拍了一些合影作为留念，然后便驱车返回。返程途中，我们还去了另一所学校，了解到有更多援助活动可以参与。

we definitely enjoyed ourselves that day, I think that as a family the day meant a lot more to us than just the fun we had. It was a way for us to interact with some of the children of our host country and to share our culture with them. It was a way for our children to focus on others besides themselves and to realize the joy of being givers as opposed to just receivers. The fact that our children still talk about this experience we shared with enthusiasm and joy is evidence that it is never too early to experience the joy of giving. It truly was a different kind of Christmas, one that we will never forget and one that we hope our children never do either.

概几个月以前，我和妻子就已开始商量今年的圣诞计划。从最初的两人世界，到现在五口人的大家庭，圣诞对于我们的意义，已不像原来那么简单。孩子们也渐渐长大，对他们来说，圣诞节不再只是有好多好多礼物而已。因为意识到孩子已开始懂事，所以作为家长的我们，有必要把圣诞的价值和真正意义灌输给孩子，让他们明白交换礼物之外的其他内涵。说实话，和大多数长期在中国工作的外籍家庭一样，我们已经习惯这里优越的生活。一年之中，生日聚会，大大小小的节日都免不了送这送那，因此我们所期待的圣诞，一定不再只是送些礼物就算过完了。今年，我和妻子留意到，身边有许多外籍人士都出钱出力，通过多种方式为慈善团体做贡献。作为父母，我们也希望能有机会让孩子们参与到这类慈善活动中，不但可以帮助他人，而且还可以让孩子们领悟到“给予”的真正含义。我们之所以施以援助，一方面因为我们有能力做到，另一方面我们也会有许多收获。

很显然，孩子们很享受这次的乡村学校之行。当问及他们对此次活动的感想时，老大第一个问题就是“爸爸，咱们什么时候再去那儿？”然后说了一大串儿下次去的打算，还说到时候要带个足球，和他们一起去操场踢。自那以后，孩子们经常会提起那天的活动，学校的小朋友们，以及自己的感受。对整个家庭而言，这次乡村学校之行带给我们的，不只是欢乐，还有更多深层次的东西。它让我们能有机会与中国儿童沟通交流，和他们分享我们的文化。也让孩子们懂得关心他人，懂得给予而不是一味地想获取。在我们看来，应该让孩子从小就体验给予的快乐，这次经历就是最好的佐证。这是一次非凡的圣诞之旅，我们会永远珍藏在记忆里，也希望能深深地印在孩子的脑海里。如果您也愿意去青岛周边，尤其是即墨地区的学校，帮助那里的学生，请发送电邮至ttapley@isqchina.com，联系青岛外籍慈善团体。

圣诞节一大早，我们就带上三个兴奋的孩子，前往即墨附近的一个小乡村，差不多一小时车程就到了。孩子们很早便得知，今年的圣诞和往年会有所不同，经历过这样那样问题的轮番轰炸后，我们和孩子们一起策划活动，收集捐出的物品，还为该乡村幼儿

Family Spotlight 家在青岛

take her photo or comment about how beautiful she is. She is used to being a phenomenon.

What are some benefits to raising children in Qingdao? D: It’s a great way for our kids to learn a second language. They get to make friends with people from all over the world. Our children also get a first hand perspective on Chinese culture and history. Living here has provided an opportunity for our kids to experience living in a country that has been a well established civilization for thousands of years. And we get to experience it together making us closer as a family.

The Chernock Family Oskar (9), Evelyn (4), Alexei Chernock & Jennifer Nicklas (both 33) America

What brought you guys to Qingdao/China? DAD: We made the decision to pursue an international lifestyle to see the world and give our children some global perspective. Honestly, when Jen went to the job fair in Boston, China was not even on our radar. We were hoping for something in Europe. She had a couple of offers in Morocco and Italy but the total package was not quite good enough. Qingdao was sold to us as the San Francisco of China, the city with the highest quality of life in China, and we became intrigued. Clearly not San Fran but I sort of see where they are coming from. MUM: I felt like we needed to make a change and I get restless about every three years. I had a friend who landed a job teaching overseas and had a wonderful time, so we

decided to make the leap. When we received an offer here, we thought it seemed like a good balance between affordability, quality of life, and cultural experience. Plus, it’s a great place to travel with so many wonderful destinations nearby.

What are some challenges that you have faced raising children in Qingdao? D: Air/ water quality and food safety concerns. Not playing little league baseball, fewer sports opportunities in general. Older Chinese women scolding us because our children are not dressed for Siberia. Tai Leng. Well meaning, but can be a bit overkill. M: Limited stuff to do compared to back home. You have to get pretty creative sometimes or get lucky and meet the right people who know where all the secret kid hangouts are. A strange outcome of living here has caused my daughter to not understand why when we go back to the states nobody rushes up to

M: China is a very family friendly place. People adore children here and treat them very kindly, sometimes to the point of spoiling them. I may have a false sense of security, but China feels very safe. You can walk almost anywhere, anytime of day and feel safe.

How do you believe your children’s perception of the world is compared to if they were raised solely in your respective home country? D: Their perception of geography and culture has been greatly affected even just by understanding the relationships within China and with its neighboring countries. Most kids in the states probably just think China is China north to south east to west. And they also believe China is probably not much different from Korea, Japan, and so on. No, these countries are very different and our kids get to experience much more closely how people from these different regions view themselves and their position in the world. M: The world is much smaller for them. People in the U.S. can be isolated from the rest of the world.

COMMUNITY We have other cultures and ethnic groups living in our country, but it isn’t the same as living in Europe where you have to cross borders frequently. Growing up I thought these countries were so far away and the people were so different. But, people are people wherever you go. My children will grow up not feeling restricted by physical distances or cultural differences.

currently playing in a Saturday soccer league and this past summer he took sailing lessons in Darling Harbor which is something that’s not as accessible back home. As far as community service goes, it can be difficult to find things outside of school related activities but that may be just a matter of getting to know more people.

What place(s) would you recommend to other families for a day trip?

Oskar (9 岁), Evelyn (4 岁) , Alexei Chernock & Jennifer Nicklas (both 33 岁) 来自美国

D: Laoshan. There are some great beach spots and scenic places to visit along the way out to the mountain. If you are looking for something to do in town, Underwater World and then a trip down to Zhongshan Lu. There are some interesting places to visit in that part of town. M: Huangdao is pretty cool. We’ve visited the beaches there and we’ve heard there are some great parks & playgrounds. We also go visit the hot springs out in Jimo during the colder months. It is an easy trip and the kids can spend a whole day there while the adults relax.

What does the future hold for you and your family? D: We seem to have set a family trend of moving somewhere new every 3-5 years. M: Not really sure. . I think we will probably end up moving to Europe at some point, but right now Qingdao is a nice place to be.

What opportunities have arisen for your kids to be involved in the community? D: Most of the opportunities they have are through the school or neighboring schools. We are always looking for more opportunities to get them involved. M: There are many schools and businesses that offer sports camps & activities for kids. My son is

Chernock一家

是什么风把你们吹来了中国？爸爸：我们决定要过一种更国际更多元化的生活，让孩子们培养全球化的视野。老实说，Jen之前获得了几家摩洛哥和意大利公司的青睐，不过他们提供的待遇都不是很好。青岛对于我们来说，就像是中国的三藩市，在中国算是生活水平挺高的一座城市，我们就心动了。这里虽然跟三藩市还有一定距离，不过我能看到这两座城市的相似之处。妈妈：我觉得我们要改变一下之前的生活。在一个地方每三年左右，我就会有种待不下去了的感觉。我有个朋友，她获得了一份在海外教书的工作，日子过得挺滋润的。所以我们也想试试。刚获得这份工作时，我们衡量了一下，觉得这份待遇还可以，能生活得挺得体，也不缺乏文化新奇。还有，青岛是个旅行的好地方，这附近有很多地方有待我们探索。

在中国/青岛养育孩子，有什么好处？爸爸：孩子们可以学第二门语言。他们可以跟来自全世界的孩子做朋友。还有，他们可以亲眼/亲身体验中国文化，获得关于中国历史的一手资料。他们可以了解一个人类文明发展了数千年的国家。我们也可以一块儿分享自身体验，从而拉近各自的距离。妈妈：中国是个特别重视家庭的国家。大人们一般都很喜欢小孩子，也很善待他们，有时候甚至到了宠爱的地步。我不知道这是不是错觉，不过我觉得在这里特别安全。哪里都可以去，什么时候去都没问题。

在你的祖国养育孩子跟在这里相比，你怎么看待他们现在对世界的各种看法？爸爸：他们对地理和文化的理解，很大程度上被他们对中国跟邻国的关系的理解而影响了。在美国，大部分孩子可能只知道：中国就是东西南北很大一个国家；还有就是

他们觉得中国跟韩国、日本、台湾这些邻国没什么两样。但这些国家实际上很不一样，在这里，我们的孩子可以近距离地观察和理解这些国家之间的文化差异，包括这些国家的人是如何看待自己以及他们在全世界的地位等等。妈妈：我觉得对孩子们来说，世界变得更小了。在美国，很多时候其他国家的事物会让人觉得很遥远。我们国家是汇聚了来自各个国家各个民族的人，但这跟住在欧洲、经常穿越国境的生活方式有很大不同。我记得自己在长大的过程中总是认为这些国家很遥远，那里的人很不一样。不过真的，其实到哪里，人都是一样的。我觉得在这里，我的孩子们不会再像我这样觉得地理距离和文化差异不可逾越。

你的孩子们融入青岛本地社区的机会多吗？爸爸：在学校，他们有很多机会融入社区，跟别的小朋友们打成一片。我们也总是到处给他们打听可以参与的机会。妈妈：这里很多学校和机构都可以给孩子们提供活动。我的儿子现在就每周六去参加足球训练营，在刚过去的夏天，他还去心海广场那里学了帆船课程。这样的活动在美国是找不到的。就现在的情况来看，要是在学校外面找活动参加的话可能会有些困难，不过要是认识多一些人，或者他们会有好的推荐。

要是出去一天的话，你会给别的家庭推荐哪些地方呢？爸爸：崂山。那里有很多沙滩，进山里的话也有很多漂亮的景色。如果你想在市区里找地方玩的话，可以去海底世界，然后去老城区中山路兜一圈。老城区那一带也挺有意思的。妈妈：黄岛挺好玩的。我们去过那里的沙滩，听说那里还有些好玩的公园和操场之类的。再冷些的时候，我们也会去即墨泡温泉。可好玩了，孩子们可以在那儿待上一整天，我们可以享受放松的温泉。

对于未来，你和你的家庭是怎么看的呢？爸爸：我们应该是每3-5年都会换个地方住。妈妈：不太确定。这就是海外教书这种工作的性质。我觉得我们可能最后会欧洲，不过现在在青岛就挺不错的。

Hairstylist Zoe suggested “Moda” – one of their 2014 hair trends – to Regie along with some fashionable elements from the ‘50s, making her hair fluffy, medium length and in a vintage style. Zoe used some of TONI&GUY’s classic haircutting methods, to get her hair thinner and dynamic-looking. After cutting, the stylist applied some Sebastian Thickefy Foam on Regie’s hair, making each strand straight at the base and curly toward the end, in order to fit Regie’s temperament better. In the last procedure, several drops of Sebastian Trilliant Thermal Protector and Shimmer Complex was applied to make Regie’s hair shinier.

发型设计发型师Zoe给Regie选择了T&G2014年流行趋势中的一款“The Moda”，加以上世纪五十年代一些潮流因素，设计出复古蓬松的中发。发型师运用了T&G的一些经典的剪裁方法，使发尾部轻薄动感。剪裁完成后，发型师用SEBASTIAN雪盈摩丝创造发量感，使整个造型以直发为主。发尾部略带弧度，更衬托Regie的母性与柔美大方。在造型结束时，加以SEBASTIAN焕光亮发液，使模特的头发瞬间散发亮泽。

It had been a long time since Anna last went to the stylist, so her hair was a bit dry and frizzy. To start, hairstylist Andy gave her hair and scalp a “SPA” treatment with Kerastase’s Elixir Ultime Hair Beautifying Oil. After the cutting, Andy applied a handful of Sebastian Thickefy Foam to make sure Anna’s hair stayed light-looking and fluffy.

Pregnancy Tips 孕妇小贴士

ausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as “morning sickness,” the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time. It begins between the second and eighth weeks of pregnancy. Most women who have morning sickness experience nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner for some women. Sometimes women report an increase in sensitivity to certain odours or smells that can sometimes cause nausea and/or vomiting. Cham Shan Int’l Medic Centre has got some advices for you:

What to eat, and when • In the morning, eat a few crackers and rest for 15 minutes before getting up. • Eat small meals or snacks often, so your stomach does not become empty (for example, every two hours). Try not to skip meals. • Eat what you feel like and eat when you are hungry, though you may want to avoid cooking or eating spicy, fatty or fried foods because of the smell. • If cooking smells bother you, open windows and turn on the stove fan. If possible, ask someone else to cook, or make cold food instead of hot, it may not smell as strongly.

Getting enough rest • Get plenty of rest, and try napping during the day; nausea tends

to worsen when you are tired. Many women find they need more sleep in the first three months of pregnancy.

Lifestyle strategies • Get plenty of fresh air and avoid warm places as feeling hot can add to nausea. • Get up slowly and do not lie down right after eating.

恶

心和呕吐在怀孕早期很常见。传统上被称为“晨吐”，恶心和呕吐随时可能发生，无论是白天还是夜晚。晨吐行为常在怀孕第二至第八周期间出现。大多数妇女在怀孕一个月后会开始晨吐，其中有些孕妇的晨吐现象会很快消失。但有时若对某些气味或味道敏感，一些孕妇在晨吐时可能会表现得更加强烈。来看看湛山国际医疗中心对减轻妊娠反应的建议：

吃什么，何时吃

Food ideas to help relieve nausea • • • • • •

Salty: pretzels, tart, lemonade Crunchy: celery sticks, apple, nuts Bland: mashed potatoes Sweet: cake, sugary cereals Fruity: watermelon, fruit popsicles Liquid: juice, seltzer water

For address please see listings.

·早上起床之前，先吃一些咸饼干，然后休息15分钟再起床。 ·坚持少食多餐（如每两小时进食一次），这样你的胃不会空空的。 ·一般来说，你应该在饿的时候吃，并且吃自己想吃的东西。不过也要注意避免辛辣、油腻或者油炸的食品。 ·如果烹饪时的油烟味让你觉得不舒服，请打开窗户和抽油烟机。如果可以的话，让别人来为你下厨，或者做一些偏凉的菜，这样闻起来不会像热菜的味道那么强烈。

保证充足的休息 ·保证充足的休息，白天也多打盹小憩几次。疲惫时你会感觉更加恶心。许多妇女发现在怀孕的前三个月需要更多的睡眠。

转变生活方式 ·多呼吸新鲜空气，避免长时间待在过于暖和的地方，热气会让你更容易恶心和呕吐。 ·起床时慢一点，吃饭后不要马上躺下。

有助于减轻晨吐的食物 ·咸 : 椒盐卷饼、酸甜泡菜、柠檬水 ·脆 : 芹菜梗、苹果片、坚果 ·软 : 土豆泥 ·甜 : 蛋糕、甜麦片粥 ·水果 : 西瓜、水果冰棒 ·液体 : 果汁、苏打水地址详见地址簿。

牙齿 Teeth 美白 Whitening

smile with neat and white teeth is the first attractive thing people see in our social lives. You’ll feel more confident in experessing yourself with white teeth. therefore, more and more people are looking for teeth whitening treatments. Many are already familiar with bleaching treatments because they may see the various ads wherever they go, but bleaching is not the only way to make your teeth whiter. Actually dentists would prefer you utilise a tailor-made treatment which is more effective and lasts longer, based on how teeth become discoloured in the first place.

Reasons for discolouration: 1. Exogenous colouring (tartar; tobacco, coffee and tea use, etc.) 2. Yellowing by age. 3. Fluorosis. 4. Tetracycline Stain. 5. Cavity, injured and other factors.

整

齐洁白的牙齿是人们社交的第一张名片，会让你在表达中更加自信。因此，越来越多人寻求美白牙齿治疗。由于化学美白的宣传较多，老百姓已耳熟能详。但是牙医会根据导致牙齿发黄、变黑的原因，采用更多有效并持久的方法。

牙变色的原因： 1. 牙齿外源性着色（牙结石、烟渍、咖啡茶渍等）； 2. 牙齿增龄性发黄； 3. 氟斑牙； 4. 四环素牙； 5. 龋齿、外伤等其他因素。

See Dr. Olive’s Solutions 廖医生的专业建议

Regular teeth cleaning and brushing carefully will solve the exogenous spots.

对于外源性着色的污渍，定期洗牙并认真刷牙即立即解决。

You may consider bleaching (in office or at home) to remove the light yellow caused by aging or tetracycline stain.

年龄增长或四环素导致的轻度变黄，可以考虑化学漂白（诊室或家庭做）。

Mild fluorosis due to porous enamel during development, so bleaching would not be suitable. We should remove the porous layer just like polishing a piece of jade to keep the gloss longer. If a part of the tooth is deeply stained or has developed into a cavity, we could fill with resin after polish. 轻度氟斑牙由于釉质发育时表面多孔，不适合单纯漂白，而是应该象打磨玉石样抛光去掉多孔层才能持久，如果局部着色深，或者有龋洞，还可以磨除后树脂填充。

With serious discolouration or defect, veneers (resin or porcelain) are a popular choice. 比较重的变色或伴有缺损，优先选用贴面（树脂或瓷的）。

We only consider using ceramic crowns if there is a severe defect on a front tooth. 严重缺损的前牙才考虑用瓷全冠。

What Makes a

Food

Super? 超级食品

Does it wear a cape and save people from harm? 它是食品超人吗？可以为我们的健康保驾护航吗？

o cape, but those who believe in the benefits from superfoods would certainly agree that consumption of them saves people from harm. Health benefit claims of superfoods include increased vitality, improved sexual performance, boosting the immune system and healing cancer. On the other hand, unbiased information is hard to come by. It’s hard to know what claims are true; there are far fewer studies of actual food as opposed to medicine and food products. It’s hard to tell if you can derive the same benefits from superfoods in their various forms such as powders or supplements, as opposed to consuming them in their natural form. Also, how much do we need to consume? For example, large quantities versus adding a little to your smoothie. We also don’t know as much as we would like about how air quality, soil quality, and water quality impact the nutritional value of our food . There is no official definition that certifies a food as a superfood. However, what most superfoods

have in common is a combination of the following characteristics. • Low calories • High fiber • High proportion of Omega-3 fatty acids • High in phytochemicals • High in vitamins and minerals Although the idea of superfoods is a relatively recent phenomenon, many of them are foods that have been touted as healthy for decades, if not centuries in their native environments, but have only recently become known or publicised in other parts of the world. From personal experience I can’t think of any particular long- or short-term benefits that I or my family can attribute to consumption of cacao, goji berries or chia seeds, but we do consider them part of our healthy diet of mostly whole foods. A high percentage of superfoods hail from South America, India and China. The Ayurvedic tradition of India and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are good places to explore the superfoods that are associated with those cultures. In this article I’m going to introduce you to three from South America and one from China.

虽然超级食品并没有超人那么神奇，但确实有一些人相信，超级食品有益于身体健康，能让我们远离疾病。超级食品的功效包括：让人精力充沛、提高性能力、增强免疫力，还有抗癌的效果。虽说如此，但这些所谓的功效仍有待验证。相比较于对药物和食品的研究，关于超级食品功效方面的研究还较为匮乏。以下种种疑问都有待验证：如果将超级食品转化成粉状，或者作为补充剂添加进别的食品后，是否具有原先的功效？是否吃越多超级食品就越好，如何把握摄入超级食品的度？还有空气、土壤和水质的不同，是否会影响到食品的营养价值？对于超级食品，目前并没有权威的界定。不过大多数超级食品都有如下特征：低热量、高纤维、富含omega3脂肪酸、富含植物营养素、富含维生素和矿物质虽然超级食品是最近才开始流行起来一种概念，但其中的一些食品，其实长期以来都被认为有助于健康，它们在原产地少说也生长了数百年，只不过最近才被推广。虽然我还没发现自己和家人是否因为食用可可、枸杞或奇亚籽而变得更健康，不过我们确实认为这些是健康食品。南美洲、印度和中国，都生长有许多超级食品。从印度的阿育吠陀（印度传统医学）和中医的药典里都能发现超级食品的身影。以下四种超级食品，其中三种来自南美洲，一种来自中国。

FOOD & NUTRITION

t Cacao (Theobroma cacao) 可可 that decrease the health benefits of the cacao bean. In order to reap the benefits of eating chocolate chose a dark chocolate which contains at least 70% cacao. You can find such bars at the supermarkets in Hisense Plaza and Marina City, Metro, Carrefour and even some of the more Chinese consumeroriented grocery stores like Lotus. I also use raw cacao powder, which I order online, when making smoothies and hot chocolate.

Cacao is the name of the fruit that produces chocolate. Who doesn’t want to hear that chocolate is good for them? The benefits of cacao include regulating blood sugar, improving mood, decreasing bad LDL cholesterol and decreasing blood pressure. The components of cacao that produce these results are antioxidants, such as flavanols and polyphenols. This doesn’t mean that you should start eating chocolate bars. Most chocolate candy bars are laden with sugar, milk, soy lecithin and other ingredients

可可是一种分布于热带美洲的植物，其果实通常被用来制作巧克力。那些喜欢巧克力的人，这会儿一定在偷着乐吧。可可有着平衡血糖水平、调节情绪、降低胆固醇和血压的功效。这些功效都来自于可可中所含的抗氧化物质，比如黄烷醇和多酚类化合物。不过在尽情享受巧克力之前，还需要注意下面几点。大多数巧克力中除了有可可外，还有糖、牛奶、大豆卵磷脂等其他配料，这些物质降低了可可的功效。为了更好地利用可可的功效，不妨选择一些可可含量高于70%的黑巧克力。在海信广场和百丽广场的超市、麦德龙、家乐福甚至是一些中国顾客较多的超市（比如易初莲花）都可以买到。我自己也从网上订购生可可粉，用来做奶昔和热巧克力。

t Chia Seeds (Salvia hispanica) 奇亚籽(芡欧鼠尾草籽)

tapioca balls that are in bubble tea. I add them to smoothies and oatmeal. I recently saw a recipe for using them to make raw, vegan jam, without sugar or pectin. Chia seeds are high in fiber and also a good source of phosphorous, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and iron. They are rich in Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 . I haven’t seen them available anywhere in stores here in Qingdao, so see the side bar below for ordering information. 如果你来自美国，那一定记得人偶盆栽吧，就是那种头上长草的陶制人偶。 For those of you from the US, you might remember Chia Pets, the strange little terracotta planters that sprouted “fur.” Yes, I’m suggesting that you eat the same basic seed that was used to create that cute little creature. The sprouts can also be eaten, but the seeds themselves have some special properties that make them even more interesting. The seeds become gelatinous when wet so it’s a little like eating a smaller version of the

你猜得没错，奇亚籽就是这种草的种子。长出的小草其实也可食用，不过还是用来做人偶盆栽更有意思。奇亚籽遇水会膨胀，变成一粒粒胶状小球，就像珍珠奶茶里的珍珠一样，不过略微小一点。我会在榨好的果汁或者麦片里加一点儿。最近读到一篇素食菜谱，里面讲到可以用奇亚籽，无需加糖和果胶，就可以做素食果酱。奇亚籽富含膳食纤维，还可以为人体提供所需的磷、锰、钙、镁等元素。此外，奇亚籽还富含 Omega-3，Omega-6和Omega-9脂肪酸。虽然至今仍未在青岛任何一家店里找到这种超级种子，但你可以通过下面列举的网站订购。

t Maqui Berry (Aristotelia chilensis) 马基莓 which have potent anti-inflammatory powers. Inflammation is considered to be the root cause in most chronic health problems that we are faced with today, including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. They are also a good source of Vitamin C, calcium, potassium and iron. I have not personally used maqui berries, however I recently found out that there is a source of dried maqui berries here in Qingdao and I look forward to trying them soon.

These small berries look similar to blueberries and reportedly taste similar to blackberries. They come from a small part of the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina; they are mostly available in powder, juice and supplement form. Maqui berries are high in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins which give maqui its rich purple color. They contain unusually high levels of a specific anthocyanin called delphinidins

“Growing weary of retirement, I researched at length which product I’d like to promote in China. Finally, after extensive research I came to the conclusion that maqui berry was indeed the most suitable product. Before I would sell any product, especially a food, I would first have to ingest it. For one full year I took maqui berry on a daily basis as did my 84-year-old mother, my wife, and son, who is now nine. My mother who has had Type II Diabetes for 40 years plus arthritis has shown great improvements, she requires much less medicine and feels overall healthier with more energy. Her

马基莓在外型上类似于蓝莓，据说味道和黑莓相似。它分布于巴塔哥尼亚高原和阿根廷的一小部分地区。市面上通常可以买到马基莓汁，马基莓粉或者以马基莓作为原料制成的营养补充剂。马基莓富含抗氧化物质，尤其是花青素，这也使得马基莓呈深紫色。其中一种叫做翠雀花素的花青素含量极其高，它可以有效缓解体内的炎症。人体内的炎症被认为是大多数慢性疾病的根源，比如糖尿病、心脏病和关节炎。马基莓还可为机体提供维生素C、钙、钾和铁等微量元素。我从来没有尝试过马基莓，不过最近我在青岛发现了一家马基莓干进口商，抽空一定去买些尝尝。

“退休后的生活变得越来越乏味，于是我开始大范围地做研究，希望能找到一种最合适在中国推广的产品，随着研究的深入，我发现马基莓很有前景，最值得向大家推荐。在销售任何产品之前，我都会先亲身体验一回。我让自己 84岁的母亲，妻子，还有现在9岁的儿子，坚持每天食用马基莓，至今已经整整一年了。

doctor was almost in shock and asked her if she had changed her diet or anything else, after she told her about maqui berry, the doctor said they weren’t even familiar with the superfood! The rest of us, in particular my wife and I have increased energy and have noticed much less frequency in illness. My son is very healthy and strong.”

食用马基莓后，母亲得了40年的2 型糖尿病有所好转，关节炎也有了很大的改善，她现在的药量比以前减少了，感觉更健康更有精神。这种转变让母亲的医生也大吃一惊，还询问是否改变了饮食搭配或者采用了其他方法。不过也许是这种食品的宣传力度还不够，当知道母亲食用的是马基莓时，连医生都似乎没听过这种浆果。我的妻子在食用马基莓后变得更加精力充沛，而且抵抗力也有所增强，不常生病了。儿子也很健康，体力棒棒的！” Steve Joyce Maqui Berry Importer/Retailer 马基莓进口商/零售商

t Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum and Lycium Chinense) 枸杞

best to avoid goji berries. Goji berries have been shown to interact with certain medications, specifically blood thinners, such as warfarin, and cause bleeding. They have also been known to interact with certain antibiotics, cholesterollowering medications and anti-depressants. In general, if you take prescription medication on a regular basis please consult with your physician before adding goji berries to your diet.

Goji berries are native to China and are easily found in any market or store. I was first introduced to them when they were added to my hot water at a student’s home not long after I came to Qingdao. Today I eat them frequently in my breakfast of oatmeal or millet. Like the other superfoods above, goji berries are high in antioxidants, and a good source of Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6 and E as well as calcium, potassium, selenium and zinc. Goji berries are said to help control diabetes, lower LDL cholesterol, and according to at least one source, have been used in TCM as an aphrodisiac. As with any supplement or superfood you should be cautious of including too much in your diet. But with goji berries I have two specific cautions. One is that they are part of the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and peppers) and therefore people that are allergic or sensitive to these foods would be

枸杞对于中国人来说一点也不陌生，在超市等各类商店都能买到。我第一次接触到枸杞是在青岛的一个学生家里，当时他在给我的热水里加了一点儿枸杞。现在我经常吃枸杞，比如早餐的麦片和小米里都会放上少许。和上面三种超级食品一样，枸杞富含抗氧化物质，可以为机体提供维生素A、C、B1、B2、B6和E,还可以提供钙、硒、锌等微量元素。枸杞可以控制糖尿病，降低胆固醇水平，中医学还认为枸杞有壮阳的功效。凡事都有一个度，超级食品并不是吃得越多越好。不过关于枸杞，除了量之外，大家需注意以下两点。首先，枸杞属于茄属植物（跟西红柿、土豆、茄子和辣椒同属），如果你之前就对茄属植物过敏的话，最好不要食用枸杞。还有，枸杞会影响某些药物的药效，特别是抗凝血素，比如华法林；还会引起流血。此外枸杞还会影响抗生素、降低胆固醇药物、抗抑郁药的作用。总之，如果你现在需要按时服药的话，最好在食用枸杞之前咨询一下医生。

ood is the highlight of the holidays for most of us, and in spite of our best efforts to make the healthiest food choices, it is sometimes nearly impossible to resist those delicious treats! Yes, December is usually synonymous with an abundance of eating and a lack of exercise, and we unfortunately often come back in January more tired than before! The main reason of the fatigue and heaviness we often experience after the holidays is that our digestive system has suffered from excess. The fact is our digestive system is an important key to living a long and healthy life. It is made up of several organs working together in order to break down, absorb and process nutrients in the food we eat. Without healthy digestion, the body doesn’t work properly and toxins may build up, leading to various diseases. Conducting a healthy lifestyle, exercising and eating real food without preservatives is a simple way to

support the natural detoxification of your body’s organs. Below are some simple tips to bring back balance and energy into your life and start this New Year on the right foot! 节日里少不了大餐。很多时候即使我们再注重养生，美食的诱惑确实难以抵挡啊！ 12月通常是许多人胡吃海喝的季节，而且又懒得动弹。因此，假期归来后，大家不免都会比之前更加疲乏。造成这种疲乏、负重感的主要原因来自于我们的消化系统，不规律、无节制的饮食会给整个系统带来不小的负担。要知道，消化系统对于人的寿命和健康十分重要。人的消化系统由多个器官构成，它们互相协作，分解食物，吸收营养。如果没有健康的消化系统，整个身体就无法正常运作，产生的毒素会逐渐积累，导致多种疾病。养成健康的生活习惯，进行适当的锻炼，食用绿色无公害食品，这些都有助于机体对毒素的分解。下面向大家介绍一些小妙招，希望能够帮你缓解节后的疲乏，让机体恢复平衡，充满活力，健健康康地迎接新的一年。

It is more important than ever to stock your kitchen with real ‘whole’ food! Your healthy shopping list should include: plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and beans, nuts and seeds. These super-powered foods are packed with essential nutrients including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and can boost our health from the inside out. To make sure to get your full spectrum of vitamins and minerals in your diet, colour your plate by eating a rainbow everyday! 绿色健康的食品对于整个机体来说是至关重要的。一份健康的购物清单应该包括：各类水果和蔬菜、谷物和豆类、还有坚果和瓜子等。这些食物可以为你提供充足的能量，还可以补充维生素、矿物质、抗氧化物质等营养素，让你由内而外神采奕奕。想要保证维生素和矿物质的全面均衡，那么不妨每天来顿“彩虹餐”吧。

We tend to reach for those warm beverages in the morning like coffee and tea, but try starting your day with some warm lemon water first to kick-start digestion! Starting every morning with a glass of warm lemon water is actually a ritual in Ayurveda traditions, used to stimulate digestion for the day and clear the body of any toxins that may have settled in the digestive tract overnight. Lemons, high in Vitamin C and other antioxidants, are also known to support the immune function and to purge toxins from the blood, helping to keep skin clear of blemishes. Simply use half a fresh lemon per large glass of water and sip throughout the day.

大家早上一般都习惯来杯咖啡或者热茶，不过要是能喝上一杯热柠檬水，唤醒自己的消化系统，就再好不过了。每天早上，用一杯柠檬水开始新的一天，其实是阿育吠陀（梵文，意为“长生之术”，印度传统医学，译者注）中的一项传统习惯。这样可以激活消化系统，清除一晚上沉积在系统内的各种毒素。就柠檬本身而言，它富含维生素C和抗氧化物质，有助于免疫系统的运作，还可以清理血液中的毒素，淡斑祛印保持皮肤亮洁。

Grab Some Green Juices

喝绿叶蔬菜汁

Green juices can cleanse the digestive system, helping to move toxins out of the system while providing an extra dose of readily available nutrients. When we juice green vegetables, we liberate the chlorophyll and our bodies immediately absorb it. Chlorophyll is an amazing detoxifier and is an incredible healer of inner inflammation.

Move!

动起来！

During this hectic holiday season, we hardly had time to keep up with our workout routine. Now is the time to get back on the right track by incorporating at least a little movement every day. Exercise is so beneficial to health: it is linked with improved blood circulation, mood and immunity, better sleep and less stress. Any exercise that you sweat with will also help to detoxify your body. Find something that you really enjoy such as running, dancing, yoga, even a 15 minute walk in nature is great! It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it consistently. 节假日总避免不了要探亲访友，面对各种应酬，原先有规律的运动计划也因此会被打乱。假期归假期，节后就应该恢复锻炼了，每天都应该运动一下，哪怕只是一小会儿。生命在于运动，适量的运动既可以促进血液循环，缓解负面情绪，提高免疫力，还能改善睡眠，减轻压力。不管什么运动，只要能出汗，就能帮你排出体内毒素。找一项自己喜欢的运动，比如跑步、跳舞、瑜伽，甚至只是出去散散步，并坚持下去，假以时日，也一定会有效果。

If you are new to green juices, just start with one or 2 leaves of the green of your choice (spinach, kale, lettuce…) along with vegetables that are gentle on your system like celery, cucumber and fennel. You can even add a little apple to sweeten things up! 绿叶蔬菜汁有助于整个消化系统的净化，在把毒素排出体外的同时，还可以额外补充一些可直接吸收的营养素。当绿叶蔬菜被榨成汁以后，所含的叶绿素就会随之释放，人体便可以直接吸收。叶绿素是毒素清除高手，而且还能显著缓解体内的炎症。如果还没尝试过绿叶蔬菜汁的话，不妨先慢慢来，可以在榨芹菜、黄瓜、茴香（少量，用于调味）等自己习惯的蔬菜时，加上一两片绿色的蔬菜叶（菠菜、甘蓝和生菜叶等）。要是想增加一些甜味的话，还可以放几块苹果。

FOOD & NUTRITION

Spice It Up!

加点儿辣的！

Try to integrate into your daily diet ginger and turmeric, they both have amazing health benefits. Ginger: Because of its digestive qualities, ginger is a great remedy for overeating. Peel and slice a small piece of fresh ginger. Add water and brew it for 5 minutes, strain and sip the tea slowly. Turmeric: This powerful antioxidant is a traditional remedy for gastrointestinal disorders such as stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. It also protects the liver from the damaging effects of alcohol and other toxins. To take advantage of the multiple health benefits of turmeric, you can stir a sprinkle into all your dishes or simply add a bit into your morning water or smoothies. 在日常饮食中，可以搭配一些生姜或者姜黄，它们对健康非常有益。生姜：由于生姜在消化方面的独特功效，它可以增加饱腹感，避免过度饮食。将新鲜的生姜去除外皮，切一小片放于水中，泡五分钟以后，捞出姜片并小口将姜汤饮用完。姜黄：作为一种强效抗氧化物质，姜黄常被用于治疗各种胃肠道疾病，比如胃溃疡、肠易激综合症和便秘。此外，姜黄还有助于解酒解毒、保护肝脏、促进肝功能。为了能更好地发挥姜黄的药用价值，可以在每道菜中都撒上一点儿姜黄粉，嫌麻烦的话，也可以早上来一杯姜黄水或者在早餐饮品中加入一点儿姜黄粉。

Get A Good Night’s Sleep

Slow Down, Breath & Meditate

放慢呼吸，静心冥想

Strangely enough, we often come back exhausted from the holidays. Slowing down and taking a deep breath can do wonders for your mind and your body.

睡个好觉

Sleep can work wonders. Deep rest keeps your immune system strong. It seems also that people who get enough sleep may also make smarter choices about what foods to eat. Several studies recently found that not sleeping enough can disrupt your hormones, including those that regulate hunger: this research found that sleepdeprived people were more likely to crave high-calorie snacks and junk foods than when they were well-rested. So, try to get yourself to bed by 10pm and sleep at least 7 hours.

Try this: close your eyes and take 10 very slow breaths in and out whenever you are feeling anxious, tired or overwhelmed. Meditation will also help you feel more grounded, make better food choices and improve interactions with your family and friends. If you are new to meditation, find a quiet spot and start with 10 minutes, then slowly build your practice up.

小小睡眠有奇效。深度睡眠可以保持机体免疫系统稳定。足够的睡眠似乎可以让你做出更加合理的饮食选择。多项研究表明，睡眠不足会影响激素分泌，其中包括控制饥饿感的激素。根据研究结果：相比睡眠充足人群，睡眠缺乏人群更易摄入高热量零食和一些垃圾食品。因此，尽量别超过十点睡觉，至少保证7个小时的睡眠时间。

虽说假期里没有工作时的紧张和压力，但令人费解是，节后反而会更加疲惫。这时不妨放慢一下节奏，深吸几口气，既能放松心情，又可以消除疲惫的感觉。当你感到焦虑、疲惫或者压力无法承受时，可以试试下面这种方法：闭上眼睛，放慢节奏，深呼吸十次。此外，你也能通过冥想来缓解压力，让自己感觉更踏实，这样既有助于合理饮食，又能使你更好地与家人和朋友沟通。冥想需要循序渐进，可以找一个安静的地方，先从十分钟开始，然后逐步增加冥想时间。

EDUCATION

Experiential Education

Goes on the Road in China By Joseph Wood

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” - Confucius

he popularity of international education has been growing in China and there has been much talk about the strengths of both eastern and western teaching traditions to best prepare students for the road ahead. Experiential education has been part of that discussion and it is not news that teachers across international schools in China have been using “learning by doing” techniques in the classroom to great success. Now, international schools’ programs are taking experiential learning on the road to engage with the larger China

community in ways that also benefit students back on campus. There is convincing evidence that allowing students to acquire skill through challenges, hands-on activities, projects and scenarios can go a long way to improve retention and to deepen learning. A study conducted in Melbourne, Australia showed that the life effectiveness skills of the students were higher in those attending outdoor experiential programs and were increased even further if a second program was integrated in the their curriculum.

Through experiential learning, students exercise their judgment and can more easily remember information and realise why they should care about a given topic. For students who often see information as useless minutia, this approach has become a way to meaningfully engage and inspire them. One of the strengths of experiential learning is that its practices include a wide range of activities that can be applied to any subject. The keys

EDUCATION to strong experiential learning are: a well-structured activity, a flexible facilitator, and students’ understanding that they are in the driver’s seat of the program. Whether it be conducting water tests on a local water supply, or exploring the practice of oral history by interviewing senior residents, information attained from a student’s own experience can always give colour and context to a subject that seemed to lack significance. Taking experiential learning one step further, progressive schools have begun incorporating experiential learning into their “Experience China” travel weeks or travel programs organised by grade level. The benefits of the marriage between standard experiential learning

methods and dynamic cultural opportunities around the country are creating new kinds of mobile classroom environments that increase cultural competency, integrate curriculum, and provide links to local communities. Students can now use their presence in a new community to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to a brand new environment. In addition, teachers and students can have a positive impact on the regions they travel to by applying their knowledge base. The diversity of China’s different regions presents every student with the chance to experiment, make productive mistakes, and explore the many discrepancies between their textbook and the world around them. The convention among international schools in China typically allows for

one week of time for “Explore China” trips. While the value of these programs isn’t disputed, there is much discussion at the moment on how to optimise these existing short-term programs. One popular strategy being employed takes pre-trip information and preparation and combines it with post-trip reflections and project outcomes to extend the length of the experience beyond the trip days themselves. In effect, a 5-day program can transform into a 3-week integrated academic experience. This approach allows students to hone their focus on different aspects of the program, to proactively apply acquired knowledge, to deepen links with the locals they visit, and to create continuity between their activities inside and outside of the classroom. Students enjoy themselves, learn more, and feel like there is an objective achieved on their trip. To implement such programs requires strong communication and coordination between administrators, teachers, local partners, and students. China’s rapidly changing environment presents unique chal-

EDUCATION lenges for coordinating programs months in advance. It can also be a challenge garnering support from all stakeholders to push the program forward. That being said, successful programs have seen strong support from administrators, passion from lead teachers, high participation from students, and reliable expertise from onthe-ground organisations. It has also led to a budding industry of western-run educational travel providers for that purpose. Instead of viewing student travel as an add-on, key schools have made the conscious pivot toward making mobile classrooms and outdoor education a key component of their educational strategy. This has resulted in trips and class work that reinforce one another yearround. Course objectives have also become interdisciplinary and allow

students to design their own programs that coincide with their own passions. With this shift within international education around China there have been a great number of benefits for institutions that have set their sights on integrated academic programs. It is a shift that has also presented new challenges that require an energetic and innovative network of contributors coordinating their time and talents to develop a concept from its initial stages into a successful program with high potential and deep impact.

Having a Baby in China 在华产子不再难 By Jeremy Carman

avingababyinchina. com was born of out of a need for information. We knew firsthand about the lack of information regarding foreigners having babies in China when we became pregnant with our first child in southern China. We tried searching online for some help, but were surprised to find that there was very little useful information available. We had questions like: Which hospitals are good? Which hospitals have English assistance? What about insurance? Can my spouse join me in the delivery room? We asked around in some foreigner

forums for help and, though we didn’t receive much help from the respondents, we did find many people asking the same questions. Many even contacted us directly hoping that we could offer some help. After receiving a large amount of requests for help, we decided to make our advice public by created havingababyinchina.com. Almost five years later we have seen hundreds of women and couples from all over the world helped through our website. We have an incredible list of English to Chinese pregnancy vocabulary, a growing list of hospital recommendations,

a forum where people can learn from other people’s experiences and more. Best of all, most of the information available on the site has been sourced by other foreigners who have experienced or are experiencing the joys and challenges of having a baby in China. As we move into 2014 we are excited to continue developing the site with more great content. We would love any contributions and feedback. Please feel free to contact us on our forum or by email at jeremy@havingababyinchina.com.

avingababyinchina.com网站的诞生，是基于现在相关信息的匮乏。记得在第一个孩子出生之前，我们脑海里有很多问题想找到答案：哪些医院口碑好？哪些医院可以提供英文协助？丈夫可不可以进产房等等，但遗憾的是，我们在网站上几乎找不到任何实用的信息。我们在外国人论坛上到处打听有关在华生子方面的信息，不过有用的回复寥寥无几，反倒发现很多和我们有相同疑问的夫妇，他们中有些甚至直接联系到了我们，希望通过我们了解更多相关信息。我们陆续收到了大量有关在华生子问题的求助，于是，我跟妻子决定创办一个网站，同大家分享我们的经验和建议。之后五年，来自世界各地的上百位外籍妈妈，在这个网站的帮助下，顺利在中国产子。我们的网站很详尽地列出了中英双语的孕产词汇，并不断更新推荐孕产医院列表，还开设了论坛，方便大家交流经验。不得不提的是，网站上大部分信息都来自亲身经历过在华产子的夫妇，或者仍在为宝宝降临四处打探的准父母们。 2014年钟声已经敲响，在新的一年里，我们希望能把网站办得越来越好，为更多的人提供帮助。如果您有任何经验、建议和反馈愿意分享的话，欢迎在网站的论坛留言，也可以发送电邮至jeremy@havingababyinchina.com 。

Bio 网站创办者简介

eremy & Jacquelyn lived in China from 2004-2011. They have lived in the cities of Dongguan, Beijing and Qingdao. In March of 2006 their first daughter was born at the famous Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Throughout the pregnancy they found little information available to foreigners on having a baby in China. In 2009 they became pregnant with their second child, and although living in Qingdao by that time, they decided to head back to Beijing for the birth. This time the delivery was at American-Sino Ob/ Gyn Hospital. It was during this pregnancy that they still saw the need for information concerning having a baby in China, that’s when havingababyinchina.com was created. Their third child was born in 2011 and Jeremy & Jacquelyn had a great experience in Qingdao delivering their baby at Qingdao Women and Infant’s Hospital. Each experience has been completely different, and each one has brought a wealth of knowledge that Jeremy &

Jacquelyn hope to share with everyone through havingababyinchina.com. In late 2011, Jeremy & Jacquelyn moved back to the US. They are still continually updating the website and looking for more information that could be useful for foreigners living in China. 该网站由Jeremy和Jacquelyn夫妇共同创办，2004到2011年间，他们曾在东莞、北京和青岛三个城市居住过。他们的大女儿于2006年3月在著名的北京协和医院出生。怀孕期间，他们几乎找不到任何有关外国人在华产子的信息。 2009年，第二个孩子即将出生，当时他们住在青岛，但还是决定回北京分娩，孩子于北京美华妇产医院出生。虽然已是第二次在华生子，但相关信息仍十分有限，夫妻二人便创办havingababyinchina.com网站。第三个孩子于2011年在青岛妇婴医院出生，虽然三次经历有所不同，但都让这对夫妇获得了不少值得同大家分享的经验和知识。 2011年末，Jeremy和Jacquelyn搬回了美国。尽管身在美国，但他们仍不遗余力地为网站努力着，希望能为旅居中国的外国人提供更多有用的信息。

Special Education In Qingdao

特殊教育在青岛

very Western teacher in Qingdao has undoubtedly had these, or similar, questions. Does this student have a language-based learning disability? Depression? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? An autism spectrum disorder? Dyslexia? And how do they go about answering these questions? China, not unlike the United States or other Western countries thirty or forty years ago, is seemingly in a state of denial with regard to mental illness. Denial, of course, doesn’t make

things go away, and affluence does not render immunity. So, I tried to find out what options are available to residents of Qingdao and how local international schools treated these questions. First of all, my timing was less than ideal: I sent (or tried to send) an email to the leaders of eight Qingdao international schools. Unfortunately, it was sent after winter break had started and directors were, presumably, resting or attending one of the recruiting fairs. Ron Brace,

Head Principal of International School of Qingdao (ISQ) did respond to my questions, however. After asking him if ISQ accepts (or has ever accepted) students who have been diagnosed with a learning disability, emotional/ behavioral disorder, or who have other mental health issues, Mr. Brace answered, “At this point in time, we do accept some students that have some learning needs. We have been working on developing a clear strategy to define what

PARENTING students we can currently and effectively service with the current staff and what staff needs still remain.” Qingdao No. 1 International School (QISS) states their admission policy on their website as, “QISS is not able to provide services to students with learning difficulties, emotional disturbance or a physical handicap that prevents them from independently participating in most academic and non-academic subjects. Therefore, these types of students will not be admitted to QISS.” Yew Chung International School of Qingdao’s (YCIS) website, on

I then asked Mr. Brace what kind of guidance ISQ could offer a parent seeking guidance on their child’s psychological well-being or learning issues. He responded, “When a parent approaches a staff member about such well-being or learning issues, we have in place a procedure that activates a team of people to look into the request. In some cases, the response of the team is a referral to a licensed psychologist.” But what approach would a school take in addressing a situation

Mr. Brace (ISQ) answered, “At this point in time, we do accept some students that have some learning needs.”

Brace先生给我的回复是：“就现阶段而言，我校可以接收有学习障碍的学生。” the other hand, does not address this subject. Qingdao Amerasia International School’s (QAIS) website says, “Students enrolling at QAIS for the first time will be evaluated for 30 days so that the school can determine what

where a teacher or school counselor suspects that a student may be dealing with an issue that would require professional assessment from a licensed individual, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist? ISQ’s Mr. Brace proffered, “the first thing that’s done in that situation is a team consisting of staff members meets to gain clarity of the issue at hand. In some cases, we have called in our special education consultant from Beijing.”

support the student requires. If the school finds that it cannot meet the student’s learning requirements, the school may retract the student’s enrollment and offer a pro-rated refund of tuition.”

considered creating a position at ISQ for someone able to assess students’ mental health issues and/or cognitive functioning, Head Principal Brace said, “At this time, we have not created a position for a school psychologist. We have been working on developing a position for an in-house special education specialist.” Adding later that ISQ would be “willing to explore” hiring a licensed school psychologist that would work in tandem with all of the international schools in Qingdao.

PARENTING Hospital by the nurse who had provided the translation. She was also willing to help me, but as they cater to mainly Chinese patients, an interpreter was needed. While an appointment was available after visiting their website, an interpreter would not be available at the hospital at that time. Needless to say, I was unable to consult the hospital’s psychiatrist before my deadline.

So, some international schools in Qingdao have at least given the issue some thought, and at least one may be willing to pursue solutions further. But what do parents do in the meantime? Without receiving any definitive answers from colleagues or other expats in the field, I decided to consult a physician at the International Clinic of Qingdao Municipal Hospital. Dr. Zheng suggested that I speak with either a neurologist or psychologist, and promised to set up an appointment with me. She seemed confident that the hospital would be able to serve these needs. The following day I returned to the hospital and met with a psychiatrist and discussed – through an interpreter – her ability to diagnose conditions that parents had concerns about. Unfortunately, it came down to no. Although the hospital used the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (edition V has now been published), she did not have the diagnostic materials necessary. I wasn’t quite sure how to interpret her responses, but saw that I was heading down a dead-end. Okay, where to turn? I was referred to Women in Qingdao City Children’s

In July of 2013, Lotus Yuen published an article “Unable to Cope: China’s Inadequate Care of the Mentally Ill” in The Atlantic, stating, “Statistics released by China’s National Center for Mental Health showed that as of the year of 2009, 100 million Chinese suffered from mental health problems . . .” Yuen’s message is clear: China currently lacks the ability to serve the needs of those with mental health issues. This affects international schools, of course, by limiting the ability of both Chinese and expat parents to find assistance for their children who they believe have either mental health issues or learning disabilities. And yet clearly such students attend these schools. A research paper by Stuart Woodcock and Han Jiang of the University of Wollongong and published in the International Journal of Special Education in 2012, states, “Students with learning disabilities (LD) …form a large significant group in China. Research has shown that the prevalence rate in young people, up to the age of 18, ranges from a low of 4.86% to a high of 31.62%. A major reason for such a wide discrepancy is the plethora of descriptions and diagnostic criterion, none of which have been

widely adopted across China.” Tuition costs at the various international schools in Qingdao range from 100,000-200,000 RMB (about $16,500 to $33,000). Given the number of international schools in Qingdao, the tuition rates paid by parents or their employers, and the prevalence of mental health and learning disabilities which can be found in the student population, it would seem that a solution both could and should be found. So, are these parents asking what they can do to help their children succeed? Are they asking the schools what assistance, advice or referrals they can offer? Are they seeking assessments and/or treatment in their home countries? Anecdotal evidence tells me that there are students who are facing difficulties that are not being adequately addressed. From a purely pragmatic perspective (wasted money, time and lives), we should be doing a better job helping children succeed. I hope that in the future both the international school community as a whole in Qingdao, and schools in China, can more closely examine and address these issues, for the sake of the children in our care and for society as a whole. UPDATE: It should be noted that the information on the QAIS website has recently been updated since this article was researched. According to the school’s website: “Students enrolling at QAIS for the first time will be evaluated for 60 days so that the school can determine what support the student requires. If a student shows a cognitive or emotional need, the school will discuss counseling and academic assistance options with the family. If any condition prevents the child from participating in school life, QAIS will support the family in withdrawing from the school to secure adequate care for the child.”

PARENTING 相信在岛城的国际老师们肯定都考虑过以下这些问题：学生是否有语言障碍？有没有儿童抑郁症或自闭症之类的？注意力是否集中？有没有读写障碍？学生要是有这些障碍的话，应该怎么办？不同于三四十年前的欧美国家，在中国，像这样大脑发育有缺陷的学生，似乎大部分学校都会选择拒收。当然，拒收并不能解决根本问题。而且这也不是家长愿意花钱就可以解决的问题。

因此，带着以上的疑问，我联系了岛城本地的一些国际学校，了解一下他们对于这类孩子的接收态度。寒假过后，我给这里的八所国际学校发送了邮件，或许是因为时机不对（领导们此时应该都忙着招生之类的事宜吧），只有青岛MTI国际学校的校长Ron Brace先生回复了我的邮件。在邮件中，我问他们是否接收（或者曾经接受过）有学习能力、心理、行为方面障碍或者被诊断患有精神疾病的学生，Brace先生给我的回复是：“就现阶段而言，我校可以接收有学习障碍的学生。我们正在研究一套方案，用于学生的考量以及学校情况的评估，比如哪些学生在我们可接收的能力范围内，对于这类学生，学校还有哪些需要改进的地方之类的”。同时我也访问了一些学校的官网，其中，青岛第一国际学校的招生章程中写道：我校目前尚未具备能力接收有学习障碍、心理问题，或者因为身体残疾无法独立完成大多数课程或者参与课外活动的学生”。不过青岛耀中国际学校则没有这样的规定。青岛美亚国际学校的官网上这样写道：“学生在入学后，需要接受为期30天的评估，学校根据评估结果为学生制订最佳的学习方案，如果无法满足您孩子的学习需要，我校会退还相应的费用”。而后我继续问Brace先生：如果有家长因为孩子的心理问题或者学习障碍，向学校寻求一些指导建议的话，他们会如何回应？Brace校长回答道：“如果遇到这种情况，我校马上会有一支团队跟进，为家长提供帮助。团队会给家长提供一些经专业心理医生确认后的实用信息。” 当老师或者学校的咨询师发现，某个学生可能需要专业的心理评估（比如精神病专家或者心理医生），他们会如何应对？ Brace校长回答：“首先，我们会开团队会议，把手头上关于这方面的信息理清楚。之前有过类似情况，当时我们从北京调来了我校专门的特殊教育咨询师。”

当问及他是否考虑过设立一个专门的职位，让专员负责对学生的心理健康或者（以及）认知能力进行评估时，Brace校长回答：“目前，学校还没有这个打算。不过，我们正准备聘请一名特殊教育专家。”后来他进一步补充说他“乐意去尝试”联合岛城其他国际学校，共同聘请一名执照心理医生来为所有学校提供心理咨询。

年，总计有1亿中国人存在心理健康问题…”，明确地传达了这样一条信息：中国目前尚未具备关心和治疗心理精神缺陷者的能力。当然，这种现状对国际学校也会有一定的影响，由于政府资源紧缺，患有精神疾病或者学习障碍孩子的中外家长们，只能得到十分有限的援助，很显然，这类孩子最有可能就是去国际学校就学。

由此可见，至少有一部分国际学校考虑过特殊学生的问题，也至少有一所学校愿意做进一步尝试。而与此同时，家长们又应该做些什么？我咨询过一些同事还有该领域的外国朋友，他们都没能提供明确的建议。于是我咨询了青岛市立医院国际门诊部的郑大夫，她建议我咨询神经科专家或者心理医生，并答应帮我预约。她颇为肯定医院可以为这方面需求提供相关的服务。

2012年，澳洲卧龙岗大学教育学院的高级讲师Stuart Woodcock和韩江（音译）在《国际特殊教育》杂志上共同发表了一篇研究报告，文中提到：中国患有学习障碍疾病的儿童数量庞大…18岁以下不同年龄段儿童的患病率最低为4.86%，最高为 31.62%。由于这类疾病的病情描述和诊断标准尚未在中国确立起来，因此造成了如此悬殊的差异。”

第二天，我如期见到了一位精神病医生。在翻译的帮助下，我问她是否有能力帮助家长们分一下忧，给那些有精神或心理缺陷的孩子作诊断。很遗憾的是，她的答案是“否”。虽然医院有《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第四版》（第五版已出版）作为参考，但她并没有可用于这类诊断的材料和工具。其实我不太明白她的意思，不过市立医院这条路肯定是行不通了。

目前，青岛的国际学校收费从10万到 20万元不等。综合考虑国际学校的数量、学校收支情况、心理咨询费用、患病学生数量等各方面因素，要找到一套合适的解决方案应该没问题的。

既然这样，那下一步应该怎么办？当时帮我作翻译的护士，建议我去青岛市妇女儿童医院试试。考虑到我是外国人，她还热心地帮我打电话去那家医院挂号，大概过了 45分钟，她告诉我说，自己手头上的号没法用，不过还会找别的号再试试。后来得到的答复是，必须通过医院官网挂号才行。好吧，那我自己去网上挂吧。然而那天晚些时候，这位护士发给我了一条短信，大概意思是，虽然没能帮我挂上号，但联系到了一位精神病医生，周二早上有一小段时间供我咨询，不过医院提供不了翻译。最终我还是没能咨询到这位医生。去年7月，阮洋（自由记者）在《大西洋月刊》发表了《无法应对：中国精神病人现状》一文，文中提到：“据中国国家精神卫生中心发布的数据显示，截至2009

虽然家长们为孩子未来不懈努力着，比如向学校寻求帮助和建议，或者回自己国家接受评估和（或者）治疗等，但事实告诉我，公众对特殊儿童的关注度，还远远不够。从现实的角度出发（金钱、时间和生命），我们现在为特殊儿童所做的还仅仅是九牛一毛。希望青岛所有的国际学校能够联合起来，还有中国的学校，一起为特殊儿童的明天和社会的未来，献出自己的一份力。

更新：作者撰写此文后，青岛美亚国际学校更改了关于收纳特殊儿童的规定，并在其官方网站上进行了更新：“学生入学后，需要接受为期60天的评估，学校根据评估结果为学生制订最佳学习方案。如发现该学生有某种认知或情感需要，学校会与家长一同讨论，寻找最佳的心理及学业辅导对策。如学生实在无法适应学校生活，我们会辅助家长将孩子送回家，以确保其能得到充分照顾”。

Children Do Not Misbehave

别说孩子“调皮捣蛋”

By Laura Roark

y child does not misbehave. She is not a robot, she does lots of things that drive me crazy, but she does not “misbehave.”

a romantic dinner with our husbands and say, “Thanks for being such a good boy tonight and finishing all your dinner!”

Can you imagine saying that your wife is misbehaving? Or that your friend misbehaved during dinner? That your team members are misbehaving at work? Most of us would not think of using the same vocabulary with anyone other than children. Just the same as we wouldn’t get home from

We have all done this with our children though. Our parents did it with us and theirs with them. I can’t imagine anyone could go back in time and figure out when all this misbehaviour business started. A more accurate way to look at it is to say that your child’s behaviour

is causing you a problem; it has a negative consequence for you. Obviously we cannot be accepting of all of our child’s behaviours, just as we are not accepting of all of our friends’ or spouse’s behaviours. According to Thomas Gordon, and his Parent Effectiveness Training method, family life would be much more harmonious if we could accept two basic principals about children’s behaviour.

PARENTING

我

的女儿行为良好。虽然她不像机器人那样听话，也常常做一大堆让我抓狂的事，但从来不调皮捣蛋。

准则二没有调皮捣蛋的孩子。他们的行为仅仅是为了满足自己的重要需求而已。

设想一下，你是否会用“调皮捣蛋” 这个词来形容你的妻子、朋友或者同事？对于大多数人来说，答案是否定的，这个词一般只会用在孩子身上。就好像你和丈夫共进晚餐归来时，你绝对不会说：“今天真乖，把饭都吃完了！”

当婴儿饿得哇哇大哭时，我们不会认为这是调皮捣蛋，孩子只是通过哭这种最本能的方式，来告诉我们他饿了。随着孩子逐渐长大，需求也不再是喝几口奶那么简单，当他们的行为给大人带来麻烦时，我们往往会把它看成调皮捣蛋，孩子也会因此得到相应的惩罚。可惜的是，家长们大多都习惯了这种做法，而不是教孩子用更能让你接受的方法，来满足他们自己的需求。

虽说如此，我们或多或少都这样说过自己的孩子，我们的父母肯定也曾这样教育过我们，祖祖辈辈似乎都延续着这种说法，但却无从考究这个词的来源。我们大可换一种说法，这其实是一种给我们带来麻烦，会造成一些负面结果的行为。当然，并不是要你去接受孩子的所有行为，他们和大人们一样，都会有一些让你无法接受的行为。根据心理学家及资深亲职工作者高登博士（Thomas Gordon）及其《家长效能培训手册》，如果我们能接受以下两条有关孩子行为的准则，家庭生活会就变得更加和谐和融洽。准则一和成人一样，孩子们也有他们认为十分重要的需求，他们会不懈努力来完成自己的目标。

Principle 1: Like adults, children have basic needs that are important to them, and they continually strive to meet their needs by doing something.

当我们看待孩子们为满足自己需求而做出的种种行为时，不妨进一步想一下，如何引导孩子换一种既可以让你接受，又能满足他们自己基本需求的行为。打个比方说，许多孩子都喜欢在墙上涂涂画画，仿佛自己是达芬奇或者毕加索。而对于我认识的绝大多数父母而言，这种行为是无法接受的，他们不是责罚就是打骂。然而，这种教育方式，除了会扼杀孩子们的艺术想象力，还剥夺了他们自由创作的权利，根本起不到作用，孩子们该画还是照样画。也许给孩子一支可用于玻璃的记号笔，一面大玻璃或者镜子，效果会更好。

looking at his or her need and trying to change that behaviour to a more acceptable one to us.

Principle 2: Children don’t misbehave. Their behaviours are simply actions they have chosen to meet these important needs.

When we look at behavior as something children do that is meeting a need we can start down the road of finding a behaviour that is more acceptable to us as parents, but still meets the fundamental need of the child.

When an infant is hungry and cries we do not say that the child is misbehaving. The child is doing something completely natural to communicate to us their need. As children grow their needs become infinitely more complicated and we are much more likely to see their behaviour as “bad” when it is causing a problem for us. We are much more likely to begin punishing a child for a behaviour instead of

For example, many young children at some point decide that the living room wall is going to be the canvas for their latest masterpiece. A behaviour unacceptable to most people I know. Punishing that child or calling him or her bad may or may not stop the behaviour, but it will not meet the need of that child for artistic expression or freedom of movement. Giving the child window markers and a large window or mirror might.

青春期的孩子常常会有些叛逆，他们更愿意与自认为能够理解他们的朋友沟通，对于父母的话则是左耳进右耳出。这时候，千万不能上火，对孩子下通牒，因为这会让孩子产生怨恨和抵触情绪。不妨找个合适的机会，听听孩子的心声，并和他们一起探讨一下应该如何平衡亲情和友情。学会用有效的方式和孩子沟通，并在考虑到自己需求的同时，帮助孩子满足他们的需求，这对于您和您的孩子来说，都是一堂意义十足的必修课。这将为今后建立更广泛，更深层次的人际关系打好基础。

A teenager who “doesn’t listen to you” because they are always on their phone may need to communicate with someone who they feel understands them. Getting angry and giving ultimatums can cause resentment and rebellion. Setting guidelines together with your adolescent on appropriate times to use technology and consulting with them on how to nurture family relationships and outside friendships at the same time could be another option. Learning to communicate effectively with our children and help them meet their own needs while respecting our needs is a powerful lesson for both the children we love so much and ourselves. It can set the stage for more meaningful relationships with everyone in our lives.

TRAVEL

Escape the City 暂离都市 Tom Williams tells us about an easy way to get out of the city for a weekend to experience some of the best natural beauty China has to offer all without getting on a plane or train. 青岛MTI国际学校的外籍老师Tom给大家推荐一处可以享受周末，又无需周居劳顿、长途跋涉的城外桃源。

ooking for a relatively easy way to get out of the city for a weekend and experience some of the best natural beauty China has to offer without getting on a plane or train? Have you heard of Liu Qing He? When was the last time you spent a weekend just taking in the view of the Lao mountains while walking on a relatively secluded beach collecting shells? Want an easy place to get away for a weekend?

Then waste no more weekends battling the crowds at Tai Dong or

the shopping malls and get yourself on the 104, 301 or 304 buses and head east. It’s easy, even for a foreigner, to find Liu Qing He. The ride takes about a half hour from Laoshan district. On the way you will pass through Shazikou, an interesting little fishing village in and of itself. You can always get off the bus and check out the wooden fishing boats, see if you can identify anything that is in the daily catch, or you can wander along the newly constructed walkway along the bay.

While there you can try to spot a nuclear submarine coming in for repairs at the local naval base. Back on the bus, you know you’ve arrived at your destination, Liu Qing He (flowing clear river), when the bus stops in a large parking lot. Everyone gets off and the driver turns around and yells something out to you while waving his arms. Consider this your welcome! When you get off the bus you will be right at the beach, which is a beautiful sandy beach that is over a kilometer long. It is a great place to

TRAVEL

visit, even in the dead of winter on a nice day, as there are great views of the sea, the mountains and plenty of shells for the kids to collect along the beach. If you want to make a weekend out of the trip there are numerous places that you can stay within walking distance of where you get off the bus. Sitting on the hilltop just next to where you exit the bus, you will see a white three-story building which is a three star hotel that has a lot of different room options, some with spectacular views of the beach and the mountains. If your level of Mandarin and sense of adventure is a bit higher, and your budget lower, you can check out the many nongjia or “farm-stay” homes which are found on a street that overlooks the beach as well as along the main road. Several restaurants can also be found along the main road through town. If you

want to explore the mountains, just start walking up one of the roads that lead from the beach. You will quickly be rewarded with a breathtaking view looking back toward the sea. If you want to venture further into Laoshan park, you can get back on the bus and head toward Qingdao about five minutes and get off at the ticket office for the park. From there, you can purchase day passes and bus tickets that will take you to any one of the 5 different sections of Laoshan park. A day pass plus bus ticket costs about RMB100-120. Despite the relatively high ticket price the park is still worth a visit. The park is enormous and one day is barely enough time to visit only one of the sections. There, now you have no excuse why you shouldn’t get out of the city and make a memory this weekend.

想

寻找一处可以享受周末，又无需周居劳顿、长途跋涉的城外桃源吗？你听说过流清河吗？上一次你在海边悠闲漫步、俯首拾贝，乐享崂山风光，应该是很长时间以前的事了吧？那就别在车水马龙的台东浪费时间了，坐上104、301或304路公交车，来流清河走走吧。即便是外国人也很容易能找到这里。从崂山区出发，大约半小时即可到达。沿途你会经过沙子口，一个很有意思的小渔村。你可以随时下车，去看看那些饱经风浪的木质渔船，或者沿着新建的海边栈道慢溜几步。在沙子口的时候，不妨去那里的海军基地看看那艘返港接受修护的核潜艇。再回到公交车上，你会发现终点就在眼前：流清河。到了一个偌大的停车场，司机把公交车停下，大家一一下车，司机调整方向，向大家挥手吆喝两下，而后绝尘而去。欢迎来到流清河！海滩欣然出现在眼前。这是一片超过一公里长的美丽沙滩。即便是深冬，你依然可以为这里秀美的景致而陶醉：巍峨的崂山、一望无际的大海，孩子们还可以在海滩上捡拾贝壳。想在这里过周末的话，下车的停车场附近就有很多地方可供选择。比如下车一眼就能看到的那栋白色的三层建筑：三星级酒店，房间选择颇多，有些房间还能看到无敌海景。如果你的中文还不错，喜欢冒险，预算又较为有限的话，可以选择“农家乐”，主干道边上就有几家。餐馆也能在这里找到。想到山上探险的话，沿着其中一条山路往上爬就是了。不出十分钟，你就能体会到何为“面向大海，春暖花开”的心境了（虽然春天还在路上，花蕾也尚在发育之中）。要是想再往崂山深处去的话，可以坐上往青岛市区方向的车，大约5 分钟后在景区售票处下车。在那里，你可以购买景区门票和车票，这张车票可带你去往崂山五处主要景区的任何一处。门票加车票价格在100-120 元之间。虽然票价稍有些贵，不过这里确实值得一游。崂山横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同。一天下来，也只能是“朦胧中以此为崂山真面目” 了。现在就行动吧，暂离都市，给自己一个与大自然相处的美好周末！
