Time for Bed! 洗澡澡，睡觉觉

Laura Roark is here to tell you why sleep is such an important factor in the whole family’s happiness and success. Laura Roark在此给大家分享下为什么睡眠对您家人的幸福和成功如此重要。

h, it’s been a long day reaping the rewards of raising the future hope of our beautiful planet. And it’s finally time to get the darling little angels to bed. But today’s demanding world is chipping away at more and more of our sleep and at what cost? Why do we need sleep? Humans spend about one third of their life sleeping but this time is far from unproductive. It plays a direct role in how energetic and successful the other two thirds will be. During deep sleep hormones regulating growth and appetite are released setting the stage for healthy growth and weight. During REM sleep the brain is busy consolidating memories and making important connections for healthy brain development.

In 2009, American and French researchers determined that brain events called “sharp wave ripples” are responsible for consolidating memory. The ripples also transfer learned information from the hippocampus to the neo-cortex of the brain, where long-term memories are stored. Sharp wave ripples occur mostly during the deepest levels of sleep. What happens if we don’t get enough sleep? Children who do not get enough sleep can have impaired attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning and problem solving. Although research is far from complete on what happens to the body during sleep, what we do know is what happens to the body if we do

not sleep. The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska, the Challenger space shuttle disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear accident have all been attributed to human errors in which sleep-deprivation played a role. Children who do not get enough sleep can have impaired attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning and problem solving. Their emotions can become erratic and you might notice they seem overexcited and hyperactive. Prolonged sleep deprivation can also lead to serious health problems and may contribute to depression. So how much sleep do we need? From birth to adulthood the amount of sleep our body needs changes significantly. Newborns sleep most of

Getting to bed Getting your child to bed can be much easier if a consistent bedtime routine is established in a relaxing sleep environment. It’s important to put younger children to bed tired but not asleep as this allows them to learn how to “self-sooth”. When children learn to get to sleep on their own it helps them to easily fall back into each consecutive sleep cycle during the night, lessening the dependency on a care-giver to be there and setting the stage for lifelong healthy sleep habits. Dimming the lights and turning off any form of media is a good way to start. Right before sleep the body’s temperature naturally drops, creating a drowsy state. Taking a warm bath can help this process as when the body cools off after the bath people naturally feel sleepy. And of course ending a busy day with calming bedtime story never hurts. Children associate different objects, people and activities with going to sleep. These are called sleep associations. Sleep association can have a big impact on the ability of babies, children and adults to drift off to sleep. It’s important to talk to children about the importance of sleep, refrain from using sleep as a form of punishment and to role model good sleeping habits. As we head back to school it’s essential to remember that sleep plays an important role in childhood development. Children sleep better; therefore learn better, with relaxing, positive and consistent sleep routines.

Children who do not get enough sleep can have impaired attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning and problem solving.

孩子如果睡眠不足，就会出现注意力不集中，警惕性下降、容易走神、逻辑思维混乱，解决问题能力差等状况。

辛

勤养育这些未来的花骨朵儿整整一天了，现在终于可以把这些可爱的小天使们送上床，休息一下了。但是，当今社会节奏越来越快，人们的睡眠也越来越少。那么，到底睡眠不足会哪些危害呢？

为什么我们需要睡眠？人的一生，三分之一的时间都在睡觉，但并不代表这些时间毫无用处。这三分之一的睡觉时间正是人们工作生活的力量源泉。人们在深度睡眠时，身体会释放出一种调节生长和食欲的激素，能够调节体重，促进人的健康成长。在浅层睡眠（异相睡眠或快波睡眠）时，大脑正忙于巩固记忆，协调各部位关系，帮助大脑健康发展。 2009年，美国和法国研究人员发现，一种叫做“尖波涟漪”的大脑活动负责巩固记忆。涟漪将学到的知识从海马体传送到大脑皮层，人的长期记忆便储存在那里。尖波涟漪大多发生在人们熟睡的时候。

要是没睡够会怎么样？尽管科学家们还没有完全研究出身体在睡觉时到底发生了怎样的变化。但是，我们都知道，要是不睡觉的话，身体会怎样。1989年的阿拉斯加湾石油泄漏事件，挑战者号宇宙飞船事件，以及切尔诺贝利核事故都是活生生的例子，说明了人们如果不睡觉，身体就会出状况。孩子如果睡眠不足，就会出现注意力不集中，警惕性下降、容易走神、逻辑思维混

乱，解决问题能力差等状况。而且，他们的情绪也会变得很不稳定，显得过度兴奋和活跃。如果长期缺乏睡眠，孩子身体素质会下降，容易生病。情况严重的话，还有可能引发抑郁症。

那我们需要多少睡眠呢？从小到大，人体所需的睡眠变化很大。新生儿大部分的时间都在睡觉，而成人只需要每天睡7个小时左右就可以了。 • 新生儿每天要睡大概16至20个小时，每次睡4到5个小时。 • 3至11个月的婴儿，晚上要睡9到12个小时，白天睡1-4次，每次时间从30分钟到2 小时不等。 • 1至2岁的小孩儿，每天要睡12至14个小时。 • 3至5岁的幼儿园小朋友，每晚保证11到13 个小时睡眠，中午通常还要午休会儿。4至 5岁的小朋友，就不太需要午休。 • 2至12岁的儿童，尽管他们这个时候都不想睡觉，想看看电视或者干点别的，但每晚仍需10到11个小时的睡眠。

上床睡觉如果孩子养成了按时上床睡觉的习惯的话，在一个让他放松的睡眠环境下哄他睡觉还是很容易的。对于小孩来说，在他有点累但还没入睡的时候，把他放上床，是很重要的，因为这能够让他们学会“哄自己睡觉”。让孩子学会独立入睡，有助于他们在夜晚养成良好的睡眠习惯，也能相对减轻父母的照看负担。不仅如此，良好的睡眠习惯对孩子的一生都大有益处。一般情况下，在孩子入睡前的15分钟到1小时，开始让他们从繁忙的一天中安静下来，放松地进入睡眠状态是最好的。你可以把灯光调暗，把电视机等音响设备关掉，营造一个安静的环境。睡觉之前，人们的体温会下降，产生一种昏昏欲睡的感觉。洗个热水澡能帮助人们进入睡眠状态，因为洗完澡后人的身体会变凉，自然也就更容易产生困意。当然，经过了一天的忙碌，给孩子读故事书舒缓一下心情也不失为一种好的助眠方式。孩子有的喜欢抱着东西入睡，有的喜欢在父母的陪同下入睡，还有些喜欢睡前做些事情，这些都可以称为睡眠依赖。这些睡眠依赖对婴儿、儿童和成人入睡都会产生影响。让孩子知道睡眠的重要性尤为重要，不要把睡觉当成一种惩罚，尽量培养他们养成良好的睡眠习惯。正是返校的时节，大家一定要谨记，睡觉对于孩子的成长至关重要。只有睡得好，才能学得好。在轻松愉悦的环境下养成良好的睡眠习惯对孩子的学习生活大有裨益。

Take time out for the kids

Moving takes a lot of work. I worked for months to sort, pack, sell, and store our belongings. Even so the last two weeks were crazy. My daughter kept asking me, “when will you not be so busy, Mommy? I want you to play with me.” We planned one night at a hotel and took the time to focus completely on our kids. I had to be away from the house so I couldn't keep sneaking off to pack some more! It was hard to take the time off, but worth it to show them they still come first.

I was surprised by how I hadn't thought this through before moving, and was even more interested to see how it specifically manifested in my kids. My four year old daughter was overwhelmed by shopping. She wanted to buy everything, every time we went to the store. My two year old son asked repeatedly to return to “Matthew's home”. Read up on what common re-entry shock symptoms are and think about how they might apply to your children. A good place to start is The Culture Blend, a website by Jerry Jones.

A few weeks after we returned to our home country and had settled into living with my in-laws, we decided it might be good for us to get away for a couple days without the kids. I was nervous about it, but needed the break. Two hours before we planned to leave, my son went into meltdown. Since there was no fever or other symptoms, we decided to continue our plans and call to check on him a few hours later. He was fine. Looking back I definitely wouldn't go somewhere they couldn't reach us if there was a problem, but since we were staying nearby I'm glad we went. The two days of break were wonderful.

Transition is not a straight line. The stages may surprise you in their timing. My daughter had seemingly transitioned so easily, I was startled when 2 months after moving I held her sobbing for all she had left behind. After a few days she had returned to her usual sunny self, but it was a clue to me that there was more going on inside them than I realized. I couldn't expect her to transition at the same speed or in the same way that I did, but I could be their security through it all.

They go through reentry shock too. Look for how it might manifest differently in your kids than you may expect

Be sensitive to their needs but not controlled by them

Kids are resilient and adaptable, but unpredictable

抽出时间多陪陪孩子

搬家是件耗费精力的事情。我提前几个月就开始把所有东西归类、打包、变卖和存储。即便这样最后两周仍然显得十分紧张。我的女儿不停地问我，“妈妈，你要忙到什么时候啊？我要你陪我玩。”为此我和丈夫单独拿出一个晚上的时间去酒店过，这样就可以撇开琐事，完完全全地陪陪我们的孩子了。之所以这样做是因为只要我在家里，会忍不住抽空就去收拾行李。虽然时间很紧张，但是抽出时间陪陪孩子，可以让他们知道自己在父母心目中的地位，这样一来，所有的付出都是值得的。

孩子们也会出现“归国冲击”。要密切关注他们的一举一动，孩子们对此的反应可能会和你原本认为的十分不同直到现在我还纳闷，当初遣返之前搬家的时候我为什么没有考虑到这个问题。我很想看看“归国冲击”在我的孩子身上是如何体现的。当时，我四岁大的女儿突然成了“购物狂”。每次去商店，她都想要把所有东西都买回家。而我两岁的儿子则整天嚷嚷着要去逛商场。仔细研读一下“归国冲击”的一般反应，然后想想这些反应会以什么样的方式体现在孩子身上。对于初涉者来说，可以去Jerry Jones创办的Culture Blend网站上去看一看。

时刻关注孩子的需求，但不能被他们牵着鼻子走

回国后过了有几周的时间，我们已经渐渐融入到了婆家人的生活之中，就想着可以暂离孩子们几天享受一下二人世界了。诚然，我对此有点担心，但想来想去觉得的确该给自己放个假了。在我们离家的2小时之前，儿子表现的异常焦躁，然而考虑到他没有发烧，也没有任何其他疾病的症状，最终我们还是决定维持原计划不变。离开几小时之后，我们打电话回来，儿子好好的。现在想想如果是当时那种状况，我一定不会去离孩子太远的地方，以防他出现问题的时候我们可以及时返回。好在当时我们离开的也不远。那两天的小假期棒极了。

孩子们的适应能力很强但同时行为也更具不可预见性

孩子们归国后的适应过程并不是一帆风顺的，其中的各个环节都会适时来临，让你措手不及。比如我们女儿，她看起来很快就适应了，但是 2个月后，我却发现她在一边偷偷抹眼泪儿，说是想念那些她没能带回国的东西。几天之后，她又重新变回了那个阳光的小女生。但是我却凭直觉能看出来，在她的小小世界中，很多事情不是我能察觉得到的。我不能奢求她能像我一样平稳的走过这个过渡期，但是我会一直站在她身旁，做她宁静的港湾。

Old Wives’ Tales from Around the World

Basically, Koreans very firmly believe that turning on a fan while in an enclosed room as you sleep at night will lead to your doom.

韩国人坚信，晚上在密闭的房间里开风扇睡觉的话等于找死。

“老一辈说”集锦 Jennifer Raskin shares her understanding of the Old Wives’ Tales told all round the world. Are they based on fact or not? Is it right to follow them? Here are the answers. Jennifer和大家一起分享世界各地不同的“老一辈说”。这些说法可信吗？它们是否都有事实依据呢？答案即将揭晓。

very country has them. Old wives’ tales, or a common belief about something that is not based on facts and is most often false. China seems to have so many revolving around pregnancy and seeing as I moved to Qingdao when I was pregnant with my first child, I became quite familiar with some of them. One of my favourites was when I heard Chinese people thought pregnant women shouldn’t eat chocolate because it would make the baby’s skin dark. If this logic were true, every single mom I have ever known would have had a dark-skinned child. Lest you think I’m picking on China, let’s talk about one of the many from my home country, America. From as early on as I can remember, I was always led to believe that if I opened

my umbrella indoors, I’d have bad luck. But all over Asia, all I’ve ever seen on a rainy day is people opening their umbrellas inside to help them to dry. Even in my own home, my husband will open his umbrella. His parents will too if they come over on a rainy day. This used to make me cringe in fear, but I quickly began to see that this old wives’ tale was pure nonsense. The concept of old wives' tales has existed for centuries. Old wives' tales began in the oral tradition of storytelling and took off from there. These superstitious stories passed down from generation to generation were often told to discourage unwanted behavior, usually in children, or were used as folk cures for ailments ranging from toothaches to dysentery.

Every country the world over has its’ own stories. In Norway for example, if a woman has a boyfriend, she shouldn’t knit him a sweater before they marry or else he’ll leave her. Maybe it has more to do with the pattern of the sweater than the sweater itself though. Also, don’t whistle whilst indoors in Russia. They say it makes the same sound as wind blowing the household’s money away. In Sweden, stepping on a manhole cover with the letter ‘A’ on it means bad luck in love or bad luck on that day. ‘A’ stands for “avlopp” which is Swedish for “sewer,” but in the superstition, ‘A’ means “avbruten” Swedish for “broken off”, as in “broken off love.” However, if you step on a manhole cover with the letter ‘K’ on it (‘K’ stands for “kärlek” which means love),

it means good luck in love, or good luck on that day. Of course, my all-time favourite old wives’ tale comes from Korea. I lived in Seoul prior to moving to China. At the time, my brother also lived and worked there. He warned me about something called Korean Fan Death. Basically, Koreans very firmly believe that turning on a fan while in an enclosed room as you sleep at night will lead to your doom. As silly as that sounds, there is a slight kernel of truth to this belief because fans don’t produce their own air. They blow the air behind them forcefully outwards. So if it’s very hot and all your doors and windows are closed in your room, then the air that is blowing from the fan will be hot. The resulting effect is much like an oven, and instead of cooling you down, the fan will heat you up. But that’s not superstition. That’s science. As for the rest of the old wives’ tales out there, there is no scientific backing to prove any of them to be true. So if you’re pregnant, eat your chocolate. And if you’re Norwegian, knit up those sweaters.

每

个国家都流传着“老一辈说” ，这些所谓常识性的说法大部分都不符合事实且多不靠谱。中国就有好多关于孕期的老一辈说法。我刚移居青岛的时候，恰逢孕期，即将迎来我的第一个宝宝，从那时起我便了解了一些“中国孕事”。其中最令我印象深刻的是：中国人认为孕妇在怀孕期间不能吃巧克力，因为这会使孩子的肤色变黑。如果这个说法属实的话，那我认识的每一个妈妈手里都该抱着一个“小黑孩儿”了。为了避免让大家觉得我是有意“针对” 中国，在这里我也给大家“贡献”一个来自我的故乡美国的“老一辈说”。从我记事起，就被告知在室内打伞会招来厄运。但是纵观整个亚洲，在下雨天人们都会从出门前就把伞打开以避免淋湿。即使在我家里，我丈夫也会先把伞撑开。如果我的公婆赶上下雨天造访，他们也是这样。我一开始还心存焦虑，恐怕因此遭来厄运，但不久我便意识到这些所谓的“老一辈说”根本就毫无道理可言。 “老一辈说”已存在了有数百年之久，它们通过口口相传延续下来。这些迷信的说法世代相传，主要用于限制一些不当的行为。以给孩子立规矩居多，辅以治疗牙疼、痢疾等小灶病患。世界上所有国家都有自己独特的“老一辈说”。比如在挪威，如果女子还未和男友结婚，那么她便不可给他织毛衣，因为此举会让男友离她而去。不过，我想这离她而去的原因大概是毛衣织得太丑了吧，和织毛衣这件事本身没啥关系。另外，在俄罗斯不要在屋里吹口哨，因为俄国人认

为口哨的声音和家里的钱被风刮走的声音是一样的。在瑞典，如果出门踩到标有字母“A” 的井盖儿便昭示着你的感情会出现危机或者当天会走霉运。“A”在瑞典语里代表“avlopp”，也就是下水道的意思。但是稍微一迷信，就容易把它和瑞典语的另外一个词“avbruten”联系起来，这就成了分手的意思了。然而，要是你恰巧踩到了标有字母“K”的井盖儿，那意义就大不相同了，因为在瑞典语里“K”是“k ä rlek”的首字母，意思是爱。这样一来你就会走“桃花运”或者好运一整天了！当然，我觉得最有意思的当属韩国版的“老一辈说”。来中国之前，我在韩国首尔待过一段时间。那时候，我的哥哥也在那里工作和生活。他警告过我关于“韩国风扇之死”的事情。据他讲，韩国人坚信，晚上在密闭的房间里开风扇睡觉的话等于找死。虽然这听起来有点傻，但是也不无道理。因为风扇自身不会产生空气，它只是促进了空气的流动。因此，如果房间不透风的话，里面会很热，再加上风扇不断的搅动空气，这就使房间成了一个大烤箱，让人感到越来越热。这样一解释就不像是迷信了，是有科学依据的。至于其他的所有 “老一辈说”，就毫无科学依据可言了。如果你怀孕了，尽管享用你喜爱的巧克力，不用担心你未来的娃变黑。如果你是挪威人，尽管为心爱的人织毛衣，他不会抛弃你的。

This Weekend…Get Away 这周末，给自己放个假

The summer heat is fading while the fresh and sunny autumn days are luring people, who have been avoiding the heat, out from their houses. In fact why not take the weekend to get away from the city? REDSTAR recently spent a weekend in Huangdao and experienced its serenity. 秋高气爽，周末不想宅在家里？那和家人一起出去放松一下吧！不久前，红星一家子就来了场“说走就走的旅行”，齐聚黄岛，感受了一下胶南的宁静。

t took less than an hour’s drive for us to get to Fourpoints by Sheraton in Huangdao. From outside, the twin buildings of the hotel stood out in the bright sunlight while the interior design of the hotel was simple but lively. Looking through the huge lobby windows, we could see beds on the patio by the swimming pool, where we could sit and bask lazily in the sun, drink coffee or read, while our children played around us. Wonderful! In fact our colleagues' children Teo and Guoguo could not stop chasing each other around in the lobby in excitement since we arrived there. After checking in and unpacking, we were all hungry. So we went to the first floor to enjoy a delicious buffet

for lunch. Their Eatery Signature Restaurant provided a buffet with both Western food and Asian cuisine. Here, you can find steaks, crab, shrimps, pizza, cake and coffee, as well as Japanese cuisine such as sushi and salmon fish. Of course, you can also find plenty of Chinese dishes here; the chefs are ready to cook for you on the spot, even handmade noodles can be prepared at a moments notice. It is worth mentioning that the restaurant has a rich selection of seasonal seafood, all of which come from the ocean in front of the hotel to ensure freshness. If you want, the restaurant also serves all kinds of traditional Chinese specialties for your preference. And they can also

provide private rooms for your dining experience. Waking up from our short after lunch nap, we put on our swimsuits and got ready for a dip in the pool. The hotel's swimming pool was located on the third floor. There was a large pool in the middle and the water in it was clean and clear with a comfortable water temperature suitable for all our swimming enthusiasts. In addition, there were two children’s pools located next to it. In the 60 cm pool, young children could stand comfortably in it without fear of deep water and the parents who usually swam with their kids could relax and supervise their kids from the edge of the pool while watching them learn to swim on their own.

After swimming, people relaxed in their own way. Some of them lay on the beds and just enjoyed the scenery of the countryside; while some took the time to sweat it out in the gym, others simply grabbed a cup of coffee and read in the lobby. Being far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and being exposed to this suburban tranquility helped us to relax both in mind and body. After enjoying a lazy afternoon of quiet; it was time to liven things up. When the sun started to sink from the sky, barbecue grills were set up by the poolside and everything became lively. Time for a Barbecue Party! The children of our colleagues happily ran about on the patio, while the adults drank and ate. Having a barbecue buffet outdoors created a sense of freedom for all of us. Everyone was singing and dancing to the beat of one of the hotel singers and chatting with our colleagues made us feel closer to one other. As night fell the singer finished up and as we looked up at the starry sky, things began to quiet down again. All we could hear was the peaceful sounds of waves far out to sea.

乘

In the soft beds of the hotel, we slept soundly in the quiet evening. However the next day, the kids were eager to go downstairs for a bike ride. The hotel provided us with not only a normal bicycle, but also a kind of conjoined twin bike to rent. The winding streets of the small park in front of the hotel were perfect for cycling and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery while riding. The parents traveling with their children could either ride a bike with their children or just enjoy spending time with them.

值得一提的是，餐厅里品种丰富的时令海鲜，都是从酒店前面的大海里打捞的，保证新鲜。想要换种口味的话，自助餐厅旁边是可以单点的包间雅座，您可以在这里享受特色中式菜肴，种类齐全，应有尽有。

But before we knew it our pleasant weekend was finally over. Departing back to the city, we all missed the serenity of Huangdao, but felt relaxed and refreshed with a sense of freedom; exactly what we needed after our busy week. So remember, occasionally it is good to give yourself a break and just get away!

游泳过后，大家就开始自由活动了，或在酒店房间看风景，或是在健身房锻炼身体，或是在大堂喝咖啡，悠闲自在，怡然自得。因为远离城市的喧嚣，大家都感受到了这片来自郊区的宁静，身与心都格外的放松。慵懒地享受了一下午的宁静，是时候热闹起来了。傍晚一到，水池边便燃起了烧烤用的烤炉，幽静的卡座也变得热闹起来。

着大巴车, 不到一小时，我们一行人就来到了位于黄岛滨海大道上的福朋喜来登酒店。从外面看，酒店的双子楼在阳光的照射下格外醒目。整个酒店装潢简约大方却又不失活泼。透过巨大的大堂落地窗，可以看到外面水池边上的躺椅，在这里慵懒地晒着太阳，喝喝咖啡看看小说，孩子在旁边嬉戏玩耍，岂不美哉！这不，我们的小Teo和果果就一刻也不得闲，在大厅里尽情地追逐嬉闹。办理好登记手续顺利入住后，大家都已经饥肠辘辘了。于是，一群人来到了酒店的一层享受美味的自助午餐。这里的宜客乐餐厅中西合璧，不仅有牛排、大虾、蛋糕和咖啡这样的西式餐点，还有寿司、三文鱼等精致日料，以及味道别致的中式菜肴，甚至还有现场手工制作的手擀面，冷热搭配，健康又美味。

午休片刻后，大家换好泳装准备游泳玩耍一会儿。酒店的游泳馆位于三楼，有一个恒温的室内标准泳池，水质清透，水温适宜，供游泳爱好者自由徜徉。另外，游泳馆内还设了两个儿童泳池，孩子们可以自由地站立在泳池里不用担心被水呛到。带小孩游泳的大人，可以放松地让小朋友自在地在水中戏耍。

烧烤派对马上走起！同行的孩子们都在木板上跑来跑去，颇为开心。而大人们则可大快朵颐，开怀畅饮了。在水池边吃烧烤自助，有种别样的开阔感。大家在现场驻唱歌手的歌声中，一起唱歌跳舞，聊着平时生活中的趣事，笑声此起彼伏。在这热闹祥和的氛围里，大家彼此的距离也变得很近。随着夜幕的降临，歌手退场，天空中繁星点点，周围也慢慢安静下来，只有不远处的大海，隐约传来阵阵波涛声。在柔软的大床上，我们大家都美美地睡了一觉。第二天一大早，小朋友们便吵着要去楼下骑自行车兜兜风。酒店不仅出租单人骑的自行车，还提供双人的连体自行车。酒店前面的小公园风景优美，曲径通幽，特别适合骑车观赏。尤其是带着小朋友出游的家长，可以陪孩子一起骑自行车，享受亲子欢乐时光。美好的时光总是短暂。一转眼，周末就在这样惬意的时光里度过了。启程回市里的我们，无不怀念黄岛的宁静。轻松愉悦，惬意自由，这不正是平日繁忙的我们所需要的吗？所以，偶尔也给自己放个假，出去玩玩儿吧！ Fourpoints by Sheraton in Huangdao offers a great package deal for guests who book a sea-view room to spend the weekend in. For only 799 RMB the package includes: free breakfast buffet and free dinner buffet for two people while they are staying, two tickets for the Dazhushan scenic spot, and access to fitness centre and swimming pool.

Meeting Diverse Learning Needs in Qingdao

满足青岛多样化的学习需求

n education, the individual student’s academic and social needs hold the primary focus of a teacher’s work in the classroom. Each student enters the classroom equipped with various tools to engage in the content and acquire understanding. However, occasionally a student enters the classroom with a learning disability that impedes him or her from reaching the level of learning that the student is intrinsically capably of attaining. Through careful observation, diagnostics, planning, and the carrying out of a strategy that includes the student, parents,

teachers, and academic services, the student can experience success regardless of learning obstacles. In the United States and now in Qingdao, I have been fortunate to have a role in schools that allows me to identify students in need of academic services and offer the help required for all students to realize and maintain their success in the classroom. In order to offer student assistance in and out of the classroom, identification of the learning disability first takes place. A learning disability causes the brain to process and receive information differently than

a typical student. In most cases, the causing factor remains unknown, and each student requires individualized learning plans to address the unique ways in which his or her disability is represented in the classroom. These academic struggles are usually noticed when a child begins school and has trouble in reading, math, writing, reasoning, listening, and speaking. As a result, some students have difficulty in a traditional educational format and require a flexible framework to meet educational standards.

Working as an Academic Services teacher gives me the opportunity to reach out to students and offer them the specialized support they need to learn to their greatest potential. A key aspect of providing academic support focuses on developing a plan created by the student, parents, teachers, and academics services that establishes the necessary accommodations in a class for a student to succeed. Accommodations are support and services provided to help a student access the general education curriculum and validly demonstrate learning without changing the rigor of the content. They are divided into six categories (presentation, response, timing, setting, test scheduling, and other). A few examples of accommodations include allowing a student use an audio recorder, having the same textbook at home and at school, colour-coding lessons and study material, reducing line items on a handout, and providing extra time during tests. In most cases, only a few pieces of the learning puzzle are missing, and academic services are able to provide what students need to succeed. The learning plans tailored for students may be in place for a short time or throughout their school career. “With the right support and intervention people with learning disabilities can succeed in school and go on to be successful later in life.” LDRAC (Learning Disabilities Research Association of China). I am privileged to partner with the community at the International School of Qingdao in proactively identifying students’ needs whether the need is apparent or subtle and providing the tools they need to see success. Our main objective is to care for all the needs of students throughout their entire academic journey. I am excited to go to work every day as it feels incredibly rewarding to watch children with learning disabilities reach their full educational potential.

在

教育领域，无论是针对某个特定的学生还是学生群体，都要求教师将主要的教学精力放在教室里面。每个学生在进入教室后，都会使用各种工具让自己听懂所学内容并掌握所有知识。然而，当一个有学习障碍的学生进入教室后，纵使所教授的知识是在其所能接受的范围之内，但学习障碍仍会阻挠他正常接收所学知识。通过仔细的观察和判断，我们研究出了一套有效的，与学生、家长、教师还有平日校内的课程设置都息息相关的教学策略，能够让学生在学习障碍之外看到一丝成功的曙光。在美国和青岛，我都能有幸帮助到有学习障碍的学生，看到他们各方面的需要，帮助他们在课堂上获取并掌握相应的知识，最终取得成功。不论课堂内外，为了给学生提供所需的帮助，我们首先要做的是鉴定该学生属于何种学习障碍。有学习障碍的学生，他的大脑接受与处理所学知识的方式与普通学生不同。在我所经历的大多数情况里，引起这种情况的原因都是未知的。每个学生都需要单独的教学计划来应对他在课堂里面所表现出来的某种学习障碍。当学生开学后，你就可以在阅读、数学、写作、逻辑推理、听力和口语等方面观察到很多的问题。所以，传统的教育模式对有学习障碍的学生是行不通的，他们需要一种同等教育水平下更加灵活的教育方式。作为一名为学生提供学术服务的教师，我能够有机会接触到许多学生并提供他们特

殊的学习支持，来发挥他们最大的潜力。提供学术支持的一个重要方面，就是由学生、家长、教师及我们学术支持部门一起，在课堂内设立一些必要的空间及措施来帮助学生们成功。这些措施的提供，是为了帮助学生通过常规的课程进行学习，并且在不改变学习内容的前提下，有效地获取相应知识。这些措施被分为六大类（展示、回应、时机、背景环境、考试安排及其他）。举例来说，就是允许学生使用录音机，在学校和家中准备同样的教科书，使用带有彩色编码的教学材料，减少讲义中的条目，考试中为他们加时等等。大多数情况下，对于有学习障碍的学生来说，只有几块儿学习拼图是丢失的，而学术支持部门的存在就是为了帮助他们补充这些遗失的拼图。这些学习计划是为学生们量身定制的，有的是短期计划，还有的会贯穿他们全部的学校生涯。正如LDRAC（中国学习障碍研究协会）所说“在正确的支持以及干预之下，有学生障碍的人也能够拥有成功的学校生活以及成功的人生。” 我很荣幸能够与青岛MTI国际学校合作，搜寻有需要的学生们，无论这份需要是白白显明出来还是深深隐藏的，我都希望能够帮助他们看到成功的可能。我们的主要目标是帮助学生顺利完成他们的学习之旅。我每天去工作，最开心的就是看到有学习障碍的学生们在学习上发挥他们最大的潜能，这就好像我得到了很不可思议的奖项一样。我期望在新的2014-2015学年里面，能够与 ISQ的学生、家长以及员工们一起努力。

中国路规

Laura Roark introduces the rules and regulations of driving in China, together with some tips to guide you through the frustrations. Laura Roark为大家介绍了在中国开车的一些路规，同时分享了一些小贴士，为你的驾车之路护驾导航。

riving regulations in China are similar to those in the USA but how people actually drive in practice is a different matter altogether. Adjusting your driving habits to local norms isn’t necessary, but once you know what to expect things can go much more smoothly.

Licensed to drive I wouldn’t recommend learning to drive in China but if you are an experienced driver and licensed in your home country it’s just a simple matter of getting used to the way things are done here. International drivers licenses are not recognized in China so you will need to have a valid drivers license from your home country. You need an official translation of your passport and drivers license and an appointment at the Drivers License Bureau where you can get your health check up and register for your computerized driving theory test in the same building. You will need to take the comput-

erized drivers test of 100 random questions from a bank of about 1000 questions and you will need 90 correct answers to pass the test. The test is available in English, Chinese, Russian, German, Spanish, Korean and Japanese languages. Once the test has been passed your license will be ready in a few days and is good for 5 years from the date of issue. Study manuals are available at the test center and study guides are available in English online. Getting your own wheels When you are licensed to drive the next step is getting your own set of wheels. Currently there are no restrictions on car buying in Qingdao so it’s a simple matter of finding the right car at the right price and making a deal. Foreign brands can be priced significantly higher than their counterparts in the US ranging from 80000RMB to 1 million plus for a top luxury brand. There are many

local Chinese brands that are more affordable with small compacts starting below 40000RMB and SUVs around 70000RMB for basic models. In addition to the price of the car you will need to pay 17% tax plus registration and license plate fees plus insurance. Auto dealers can give you a price including all of these things or you can agree on a price for the car and go through the registration process yourself or with the help of a local friend in the know. As with most car dealerships worldwide, price is negotiable and it’s best to take someone who knows what they are doing to get the best price. Insurance and taxes are paid yearly and a new car will need an inspection after two years. Penalties and fines Now that you are on the road with your new license and car you might start to notice all the cameras watching you. Those nifty little cameras are at the ready to take your picture if you break a traffic rule and a few days later you will get a lovely little notice by SMS telling you that you have a fine. You can also check your traffic fines online. Some infractions come with only a fine and some with a fine and points to be deducted from the license. You have a total of 12 points per

Keep in mind that highway driving means paying tolls of approximately 0.5yuan per kilometer.

国的驾车规章和美国的十分相似，但是在实际驾驶过程中就是另外一回事儿了。让自己学着去适应当地的驾驶惯例并非必要之举，然而能够了解一些的话，定会对你有所帮助。持证驾驶在这里我并不建议在中国学车，但是如果你在自己的国家持有驾照并且驾史丰富的话，只需要了解一下在中国如何取得驾权即可。中国并不认可国际驾照，因此驾驶员需要持有自己国家的驾照。护照和驾照需要翻译成中文版。然后，你需要与当地车管所预约时间，进行体检以及驾驶理论机测。机测中，你需要回答100个问题，这些问题从题库中（题库中共有大约1000 个题）随机抽出。答案的正确率需要达到 90%以上才可以通过测试。测试有英文、中文、俄文、德文、西班牙文、韩文以及日文可供选择。一旦你通过测试，便会在几天内取得驾照，有效期为发证日起5 年。拥有一辆自己的爱车巧妇难为无米之炊，取得驾照之后，下一步就是买辆车了。现在青岛并未对购车有所限制，买辆价格合适的车并非难事。同等车型，国外品牌的车在中国的售价比美国高很多，从8万到100万人民币不等。同样也有很多中国国产车可供选择，价格方面就亲民多了，4万人民币以内便可买到一辆SUV。至于越野车，也仅需7万人民币便可入手一辆基础车型。除购车款外，你还要支付17%的税金、注册费用、车牌费及保险费。车行会报给你一个包含以上所有费用服务的价格，你选择以此价格成交免去后顾之忧，也可自己跑跑腿或在当地朋友的协助下完成相关手续。另外，所有车行报价都是可议的，最好带上懂行的朋友，议得个好价格。保险及相关税费每年一缴，新车还需在两年后例行车检。

记录。一些违章行为只需要交上银子便可摆平，但是有些却还要扣分。每个人每年总共有12分，扣完便暂时吊销执照。去缴纳交通违章罚款时，你需要带上自己的车辆登记手册，护照以及驾照，然后到当地的交警大队，打印出你的罚款明细。你有15 天的时间拿着罚款明细到工商银行缴纳罚款，否则每延迟一日，便需另行缴纳3% 的滞纳金。自驾路线现在你驾照在手，爱车一辆，保险傍身，那么条条大路任你挑了！仅山东便有很多值得一去的城市。中国的高速路很新，保养的又好。因此只需要下载一个手机GPS导航软件，你便可畅通无阻了。提请注意：高速通行是需要收费的，大约每公里0.5元左右。北京和上海的通行限制较多，所以在出行这两个城市之前请务必提前了解现行规定。快速浏览以下网址可让你简单了解一下中国的车价行情。尽管网站内容为中文，但你可以从页面顶部点开你感兴趣的车的型号，它就会自动链接到相关车辆的图片及价格页。如果你有意向入手一辆爱车的话，不妨点开链接看一看。网址如下：www.autohome.com.cn

Meeting Alpacas in Qingdao

DECORATE Culture Street 青岛文化街

Runs north from the Lijin Lu (利津路) bus stop to the Huayang Lu (华阳路) bus stop.

在青岛遇见—羊驼！

位于利津路公交站牌和华阳路公交站牌以北。

During August, the first Alpaca Carnival was held in Qingdao. Christina Cao decided take a closer look at these cute furry animals. 首届羊驼嘉年华于8月登陆岛城，Christina带你去一览神兽风采！

tretching from Huayang Lu to Lijin Lu, Culture Street is a network of stores full of the little touches and big splashes that will bring your home to life. There is no shortage of sculptures, paintings and calligraphy, mixed in with a few unique finds – antique instruments and clocks, propaganda from the Cultural Revolution, and even decorative weaponry, if that’s your thing. The stores are for art appreciators and creators alike. There are beautiful paintings for those seeking art, framing stores for those who already have it, and painting, calligraphy and woodworking supplies for those who want to create it themselves. The products here are genuine works of art, and so the prices are noticeably higher than the Qinghai Flea market but don’t be afraid to barter the cost down. If you’re looking for something cheaper, though, the streets are filled with vendors selling knickknacks that are a bit less unique for a lot less money. TIP: Putting Up Frames If you are interested in hanging something on a wall, you have two

options. Option one is to use a sticky hanger (there are several varieties available) and the other is to make a hole. Sticky hangers are notorious for falling off the walls, so don’t hang anything heavy or breakable with a sticky hanger. If you have something heavy or fragile (or want to hang a shelf) you are going to need to drill a hole and use anchors. The vast majority of walls in China require you to use a “hammer drill” to make holes. If any other tool is used, it can easily mean breaking the tool or chipping the wall.

如果你比较喜欢把东西挂在墙上的话，有两种途径：用粘力挂钩（有很多种类可供选择）或者从墙上钻个洞。粘力挂钩一直以来都因为容易从墙上掉落而被人诟病，所以不要把较重或易碎的东西挂在上面。如果你要挂的东西的确是很重或者易碎的话（又或者你想挂一个架子），你就不得不钻个洞了。在中国，想要在墙面上钻孔，大部分都会用到冲击钻。如果用别的工具，不仅工具不保，墙面也可能因此而剥落变脆。

Brushing your Teeth for their protection part 1 刷牙护牙第一步 D

octor Olive from Gentle Dental discuses different techniques for brushing your teeth.

来自真予齿科的廖医生将跟大家分享一下她的刷牙方法和经验：

techniques for brushing

几种常用的刷牙方法 Brushing without water If you don’t want to gargle or use water for your brush, put the toothpaste directly onto the brush and brush for over 3 minutes. The reason why some people don’t use water is to avoid bubbles as sometimes a vomiting reaction can be caused by the stimulus of bubbles. Horizontal Brushing It’s an effective way to get rid of gum and tartar. But please pay attention to what you are doing. The action is not like pulling a saw and should include at least 2-teeth in one brushing action. Be sure that half of the brush is brushing the gum for the purposes of massaging them and don’t stop if they bleed. Bleeding indicates there is a great deal of bacterium, germs and inflammation; so more cleaning is needed not less. The bleeding will stop after a few days. Vertical and Rotating away This technique cleans the tooth surface and interdental space. With your wrist twist, from the gum to the tooth surface, especially the inside side area of the lower teeth. Note: A combination of vertical and rotating brushing with horizontal brushing is

best. If no rotating or no horizontal brushing but only vertically brushing, there will be tartar buildup on the verge of gum line or between the teeth. An analogy is that stairs can’t be cleaned properly if you hold the broom only one way and clean vertically. 干刷在刷牙时请不要先漱口，也不要让牙刷蘸水，一定要把牙膏挤在干燥的牙刷上，而且刷牙的过程要坚持三分钟以上。干刷的目的是为了避免泡沫刺激口腔，因为泡沫容易让人恶心，因而就无法坚持三分钟了。如果觉得无聊，在刷牙的过程中可以随意走动一下，或是看会儿电视。水平颤动法这是一种可以有效清除牙龈沟与牙面交界凹陷处软垢的方法。请注意不要采用拉锯式横刷，而且要保持一次刷两颗牙的动作幅度。在刷牙过程中，要确保牙刷有一半在牙龈上，以此来达到按摩牙龈的目的。千万不要因为出血就不敢继续刷了，出血说明局部细菌量大、有炎症，所以更要仔细刷。坚持几天，您的出血的状况就会改善。

proper method guarantees a proper cleaning. 刷牙时间应在3分钟以上。如果觉得早上时间紧张，那晚上的刷牙时间一定要达标。这个道理如同我们洗衣服，搓洗的时间、力度和方法都到位了，衣服才能洗得干净。

Pay attention to blind spots 注意盲区 Usually, the right hand side of the teeth in your mouth will be cleaned more carelessly. So gingivitis will occur in a high percentage there. Deliberately open your mouth wider to clean these often ignored parts. Left-handed people should pay extra attention to teeth on the left hand side of the mouth.

使用右手刷牙的人通常容易忽略右上和右下区的牙齿，而这些被忽略的部位发生牙龈炎的概率会非常大。刷牙时可刻意张开嘴巴右侧口角来清洁这些部位。使用左手刷牙的人，左上和左下区域亦然。

Use tooth floss

养成用牙线补充清洁牙缝的习惯

If not in the morning, do it at night.

竖转法此法适用于清洁牙面及部分牙缝处的牙垢。刷牙时手腕要转动，从牙龈刷向牙面，尤其是下牙舌侧。但需注意的是，竖转法要结合水平颤动法，千万不要只竖不转，也不能没有水平颤动，这就是为什么许多人积攒了龈缘和沟内结石等牙患。举个简单、有趣的例子：手持扫把却只是竖着扫楼梯，楼梯会扫的干净吗？

如果早上没时间，可以利用晚上的时间做一次。

So here is my advice. If you have any questions, come to my clinic for help and a checkup. Good habits will help prevent gum disease or other tooth related problems.

Brushing teeth should be for 3 minutes at least. If it’s impossible to do it in the mornings, do it at night. It’s similar to washing clothes; the duration of washing, strength and the

Know Your Olive Oil 如何鉴别橄榄油？

ith the growing popularity of Mediterranean cuisine, olive oil is making a name for itself in emerging markets as far as Northern Europe, the US, and China. The quality of olive oil is determined by many factors ranging from the growing environment and cultivation of the olive tree to the processing, storage and transportation of the olive oil itself. That explains why the price for just one bottle of olive oil in Europe can cost as much as 50 Euros, while it may just cost you 2 Euros to buy one back home. Now is the perfect time to teach you how to distinguish a good bottle of olive oil and a bad one. 1. First…look at it The Appearance: The colour of good quality olive oil is green tinged with gold and the texture looks thick. Low quality oil or one that is not very pure or has been oxidized will look yellow with a thin texture. The Acidity: The acidity of olive oil is a reflection of the freshness of the olive fruit with the acidity of Extra Virgin olive oil ranging from less than 0.8%, but usually above 0.3%. Refined oil or Pomace oil’s acidity can be artificially adjusted, so if its acidity is below 0.3%, best to just throw it out. 2. Then smell Drip a few drops of olive oil on your palm and then rub your hand until it becomes warm. If it smells like grass, flower, fruit, tomato or mushroom, it indicates good quality, while a low quality oil will smell like gasoline, earth or metal. 3. Lastly, taste it Sip some olive oil, and if it tastes like nuts with an aftertaste of light spiciness also with a slight bitterness then it is good quality. In contrast if it stinks, the oil is of poor quality. In addition to this, the best way to test the quality of olive oil for the amateurs is to eat some plain or salty bread dipped in oil. From this simple test you’ll be able to tell the moment you take a bite,

着健康的地中海餐饮方式的流行，橄榄油深受北欧、美国、中国等新兴市场人们的

草香、花香、果香、西红柿、蘑菇香的是好油；有汽油、泥土、酸败、金属味道的都是劣质油或勾兑油。

喜爱。

三尝橄榄树的品种、风土、农艺、加工工艺、储存和冷链物流等诸多因素，都决定了橄榄油品质。这就是为什么在欧洲，有的橄榄油卖到50欧元，而有的橄榄油却只卖2欧元。小小的一瓶橄榄油，却有这么大的文章。那么消费者该怎么样鉴别橄榄油的真假和优劣呢？

喝一大口橄榄油浸润口腔，口感清冽有坚果香，咽下以后回味辛辣苦涩，正是“良药苦口“，但却不过分酸涩，失去优雅；劣质油苦臭不堪，即便炒菜用都有强烈的臭味。另外，业余人士品鉴橄榄油的最佳方式，是用原味或者咸味面包蘸橄榄油吃，好坏立见高下。

一看看外观：好的橄榄油是绿色中略带金黄色，质感浓稠；勾兑或已氧化的橄榄油才呈现黄色，质地也比较稀薄。看酸度：酸度是橄榄果新鲜程度的反映。特级初榨橄榄油的酸度 ≤0.8%，但一般不小于0.3%。精炼油和果渣油的酸度可以人工调节，所以酸度小于0.3％的橄榄油反而值得怀疑。

FOOD & NUTRITION

FOOD & NUTRITION of the apartments in Qingdao also feature sunrooms that could easily be repurposed as greenhouses for year round growing. There are numerous ways to grow different kinds of plants, but it all begins with seeds. You can usually find them being sold at street vendors or at vegetable markets. If not, you can try flower shops, and supermarkets. If all else fails, you can look on Taobao. Once you have your seeds, you'll need some containers and soil. For small plants and seedlings you can always cut the top portion off of a water bottle and fill it with soil or gravel. If you don't want to get soil from the local environment, you can see about getting potting soil from the flower shop.

城中农事

Urban Farming Living in a city means that access to fresh, healthy produce can be either hard to find or hard on your budget. Also, many people do not always think about the hidden costs of the food that they buy in stores and markets. Noah Luogameno shows how growing your own food or Urban Farming can avoid all this. 在城市生活的人们，很难接触到新鲜、健康的农产品，或者说需要花很多时间和金钱才能买到新鲜健康的农产品。而且，很多人都没有意识到，我们在商店和超市所购买的农产品其实含有很多附加成本。本期Noah来教您怎么样种植自己的小菜园。

any of the products on store shelves have been transported over great distances to reach the customers that buy them. And so one of the biggest hidden costs for this system is the cost on the environment. Our food logistic systems run on oil. From the machines that farmers use to grow the food, to the trucks that transport it all over the country, oil is used in great quantities. And in many parts of the world, food is grown in warmer climates, which although allows for a longer growing season means that produce in northern cities may have to be transported long distances to those regions with a shorter growing season.

Most of the world’s population inhabits large cities within 200 km of the coast including Beijing, Shanghai, New York City, Los Angeles, Paris and London. However, the large food production areas of most countries tend to be further inland, far from these populated centers. In order to get a large amount of food to the cities it must often be transported hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. So what can we do? How can we hope to make a difference in this well-established global food system? It is actually quite simple. All you need are seeds, soil, and water. The idea of Urban Farming has been growing steadily over the last decade

driven by the need to produce food near the large population centers, as well as the importance of limiting global greenhouse emissions. People who are conscious of these problems, as well as those looking to save money and have more control over the food they put in their bodies, have begun to grow their own fruits and vegetables in small urban gardens or farms. It does not take much space, time, or effort to grow your own food. Empty plastic bottles, coolers, or buckets are a great way to start. Just add soil, seeds, and water. If you want a more advanced system, you can even decide to forgo the soil and just use water in a hydroponic system. Many

To plant the seeds, just poke a hole about 3 or 4 cm into the soil and drop in a few seeds. Cover with soil and add a small amount of water to moisten it. Keep the soil moist for a few days and you will eventually see the telltale signs of green life erupting from the soil. As long as you keep the soil moist to touch, the plants should continue to grow and bear delicious fruits and vegetables. Other great containers can be found at local shops, and around your house. Buckets and coolers work great for larger plants such as tomatoes. As for location, sunrooms and window ledges are ideal. If you have access to your building's rooftop, you can grow large amounts of local fruit and vegetable up there. If every building had a green roof, the air would be cleaner, the food would be more abundant, and there would be less polluted runoff from the rain, washing into the sea. Start small with just one or two plants and you might even find out that you have a green thumb.

很

多货架上的农产品都是经过了长距离的运输，才能到达我们消费者手里。

农产品最大的附加成本是环境成本。我们的食品供应系统和石油密切相关。从种地的农用机械，到运输的卡车，石油可谓是无处不在，用量巨大。在世界上的很多地方，食物都是在温暖的地方生长，生长期比较长。这就说明，北方地区的很多蔬菜水果都是“提前”成熟，并经过了“长途跋涉”，才能到人们的餐桌上。世界上大多数人口密集的大城市都在距海岸线200千米以内的沿海地带。如北京、上海、纽约、洛杉矶、巴黎、伦敦和东京等。然而，很多国家的产粮大省则都处于内陆地区，距大城市较远。为了满足广大城市居民大量的食物需求，很多农产品都需要进行大宗运输，有时候路线甚至长达几万公里。那我们究竟该怎么做呢？这一全球食物系统如今早已十分成熟，我们怎么做才能另辟蹊径，改变这一现状呢？你要做的其实很简单，一把种子、一方泥土和水，就可以做出改变。城市种植的理念在过去的十年间已经十分普及。当今世界，减少二氧化碳的排放已经变得越来越重要。因而，在大城市周边种植农作物的需要就变得越来越迫切。现在，世界上越来越多的人意识到了这些问题。出于经济和食品安全考虑，人们开始自己动手，种植水果和蔬菜。

自己动手种植食物并不会占用你太多的时间、空间和精力。准备好空的塑料桶，冷却器和水桶，你就可以开始了。只需一点土、一把种子和一些水，小小的菜园就搞定了。如果你想建一个先进一点的系统，你甚至可以建一个不用土壤只用水的系统，单用水就可以种植。青岛的很多公寓采光都很好，因而很容易就可以改造成一个四季都可供植物生长的温室。不同种类的植物有不同的种植方法，种子是第一步。通常，你都可以在路边摊或菜市场买到植物的种子。如果没有，你可以去花店和超市看看。如果还是买不到，你还可以淘宝上看看。种子买好后，你还需要准备容器和土壤。对于小型植物和苗木，你只需剪掉水瓶的开口，用土或碎石填充瓶身，就可以养在里面了。如果您不想用家里附近的泥土，你可以从花店买盆栽土来种植。播种：只需在土壤中戳一个约3~4厘米洞，把种子丢到里面，盖上土，并加入少量水来滋润。保持土壤湿润，几天后，你就会看到土壤中发出的嫩芽。只要你保持土壤湿润，植物就会继续生长，最后结出美味的水果和蔬菜。其他的容器可以在你周围的小店找到。水桶和冷却器都非常适合种植像西红柿这样大型植物。至于位置，阳台和窗壁架都是理想的选择。如果你可以上到屋顶上，你可以在那里种植水果和蔬菜。如果每一个房子都有绿色屋顶的话，空气质量会更高，食物会更加丰富，流入大海的污染雨水也会减少。从小事做起，就算只有一两盆植物，你也会发现，生活会因此变得更加健康。

All they can do is take the labels they learn and apply them as far as they can. As far as your child will understand, some things will have English names and some things will have Chinese names. I saw this the year before in my brother’s children, who went to daycare in Canada. When they wanted to play a game they learned at school, they explained it to us in another language and then got frustrated when we didn’t understand them. Getting your child to talk at all can prove such a difficult task that, once they get out any word at all, you’ll see this confusion as the huge victory it is.

aising a child anywhere is hard, and it’s even harder when you’re on the other side of the world you know. Nothing is predictable in the life of an expat child growing up abroad, but if you’re planning on teaching your child Chinese, there are a few things you can count on. 1: Your Child Wants to Learn Even if you don’t teach your child Chinese, there’s no hiding the fact that the people outside are speaking a different language. When my stepson Silas came to China on his second birthday, our plan was to keep practicing English a while longer before adding Chinese. It didn’t work. Where he’d been an outgoing, sociable boy in America, we couldn’t get as much as a “hi” out

of him in China. He knew that, for some reason, the people here made gibberish noises instead of using words, and he wasn’t going to waste his breath until he figured out why. It was frustrating for us, but we didn’t realize how frustrating it was for him until we found him in his room, playing with a toy that teaches how to count in ten different languages. He was mashing the “Chinese” button, ignoring the other nine, listening to the sounds he heard outside and repeating them back: “Yi, er, san, si, wu.” Before we’d taught him a word of Chinese, Silas taught himself how to count. Living in a foreign country is as frustrating for your child as it is for you. Kids want to be able to communicate

with the people around them, and we owe them that chance. 2: There Will be Delays Starting Silas in a Chinese daycare was a struggle. After eight hours of not being understood at school, he’d have given up on talking altogether by the time he was home. When he wanted to be hugged, he’d put his hands up and grunt. When he wanted juice, he’d just point at the fridge and cry. It was frustrating. It wasn’t like him. It would take the whole day to get him back to normal, and when the morning came, the whole process would start again. We talked about pulling him out of daycare.

4: It will be Worth It It will feel, some days, like your child isn’t learning. We nearly pulled Silas out of daycare before the day we realized how much he’d already learned. We had come to take him home early; convinced daycare was torture for him. As we got him ready to go, we tried to get him to say “bye-bye” to his classmates, but he just stared at us dumbly. It was right when we opened the door to leave, though, that he turned back to his class and said a word we had never taught him: “Zaijian!” Silas has only been in Chinese daycare for a short while, but he’s picking up words fast. It’s in my brother’s son, though, that I see how bright his future will be. Being raised bilingual has ignited such a passion for language in him that, at five, he has already taken it upon himself to learn how to say “hello” in eight different languages. In an increasingly global world, languages are more important than ever. Your children have an amazing opportunity. Teaching them Chinese will be hard, and you might feel like giving up, but stick with it and they will thank you for it some day.

在

哪里教孩子说双语都不容易，在大洋彼岸的中国则更是难上加难。对旅居国外的孩子而言，你永远都不知道他们身上会发生什么事情。如果你想教孩子中文的话，以下几点需要注意。 1. 孩子有很强的求知欲就算你不教孩子中文，孩子也会发现周围的人都在说另一种语言。我的继子Silas在两岁时来到了中国，我们计划先教他学英语，过段时间再教他中文。结果事与愿违。以前在美国的时候，只要我们一出门，他都会热情地跟人打招呼。可是，来到中国后却很少听到他说“Hi”。他知道，出于某种原因，周围的人都不说英语，而是嘟囔着一种奇怪的话。在搞清楚他们到底在说什么之前，他可不准备浪费口舌。他的这种情况让我们很抓狂。直到我们看到他在自己房间里玩玩具的样子，我们才意识到他有多难受。那天他在房间里玩一个教他用10种语言数数的玩具。他几乎是死死地按着“ 中文”的按钮，完全不管其他的9 个，一遍一遍地重复着机器发出的“ 一、二、三、四、五”。在我们教他学中文之前，Silas 就已经自学了用中文数数。对孩子而言，在国外生活面临的挫败感和大人一样。孩子们也想和周围的人交流，我们应该给他们提供这样的机会。 2：学习不是“立竿见影” 一开始，送Silas去日托中心让他很不适应。在那里他根本听不懂大家在说些什么，所以回到家也是一言不发。他想要你抱的时候，就把手举起来咕哝一声；他想喝果汁的时候，就指着冰箱哭。对此，我很担心。因为他平常不是这个样子的。我们花了一整天让他恢复正常，结果第二天一切又回到了原样。妻子和我开始讨论如何才能让他走出阴影。他最后还是走了出来。后来，我们发现，语言根本就不是问题。对两三岁的孩子来说，离开爸爸妈妈才是最大的挑战，这远远要大于文化冲击带来的影响。不过，随着时间的推

移，他们也会慢慢习惯离开父母，慢慢学着适应中文环境。一旦你的孩子习惯这些，他们的自信和独立会超出你的想象。 3. 孩子的语言有些“混乱” 五岁之前，孩子们都还不理解什么是双语。他们只会把学到的东西用在生活中。随着时间的推移，他们会慢慢明白，有些东西有英语名字，有些东西有汉语名字。我的侄子们也有过类似的经历。去年，他们被送到加拿大说因纽特语的北极地区。在解释在学校里学的一个游戏时，他们用的是一种很生僻的语言，我们根本听不懂他们在说些什么，这让他们很抓狂。 Silas也开始中英文夹杂着说话，不过这也没有什么好担心的。让孩子说话才比较艰难，跟这个相比，用词混乱根本都不算问题，只要他肯说话就好。 4. 一切终有回报有时候，你会觉得，孩子好像什么都没有学到。因为这个，我们几乎要把Silas从日托所接回家自己照看。在那时候，我们才发现，他其实已经学到了很多。那天，我们好不容易说服托儿所，让他们知道把孩子留在那里是对他的折磨，才得以早早地把他接回家。准备带他回家的时候，我教他跟班上的小朋友说“拜拜”，但他却没有任何反应地看着我们。直到我们打开门要走的时候，他才转过身来，对着他班上的朋友们说了句我们从来没有教过他说的话：“再见！” Silas其实只在这家中式日托所待了很短的时间，但是他却学得很快。我从我侄子们的身上也看到了他的未来。从小在双语环境下长大的他，对语言的学习有着特殊的热情。五岁的时候，他就已经能够用八种语言说“你好”了。在当今全球化的时代，语言比以往任何时候都要重要。双语环境下成长的孩子拥有的语言环境得天独厚。教他说汉语也许很不容易，会让你有时候想放弃，但是，只要你坚持下来，孩子会感激你一辈子。

Protecting Children in our Care

秋

天到了，孩子们陆续开学，一想到马上会见到学校的新设施还有朋友们，他们就十分兴奋。假期过后，大家都忙着回归学校生活，老师们满脑子也都是准备孩子开学后的学习用品、新的校服还有新学年可能要买的其他东西。但有一点始终没变，孩子的安全问题始终是父母们最关心的问题。在父母仔细调查研究、参观以及为孩子选择了最合适的学校后，他们理所当然地认为学校不仅仅应该提供学术培养，还应关注学生的社交及身体安全问题。然而，在国际背景之下，有时候会有很多未知的安全隐患。因此，儿童的安全问题应该是父母以及儿童工作者首要关注的问题。联合国、世界卫生组织以及其他国际组织都曾呼吁我们要保护儿童，特别是在容易忽视的领域，如身体上、精神上的虐待以及性虐待。我期待您能够与其他组织机构一起，了解儿童安全的重要性，制定政策并每年组织培训活动，来保护儿童的安全。

关爱儿童，从你我做起

n the fall, parents send their children off to school with excitement over new school supplies and the chance to see their friends. In the rush of getting back into the routine of our expatriate lives our thoughts often turn to school supply lists, new school clothes, and all the possibilities this new school year offers. Invariably, the thought of child safety momentarily flickers across parents’ minds in the midst of this chaos. It is generally taken for granted that the school that parents have diligently researched, visited and chosen as the best fit for their child, provides more than academic, social and physical security. However, in our international environment where predators can hide, child safety should be foremost in the minds of parents and of anyone who works with children.

The United Nations, the World Health Organization and many other worldwide agencies have championed the cause that children need to be protected, especially in the areas of neglect, and physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I urge you to also champion their causes by partnering with these and other organizations that believe in the importance of child safety and that develop policies to safeguard children. Numerous government and private organizations also promote the protection of children. Some of these groups provide guidelines and assistance for businesses and schools to help develop appropriate policies for this protection. Generally, these policies must state the procedures the business or schools will use to screen adults who work with children, the standards of behavior that all must

adhere to, and training programs that will be in place to educate adults and children, as well as parents and volunteers in schools. Screening of adults includes police background checks and thorough scrutiny of references prior to employment. Training programs for adults include explanations of the need for standards, characteristics of those who abuse children, characteristics of the behavior of children who have been abused, procedures for reporting abuse, and guidelines for the care of those who have been abused. In most programs, adults who work with children are required to sign a Code of Conduct at the conclusion of their training program. This code delineates standards of behavior for adults as they deal with children.

Requiring that signature affirms commitment to the standards adopted by the business or school. The International Schools of China (ISC), of which the International School of Qingdao (mti) is a member, have embarked upon a rigorous application of child safety standards within all six of its schools. A Foreign and Chinese policy has been adopted and training of all staff has begun in each school. The training materials, annual training, and the Code of Conduct are presented and available in English and Chinese. Translation of the materials into the Korean language is also underway. The child safety training in ISC is not a one-time event but requires updates and continued instruction throughout the year for all those who work with children. Intentionality, effort, and expense are all involved in the process of creating an organization that values child safety, but having children know they are protected and knowing, as a parent, they are protected is priceless.

许多政府及私人机构都积极为保护儿童的安全作出努力。有些组织为公司和学校提供帮助和指导，让他们制定恰当的规范来实现保护儿童的目的。一般来说，公司或者学校可以使用这些政策来监管儿童工作者的行为是否符合该准则，并且通过培训来教

Picking the Right College or University 如何选择适合你的学校

client recently told me that she was very open to attending the right college for her, except that the school needed to be high ranking, well known in China, and located either in Boston, New York or Los Angeles. So in the end, she really wasn’t that open to selecting the right or best college for her. The America education system has a different system for school selection, as the standard of education is roughly equal throughout the entire country. Schools that are small and not so well known in China, still offer a first-class education for Chinese

students. My wife transferred from China to Moravian College, a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania, where she switched majors from English to Accounting. A few years after graduation she attended a top ranked accounting masters program. However, she felt that Moravian’s accounting program and professors were better than those at the top ranked program. Being famous does not mean being better, so rankings don’t guarantee a superior quality of education. As a starting point in finding the right college (or university) to apply to, decide on what matters most to

you: Getting a “brand” or getting a great education. You could achieve both by attending Harvard University. However, Harvard only selected 5 Mainland Chinese students to attend in 2014, so this is not an option for the other 100,000 plus Chinese applicants planning to attend US undergraduate programs in 2015. My recommendation is to focus on educational quality rather than the perceived rankings and ability to get a “good” first job after graduation. Many highly ranked US universities take too many Chinese students and have inadvertently created Chinese colleges within these universities.

The former admissions director of Washington University’s top ranked Master in Finance program told me that he prefers Chinese applicants applying from smaller colleges like Washington over those students from large national universities like Ohio State University. The reason is simple: the students who attended schools without huge Chinese populations had stronger English and cultural skills and thus were better prepared for the demands of his graduate programs. This leads to another question whether or not you want be one of many or one of only a few Chinese students in your school.

For most Chinese applicants and their families, their school selection comes down to the US New and World Report rankings. Too many applicants limit their choice exclusively to large national research oriented universities without even investigating regional universities or liberal arts colleges. Too many applicants also limit their choices just to a few cities such as Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. There are so many other locations in the United States for Chinese students to study and develop. Every state has outstanding universities that regionally and locally are well known for their teaching quality and academics. This leads to the next recommendation for you: investigate 6 to 8 schools from both the regional university and liberal arts college categories and apply to those schools you find the most relevant to your interests. There is no rule that says you cannot apply to both large research universities and small liberal arts colleges. A client last year did this and got into schools she had never known about before starting her applications. In the end, she went to a famous regional university and she couldn’t be happier. She gave up much higher ranked schools and even large scholarships to achieve this. As a helpful side note; liberal arts colleges give a higher percentage of scholarships (and bigger scholarships) to Chinese students. While many students apply to universities that are “undeclared”, my recommendation is to spend more time thinking about your future career aspirations before starting the application process and identify majors that will empower you enter that those career paths. Your interests may change in the future, but that shouldn’t stop you now from picking 2 to 3 potential majors. Review the Top 20 universities for each major and investigate 6 to 8 schools that you find interesting. This is a situation

最

近一个客户告诉我，她对于理想学校的选择范围十分广，只是希望学校能满足这样几个条件：有较高的排名，在国内有良好的知名度，位于波士顿、纽约或者洛杉矶这样的大城市。最终，她可选择的学校寥寥无几。美国的教育系统让美国学生的择校方式和中国同学截然不同，这主要因为教育资源在全美的范畴内分布十分均匀。许多学校虽然位于一些不为人知的小城市，但依旧可以向中国留学生提供一流的教育资源。我太太以前在墨瑞维恩学院(Moravian College)留学，这是一所位于宾夕法尼亚的小型文理学院，她在那里从一开始主修英语转成了主修会计。毕业几年之后，她又在一所会计专业排名很高的学校继续攻读会计学硕士学位。然而，她感觉之前墨瑞维恩学院的会计项目以及师资力量竟好于这所高排名的院校。显然，知名并不一定就更好，高排名也不一定能够保证优秀的教学质量。站在择校的起点上，你首先需要判断的，是哪个因素对你来说更重要一些：所谓的“名气”还是“教育”本身？当然，你也可以两者兼顾 – 拿到哈佛大学的录取。但不要忘了，哈佛大学在2014年只录取了5名来自中国大陆的同学。所以对于申请2015年美国本科入学的十几万中国同学来说，“鱼与熊掌”便不可兼得了。接下来我的推荐中关注更多的是学校的教学质量，而非学校的排名以及毕业后找工作时的“学校光环”。在美国，许多高排名的院校录取了太多的中国同学，无意间形成了一所在美国学校里的“中国学校”。以金融硕士项目闻名的华盛顿大学前招生主管就曾经告诉我，在录取中国学生时，他偏向于那些来自于小一点学校的华人学生，比如华盛顿与李大学(Washington and Lee)而不是俄亥俄州立大学(Ohio State University)。原因很简单：来自于这些华人少的学校的学生，英文水平、以及对美国文化的理解，都要远胜于那些华人多的学校的中国学生。由此而生的一个问题就是，你究竟是愿意成为学校里众多中国留学生之一，还是学校里为数不多的中国留学生？

EDUCATION

where the detailed college and university rankings listed in the US News and World Report are very helpful. Research and keeping an open mind will greatly increase the odds of you making a good choice. As liberal arts colleges typically do not ask students to declare a major during the first two years, the above recommendation is not as relevant. These schools want students to get a “liberal arts” education by exploring their interests and then deciding what interest them the most. When evaluating liberal arts colleges to find the right one to apply to, talk with current Chinese students who are enrolled there. The schools offer campus ambassadors to share their experiences with you. With a little research, you should be able to find the emails of current Chinese students to contact by looking for the leaders of Chinese clubs on the various campuses. By talking with these current students, you will get helpful “insider” knowledge about the college from a Chinese perspective. It would be great to be able to visit the universities and colleges in person and walk around each campus to make sure the school is the right one for you, but for most Chinese applicants this is not an option. Use the web and email as much as possible to gather and confirm your research. In the end, focusing less on rankings and more on the right fit will help you have an incredible four year college experience that prepares you to be successful in whatever career you decide to follow in the future. Best Success!

对于众多中国学生以及他们的家庭而言，择校的信息主要来自于US New and World Report的院校排名。有太多的申请者甚至没有对区域性学校或者文理学院做过任何了解，就把自己的择校范围局限在那些国家级综合性研究大学里。也有太多的申请者则局限在那些知名的大城市，例如波士顿，纽约或者洛杉矶。其实对于中国同学来说，在这些大城市的学校之外，有太多其他的学校可以选择。每个州都有许多很优秀的大学，它们的教学质量在当地或者本州都享有盛名。说到这里，我的第二个建议就是：申请者最好从区域型大学以及文理学院这两个范畴中选出6-8所学校，之后申请那些和你的兴趣最相关的学校。这里并没有规定说申请者不可以同时申请大型综合院校和文理学院。我去年的一位客户，最终去了一个她一开始都没有听说过的学校，一所区域性知名度很高的大学。她对此十分满意，甚至因为这所学校放弃了排名更高的学校乃至奖学金的机会。在这里，给大家一个很有帮助的提示：文理学院往往能为中国同学提供更多的奖学金机会，以及更高的奖学金金额。现在有许多同学在申请学校的时候不考虑专业，而我再这方面的建议是：择校之前先花时间想一想你未来的职业理想，然后挑选那些能助你发展未来职业的专业。当然，你的职业兴趣在未来有可能发生改变，不过这应该不影响你现在挑选出2-3个有潜力

的专业。在每个专业领域内，纵览一下排名前20的学校，并且从中挑选出 6-8个你感觉有兴趣的学校。从这个角度出发，你会发现US News and World Report的专业排名十分有帮助。这个调查再加上保持一个开放的态度，将为你最终“择好校”增加筹码。文理学院一般不要求学生在前两年选专业，以上建议在此看起来并不怎么相关。这主要是因为学校希望学生可以通过接受较为平衡的文理教育去挖掘自己的兴趣，最终根据自己的兴趣选择合适的专业。对于这些学校，一般都会有校园大使来与你分享自己的经验，这些已经在读的中国同学可以帮助你更好的了解学校信息。你只需要简单地搜索，就可以找到这些学校中中国学生组织的联系方式。这些在读的中国同学可以从中国留学生的角度为你提供许多宝贵的“内部信息”。在决定申请一所大学之前，比较理想的是能够亲自走访那个大学，了解一下这个学校是否真的适合你，但是对大多数中国申请者来说这样做是不太可能的。因此，我们建议大家尽可能地利用好网络资源和邮件沟通，采集尽可能多的信息来帮你完成“调研”。最后，一定不要过分关注排名，而是这个项目到底是否适合你，这将助你度过一个令人难忘的大学四年，帮你在未来的职业发展中取得最终的胜利！祝大家成功！
