My 3 year old sleeps with a pacifier
posted: April 13,
I have a confession to make. My 3 year old uses a pacifier when he sleeps. Also? I have no intention of taking it away.
We’ve all seen the pictures of Suri Cruise with her pacifier/bottle/high heels and made our judgments. We all think we will do things a certain way before we have kids. And we all find our own system that works that is somewhere between total control and total anarchy. Today? I am standing up for sleep. And for our family, that means the paci stays.
My son SLEEPS. He sleeps well. He sleeps with a paci. Last year we decided to drop the paci. We ceremoniously said goodbye and he even (quite bravely) threw it in the garbage all by himself. That night he went right to sleep without a second thought. I was victorious. I was proud. I even .
I was arrogant.
Not 2 days later, he stopped napping. Like as in, completely. He went from 3 hour naps to non-stop chatter. I turned to Google to find out if he was ready to drop the nap. Post after post appeared saying that children dropped naps about the same time they dropped pacifiers. I knew the paci would be back.
Thankfully, I am really good at eating my words.
I marched myself right out to the store and purchased not one, but two new pacifiers. We named them “bedtime pacis” and told Oscar that they had to live in his bed. He gladly accepted those terms and is back to nice long afternoon naps!
Of course I worried that I would ruin his teeth forever, but my Pediatrician gave me the ok saying that he isn’t really sucking on it in his sleep so it doesn’t cause the issues that might take place if he had it during waking hours. And that was all I needed to hear about that.
My name is Andrea Updyke and I am proud of my pacifier-using 3 year old.
When did your child drop the paci?

B&&&&& New changes have taken place in Paris in recent years. Paris used to be among Europe’s busiest cities. Traffic jams could be seen all the time. But now there is a new 2.5 kilometre-long car-free area inside the city. The Louvre(卢浮宫) attracts world tourists. People visit there not just for the art works, but also enjoy the roof of the building which is like a flying carpet. The world’s most beautiful city is now even more beautiful.&&&& Lijiang River National Park, China.&&&& Lijiang River is in Guilin. It is well-known for its clear water, limestone(石灰岩洞) and green hills. The hills have beautiful names depending on different shapes, such as “Elephant Trunk”. These attract many Chinese poets and artists. The best way to enjoy Lijing River is to take an 83 km boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo in summer.&&&& Zurich, Switzerland& What do you think Zurich is famous for? Great banks? Yes. People can find many Swiss banks and foreign banks here. But the city is of great interest to many people for another reason. Zurich hosts Europe’s largest street party each year.

This gives tourists a chance to see the world’s top athletes making new records.&&&& Adelaide, Australia &&&& Many people may know Sydney or Melbourne. They are big cities in Australia. But Adelaide wins people’s hearts with great festivals and tasty food. Adelaide Fringe Festival is the largest art festival in Australia.

C&&&& Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline.&&&& The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hungry each year.&&&& What’s causing food shortages? There are several reasons.&&&& There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food.&&&& Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion.&&&& Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year.&&&& How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to cut down on food waste.&&&& Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food &&&& You can also ask your schoolmates to join you.&&&& In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans(标语) in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that!&&&& The author of the study said, “You don’t need a huge activity to make a difference.”Reasons of food shortage&56._________________________________ &The growing population.&57.___________________________________Ways of 58___________&59.___________________________________&Ask the other students to join in your anti-waste work.Your understanding of the last sentence.&60.__________________________________

They live in the& UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has bec ome the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor a ctivities in one year.&&&& The Meek couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted . Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.&&&& Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks’ would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sai ling, climbing , skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we’ve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.61.请用中文出现的词语将下列句子补充完整，使句子意思连贯。& As a student, you should do more outdoor exercises in order not to__________________.62.Why did the Meeks become the focus of the UK?& ____________________________________________________________________________________________63.When did the Meeks go out to do the activities?& _____________________________________________________________________________________________64.请将稳中划线句子翻译成汉语。& ____________________________________________________________________________________________65.Please tell us what& you have learned from this passage with two sentences in your own words.& ____________________________________________________________________________________________
