1、   It's important to teach children to create strong passwords（密码）.①So why not remind them that passwords mustn’t be shared with anyone?

A strong password is a word that is as difficult as possible to guess because it looks like a set of random characters（随机的字符）.

It's wise to use the whole keyboard to mix a password with letters, numbers and symbols. A password of 14 characters or more may be much safer.

The following tips will tell you how to create a strong and safe password:

Tip 1: ②Think of a sentence that is easy to remember, but difficult to guess. For example: "My son Peter is five years old and my daughter Tina is one year old." ③这个句子太长以至于它不可能是一个密码. So what you can do is to use the first letter of each word to make a new password that seems to be meaningless. That is "mypifyoamdtioyo"

Tip 2: ④Make the password more difficult to guess by mixing big and small letters. One way to do this is to use big and small letters one after another. In this way this new password will be "MsPiFyOaMdTiOyO".

Tip 3: Still using the sentence above, you can also add numbers that are meaningful to you. As a result, the new password will be "Mspi5yOaMdTilyO".

Tip 4: Add punctuation（标点符号）and symbols to make the password much stronger. You. may use symbols, numbers and punctuation to take the place of some letters which look similar. For example: "MsPi3y0@MdTi! y0". (o=0, a＝＠, 1=!）

The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it.” I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed.

24、   Rabbit Shiny and tortoise (乌龟) Smily were neighbours. One day they were reading a story about their great grandfathers: Shiny’s and Smily’s great grandfathers decided to have a race. While Shiny’s great grandfather went to sleep during the race, Smily’s great grandfather won the race by slowly walking towards the finish line.

Smily said, “If your great grandfather didn’t go to sleep, my great granddad might never win. So his win was not a real win.”

The next day there was a notice in the jungle (丛林) newspaper. It said that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes. The race started from the bear’s house. From there, the runners had to cross the river. But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast. So they didn’t know what to do. Shiny and Smily made a plan.

Shiny ran, while smily was sitting on his back. He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time. But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast. They reached the finish line first.
