When was the last time your family had a picnic outside? How long do you spend watching TV every day? Nowadays families spend 【1】 time on outdoor activities than before，but “Take a Child Outside” week in the US is trying to change the situation.

“Take a Child Outside” week encourages parents 【2】 their kids away from the television and go out for some fresh air. This special week began 【3】 North Carolina. So far, it 【4】 across the US. This year, about 250 organizations in the US and 【5】 will take part in it.

This spccial week brings a message to all 【6】: go and take a long walk. Parents can take their kids to go fishing, go on a boart trip or just go camping together. Even just sitting at a picnic table and watching 【7】 kids playing outside is a good idea. Ourtdoor activities connect kids with nature. Kids 【8】 to be free and to more around. In this way, kid’s skills improve in creativity (創(chuàng)造力) and obseryation (觀察力). Kids can make use of outdoor materials 【9】 they are in the outside world around them. In addition, about 17 percent of kids in the US are overweight. This special week can also stop the phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) from spreading 【10】. Getting out of the house can help kids lose weight and keep them away from sitting before the television.

For years I have noticed that one common characteristic (特征) that successful people have is curiosity (好奇心). Why is curiosity important? Because it provides you with a fresh perspective (視角) and fresh ideas, Curious people can see things that many other people can’t. So how can you develop curiosity? Here are some tips that you can follow.

Expect things to be fun.

Instead of expecting things to be boring, expect then to be fun. This small change in your thinking can make a big difference. Once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of almost everything. And also, more doors of chances will be open for you.

Always have questions in your mind.

Whenever you deal with a topic, have questions in your mind. Find the answers and ask new questions. Questions keep your mind busy. They can change your learning process from being borng to being interesting.

Take on a new challenge.

By taking on a new challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (or perhaps to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is to create a competition with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.

Connect new things with what you’ve already known.

Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning with what you’ve already know. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new things that you haven’t noticed before.

Add variety (多樣性) to your life.

Find new possibilities by stepping into new topics. Read books in new fields. Meet people from all walks of life.

All the advice above can be summarized (概括) in just one phrase make things fun.
