　　       Play is a child’s natural way to learn. Children try and practise new physical(身体的), mental(智力的) and social(社交的) skills through play. As a child grows, play gives the chance to show his feelings. Future learning is based on play. It is the way a child learns to concentrate, to imagine things, to think out new ideas, and to practice grown-up activities. Today’s stacking and counting blocks(堆垛及计算积木) is tomorrow’s moths and science lesson. Several afternoons of finger painting may open a young mind to creativity in the art.

　　       Before children begin to go to school, they become interested in playing with other children. Play then becomes a social experience. Games are an important part of playing with other children.

　　       Television can also be a teaching toy. However, television can’t take the place of face-to-face play with people. It can do only when people watch television with the child and talk about the new ideas and words that the child sees. Play can help a child to imagine things. An ordinary cardboard box becomes a spaceship or a kitchen stove(炉) through play. Children can discover the real world through their make-believe(虚假的) world of play—they enjoy copying the activities of grown-ups and older brothers and sisters.

　　Play helps the progress of exercise and coordination(协调) for children of all ages, from the baby kicking in the little bed to the baby who can just walk, and to the kid who can ride a tricycle(三轮车).

　　       Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is necessary to consider, therefore, what the causes of stress are in our lives, and whether we can do something about it.

　　        Do we have too many responsibilities(责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and relaxation in our lives? Are our relationships(关系) with family, friends or fellow workers all that they should be? All these things can be causes of stress, and it is best to face them honestly. People who have a good row(吵架) and then forget it are doing better than those who bottle up their feelings.

　　If we want to lighten the stress, let us consider what we can do about it. It is possible to change jobs. We can get more free time and live more happily, if we accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb(扰乱) us are not worth an hour’s anger.
