The Amazing Kids! PenPals Program is a literacy-based (基于讀寫能力的), traditional letter-writing pen pal program, available to all children aged 5-17 worldwide.

At $10 per child, our program is a low-cost and fun way to help your children practice their literacy skills while they are making new friends. Groups of 15 or more receive a 50% discount.

Children love our program because:

●It helps them develop new (and possibly life-long)friendships.

●It allows them to practice the traditional form of letter writing and correspondence.

●They love getting letters in the mail from their pen pals!

Parents love our program because:

●It offers one of the few remaining choices for finding an established, safe and trusted traditional pen pal program to their children.

●It helps strengthen communication and literacy skills taught in their children’s classroom.

●It helps open their children’s eyes to a larger world, and other cultures and traditions outside their own.

●Many parents remember having a pen pal when they were children and want to give their children the same positive, fun learning experience.

●Parents love helping their children find new friends of their own age and gender.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a fee?

We are a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization, and the fees help cover our cost of running the program.

How did the Amazing Kids! PenPals Program begin?

The program began as a way of reaching out to the children affected by the devastating (毀滅性的) hurricanes of 2005. Our hope was that by matching young hurricane survivors with a new pen pal, we could help them in their recovery from the trauma (創(chuàng)傷) they experienced.

The program is now available to all children worldwide. We continue to welcome teachers, youth groups or agencies who like to work with hurricane survivors.

How does it work?

Amazing Kids! will match students of the same gender and age with other students who may share similar interests and hobbies, based on the information provided on the registration form.

I’ve completed all forms and made my payment. What happens next?

Someone from Amazing Kids! will contact you once a match has been found. You will be asked to call the other parent, teacher or group leader of the pen pal Amazing Kids! has selected. If both adults agree that the pen pal match is a good one, then the students may begin writing to each other. If the match is determined not to be a good one, Amazing Kids! will try and find an alternative match.

Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash(垃圾) there that scientists are now concerned that if we don't clean it up, we may all be in mortal (致命的)danger.

The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.

It is estimated that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.

The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飛船). Moreover, pieces of junk may collide(碰撞) with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.

1.What was the first piece of man-made space trash­?

A. A camera.B. A tool kit.

C. A fuel tank. D. A broken satellite.

2.Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?

A. It no longer served any useful purpose.

B. It was millions of miles away from the Earth.

C. It did not cause any problems.

D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars.

3.Which of the following statements is true about space junk?­

A. It is huge, heavy machines.

B. It never changes position.

C. It floats slowly around the Earth.

D. It may cause problems for space shuttles.

4.What has been done about the space trash problem­?

A. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.

B. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.

C. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.

D. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(輻射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1.What is the most dangerous factor of nuclear power?

A. Radiation B. Quantity

C. Amount D. Place

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Nuclear radiation can do harm to human beings.

B. Nuclear radiation cannot do harm to human beings.

C. Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.

D. Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.

3.How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A. By damaging its heart.

B. By killing a few cells.

C. By killing many cells in important organs.

D. By hitting any place in its body.

4.Why does nuclear radiation have a certain mystery?

A. Because human beings learn its harmfulness.

B. Because it can do harm to a person while the victim isn't aware the damage has occurred.

C. Because nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily.

D. Because human beings have no effective machine in order to detect nuclear radiation.

5.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _______.

A. die of cancer after many years

B. die immediately

C. have a child who may be born weak

D. all of the above
