and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. make time for your kids each day. whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.even as kids get older, quality time is important. its really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day - especially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. but expressing interest in your kids shows that they re important to you.help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. together, you can come up with a few solutions. for example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.you can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. for example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctors appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. too much information can cause more stress.remember that some level of stress is normal, let kids know that its ok to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.when kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. this shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. if a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.most parents have the skills to deal with their childrens stress. the time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.24. what

donating ones time and services is very much a part of the american way of life. most charitable(慈善的) activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. the helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. some people work to teach youngsters how to read. others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages（孤儿院）to help children without parents.high school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. students may work with disabled children during a summer program, or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. with their sense of idealism（理想主义）students are often eager to donate their spare time. they see such activities as a way of participating in the community and the adult-world. social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.in a like manner，throughout the year，fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. they may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. they may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. today even the halloween custom of trick or treat has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.this call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble（谦卑的） origins of the american nation. those immigrants（移民）who were poor and downtrodden（受压迫的）became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.american volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. they volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill（声誉）both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.27. which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?a. some people open up soup kitchens to
