Fear is a powerful feeling. We hope we can improve our kids with courage in the face of fear. We have to know how to help kids not be afraid. .

Pay attention to their fears.

Being afraid is one thing, but there's nothing worse than being afraid and no one notices the kids' fears.. At the same time, come beside them in dealing with fears.

Never laugh at them.

Laughing at your kids when they share what they are afraid of can make them feel small and afraid., it doesn't mean it's silly to them. You're an adult, so you've learned to deal with silly things. But your kids haven't.

Solve their problems together.

When your kids are afraid, you've probably realized the worst thing you can do is to force them to face their fears alone. That's not what great parents do for their kids. Once you understand their fears, you can begin to help them deal with whatever they are., but also it will build confidence and a connection between you.

Lithium (锂) is called "white gold" for good reason. The metal's value has been growing rapidly over the last several years, mainly because it is an essential material of lithium-ion batteries, which play an important part in several key sustainable technologies, e. g. electric cars.

As ocean waves, wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry, lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol. But getting lithium comes at a huge cost. As with most metals, its mining (开采) is damaging. It often works like this: briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate(蒸发), leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.

Indigenous (原住民) communities often bear the result of the damage, and political leaders have paid little attention to their concerns. In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe's historical sites. And for politicians who have promised to work with native peoples to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people' rights?

Mining of the metal is expected to increase greatly in coming years. Over time, that will make electric cars inexpensive and, therefore, more popular.

As environmentally conscious consumers buy electric cars in ever-greater numbers, it's important to be aware of the dirty process that powers those clean air vehicles.

In order to live in the wild, tigers need water to drink, animals to hunt, and plants in which to hide. As the mountains, jungles, forests, and long grasses that have long been home to tigers disappear, so do tigers. Agricultural expansion, new roads, and industrial expansion push tigers into smaller and smaller areas of land. Without wilderness, the wild tiger will not survive.

Asia's explosive population growth demands that more and more land be changed to agriculture. Indonesia, for example, has the same population as the United States, but only ten per cent of the land area. Almost all of Indonesia's lowland forest has been cleared for rice planting.

In India, where there are about 60 per cent of the world's wild tigers, the human population has grown by 50 per cent in the past 20 years. Over the past 40 years, China's population, the largest in the world, has more than doubled and 99 per cent of China's original forest habitat has been destroyed.

Tigers compete with humans and industry for land. Local people hunt the same prey (猎物) as tigers do, making tigers to turn to domestic animals and even humans. Threatened villagers often poison, or shoot the encroaching (侵犯) tigers. In addition to food, local communities also need to use the surrounding areas of forest for livestock grazing (放牧) and wood for fuel.

To protect tigers from hunting and the rapidly increasing loss of land, wildlife conservationists have worked with governments to establish wildlife reserves. Reserves are protected areas ranging in size from China's Xioaling at 21 km² to Indonesia's Kerinci Seblat at 14,846 km².

A mother and daughter in England have been putting smiles on strangers' faces with random (随机的) acts of kindness.Every week, Sophie-Louise Corrigan allows her 5-year-old daughter Amina to choose random strangers to put a smile on their faces.

When Corrigan is with her daughter Amina, Corrigan will let the little girl go to whoever she is drawn. Later, Corrigan will ask why Amina opts for them. Her answer is always because she likes something about them, either their tops or their hair. Amina always takes her pick. 

It's a tradition that started with Corrigan's own mother. "Mum and I used to do it. Whenever we had some money left from the weekly shop or if we really wanted to do it that week, we took out something from the shop to make sure we had the money. We would always do it," said Corrigan.

"Now, we do it everywhere, even when we went on holiday to another city, we did a random act of kindness there. We find flowers and chocolates whether it is in Ormskirk, Liver-pool or Wirral. Wherever we go, we do it," said Corrigan.

"The reaction is amazing and is one of the reasons why we carry on. A number of people who spoke to us didn't even know what to say. They were speechless. There were a lot of people who gave Amina a hug after it. She loves such a hug. There were others who had tears welling up. They said that they had such a terrible week either with bills or a family death. Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work."

Top Four Festivals in the World

Saint Patrick's Day, Ireland

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated anywhere in the world where there are the Irish. If you're going to get involved, there's no better place than Dublin. This festival runs for five days and five nights in March along with performing arts, literature, tours and food events.

Holi Festival, India

It's also called the "festival of love" as on the full-moon day in March people get together, forgetting all types of bad feeling towards each other. You'll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire (篝火)where people sing and dance. People throw coloured water and powder (粉末) to their friends and families to show love and respect.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland

One of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.

Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland

There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It's not just jazz, though. You'll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.
