FROM THE EDITOR

DEAR

READERS,

Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue (期刊) came out on March 3, 1923. Sure, 96 isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity (机会) to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!

We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalists (职业记者) now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.

Do you dream of being a reporter? Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual (一年一度的) competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters. Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students.

I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019-2020 school year.

All the best,

It was Friday morning. Ana hurried through her breakfast and then ran to get dressed. It was dark in her bedroom. She put on a dress and ran to say goodbye to her mom.

Her mother looked surprised, but Ana didn't have time to ask why. She got to the bus stop just in time to catch the school bus.

As she got on, she noticed her reflection (影像) in the window. "Oh, no!" she thought. "Whose dress is this? How did I put it on?" She went to sit with two of her friends at the back of the bus.

"Hi, Ana. What are you wearing?" asked Mel.

Ana looked down at her dress and said, "Well, you see…I was rushing because I was late and the room was still quite dark. It must be my mom's, I guess. "

The dress was very bright. Dark colours like black, grey and dark blue were fashionable. It was sky blue. It had big orange flowers all over it.

"I can't go to school looking like this!" cried Ana.

"You have to, Ana. There's a math test, remember. " said Susan.

When Ana walked into the classroom, Monica saw her and started laughing. Monica was the most popular girl in school and always dressed in the latest fashion.

"Hey, Ana, where did you get that?" She shouted and all the other kids turned to look at Ana.

The question made Ana angry. "In fact," Ana said, "I got it in the city. It's the new fashion. I'm surprised you didn't know that, Monica. "

Monica didn't say anything else. And the class began.

When Ana went back home, she asked her mom about the dress. Her mother said with a smile, "It's an old dress I wore in the 1980s, long before you were born. That was the style back then. "

"Well, it isn't the style now. Everyone laughed at me today. I'm never going to school again. "

"I'm sorry you were embarrassed (尴尬的). But you have to go to school on Monday. No one will remember what you wore today. "

On Monday morning, when Ana got to school, she noticed some girls were wearing brightly coloured dresses, including Monica.

For Iris Grace, the world used to be a lonely place. The autistic (自闭症的) five-year-old girl seldom spoke and she often got nervous while being with other children.

Iris has been taught art since she was three years old. She spends most of her time painting. She paints so well that her works sell for at least 1,500 pounds each. However, nothing could stop her loneliness until a cat called Thula came to live with the family last February. After Thula arrived, Iris's parents have noticed Iris adding images like a cat's eyes or nose to her paintings. At first, they thought Iris drew them by accident, but now they believe Iris is expressing her love to Thula in her paintings.

While Iris is painting, Thula always sits at her side and watches her with great interest. And when the family go out in the car, Iris always takes Thula with her.

Thula is having an influence on Iris's relationships with others, too, and her parents find it easier to encourage her to speak when Thula is around. Iris's mother said, "Thanks to Thula, Iris is a lot happier than ever before. "

What Can I Do Right Now?

If you are still worried about your height, talk to your p and your doctor. Most kids don't have a growth problem that needs h from a doctor, but it's always OK to ask if you're concerned (关心的).

So for most kids, it seems like there's not much to do b wait to see how it all turns out. But you can do something right now: Eat h and take care of yourself. If you get the nutrition (营养), sleep, and exercise you need, you're likely to reach your right h. In other words, you'll grow as tall as you were meant to grow.

And even though you may h that supplements (补品) are helpful, taking supplements that you can buy in a store won't help you get taller. Just keep to a healthy diet if you want to be the t you can be!

Kids who wish they weren't so tall should still eat healthily and take care of t, of course. Eating lwon't make you end up any shorter unless you really starve yourself and make yourself sick.

As they get older, most kids learn to f comfortable with their height, whether they turn out tall, short, or somewhere in between.
