usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however, pale or dark ale(麥芽酒 )is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food. Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and consumption is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite drink. Aalb schnapps made from corn and potatoes is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the Danes, brandy is also an aperitif(開胃酒 )and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice of surrounding toasts here can be unfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. Ladies arefortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content. It is milk instead of liquor(烈酒 )that is the principal(最重要的;主要的 )Finnish (Y/蘭的,芬蘭人的 )table drink. More milk is drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and a check is kept onconsumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers. As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages(烈酒 )are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks. But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law. Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the oldfashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the Swedish national drink. 62.

With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. “A lot of parents think after their child learns to read. they should stop reading to them.” Donna Gee said. “They are sadly mistaken.” Gee offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” Gee said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy— television and limit the time their children spend watching television. Gee suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms,setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14 yearold daughter and 10yearold son enjoy reading, the television sometimes bees a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the patents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important. 66. According to Gee, reading aloud to children________.
