Alice spends her summer vacations walking back into history．Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort （城堡）Delaware Museum in New York．"This year．I spun wool （纺毛线） on a spinning wheel．Last year，I was a candle maker．My first year，I cared for the garden and looked after the animals．All the jobs I've had at the fort have been really fun．"

Fort Delaware is a living﹣history museum that shows how life was in frontier （边远地区） America in the mid﹣1700s．"Reading about history can't compare to experiencing it for yourself"，says Alice．

The experience begins as soon as visitors enter the fort．The smell of wood smoke fills the air．Women in petticoats （long skirts） and men in knee breeches （knee﹣length shorts） are busy with their chores．The guides show visitors how the settlers （移民） would have carried out everyday work．"Kids are surprised when I tell them that one of their jobs would have been to make candles，says another guide，16﹣year﹣old Jane．"They don't realize the kids back then had to work hard．"She also shows visitors how to play with toys and games．

They are playing historical parts，so the guides can't wear shorts or T﹣shirts when the weather is hot．But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from the 18th century，"The clothes felt strange at first，but it does make it easier to get into characters．"says Jane．

Working at the fort has helped Jane to appreciate her life even more．Alice agrees，"The fort has taught me how hard life was and how much work there was every day．We are so lucky with everything we have now．Life wasn't always this easy．"

Most of us use alarm clocks or mobile phones to wake up at the right time for school or work． We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train． However， there is also a right time to eat， sleep， exercise， and take medicine． We can't look at a clock for the right time for these activities． We must listen to the clock inside our bodies， the biological clock．

Barbara Wells exercised every morning． She woke up at 6：00 a． m． She ran about two miles before she went to work． But Barbara's legs and back started to hurt． She did some exercise before she ran．But her legs and back still hurt． She ran slower， but the pain didn't stop． Barbara talked to her doctor．The doctor said， "Don't run in the morning． Try to exercise later in the day． That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work． Her legs and back didn't hurt any more．

Today， doctors are learning more about chronobiology（生物钟学），the study of biological clocks．They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies． For example， it is best for people to go to sleep on time every right and to eat only when they're hungry．Also，doctors discovered that some illnesses，such as heart attacks， occur （v．发生） most often in the morning．This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night． When patients take heart medication at night， they may prevent a heart attack in the morning．

Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives． It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

Dear Nancy's parents，

My daughter had a bullying （欺凌） problem a couple of years ago． It wasn't easy，but I ended it．When things are a serious as you describe， it is no time to be silent． These kids probably know each other from school， so take the rude text messages sent by the bully directly to the headmaster and show him Describe to him bow it is affecting your 13﹣year﹣ old daughter．Tell him you will not stand it and you want him to put an end to it now．

Bullying is a dangerous and serious offensethese days，and any good headmaster will take your charges seriously． He will probably address the issues with the parents． If they are crappy parents， then they may do nothing to their child． You may have to repeat this process several times， but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don't allow your child to delete them．

Now is the time to draw your child close and take care of her， because she needs it． My daughter did not like me being involved（参与的）either， but you are the only hope she has of solving this problem， so do it and mean business．Always be polite but straightforward．The headmaster and the parents must know you mean business．

Good luck ﹣ I wish you the best in this terrible situation．

Yours，

Rachel
