How to Dye Easter Eggs?

Dyeing eggs is a fun way for families to celebrate spring and add color to the Easter holiday. They can be used in egg hunts，Easter decoration and can be eaten afterwards，if refrigerated.

1. Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in the bottom of a saucepan and cover with an inch of cold water .Turn off the heat but keep the pan on the burner. Cover and let it sit for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the water and place the eggs in cold running water or a bowl of ice water for three to f ve minutes to cool.

2. Prepare Your Work Area

While the eggs are cooling，prepare the surface where you will be dyeing eggs to make cleanup easy. Butcher paper is inexpensive，works great to cover surfaces and can be removed and thrown away when f nished.

3. Place the Eggs in the Dye

The open-wire ladle（長柄勺） that comes with most egg kits is f imsy and hard for little kids to hold. A large spoon or small gravy ladle is easier to grasp，holds the egg in place and can be moved in and out of the dye cups._

4. Wait for the Eggs to Soak Up the Dye

Keep the eggs in the dye bath for three to f ve minutes，checking and turning them once or twice for good color absorption. For darker，more vibrant colors，leave the eggs in a few minutes longer.

Carefully remove the eggs with the spoon，roll them on a paper towel to remove dye drips and place them in an egg carton to dry for a minute.

A. Wrap the eggs.

B. Remove the eggs.

C. Newspaper would also work.

D. On high heat，bring the water to a full boil.

E. Using the spoon，carefully lower one egg into each of the dye cups.

F. Easter means more than anything else，Easter eggs or chocolate eggs.

G. This simple，easy-to-follow method produces beautifully colorful eggs.

Passage 2

Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not. Take these f ve steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.

Wear Protective Gear

Protective gear is anything you wear that helps keep you from getting hurt. The gear you wear depends on the sport you play.They protect your all-important head while you’re playing football，hockey，baseball，softball，skateboarding，and inline skating，just to name a few!

It’s not a good idea to just bolt on to the field and start playing. You shouldn’t even start stretching until you’re a little warmed up. So take a light jog to get loosened up and ready to play.

Know the Rules of the Game

Traff c lights at intersections help prevent crashes between the many cars and trucks that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them —at least most of the time.When players know the rules of the game—what’s legal and what’s not—fewer injuries happen.

Watch Out for Others

Some rules are just about protecting other people. For instance，a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in. Otherwise，he or she might land on someone else.For instance，a baseball player in the outf eld might yell“I got it” to avoid a collision with another outf elder.

Don’t Play When You’re Injured

This is a really important one. If you love sports ，it’s tempting to get right back in the game，even after an injury. But it can lead to an even worse injury.See a doctor for your injuries，when necessary，and follow his or her advice about how and when to return to practice and play.

A. Warm up.

B. Get to the f eld on time.

C. It’s the same way with sports.

D. Helmets are the most common protective gear.

E. Be honest with parents and coaches if you’ve been hurt.

F. Make sure you’re wearing the right helmet for your sport.

G. One way you can watch out for others is to communicate on the f eld.

Passage 3

Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person ’s brain takes in and processes information.The trick will be f guring out how you learn best.

Learning disabilities aren’t contagious（傳染的），but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes，like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have had some learning troubles，too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to f nd out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.

It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to f gure all this out on their own.Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.

Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has fgured out which one you’re facing，you’re on the right track. Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.

But for this special help to really work，you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of effort every day.Soon，you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school!

A. As a result，people learn differently.

B. What a kid needs to do is tell someone.

C. That can be a challenge，but you can do it.

D. You might feel different from everyone else.

E. There are people who know how to do just that.

F. But kids today have an advantage over their parents.

G. But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.

Passage 4

Computer trouble is unavoidable in our daily life. Here are some tips to help you get rid of it.

Keep a recovery checklist. If you ever have to “rebuild”a computer—reinstall programs，set up email，reconnect to your printer，and so on—I’m sorry .But it’s even less fun not knowing what to do. Here’s what to do instead: Take the time right now to write down all the steps you need to get a new PC up and running，including all the special settings.

Only change one thing at a time. Need to upgrade，f x， or replace a few things?Adding new memory to your computer? Install it，make sure everything still works for a day or two，and then replace the video card.

The simplest solution is usually the best solution.My wireless extender made my entire network more fragile and convoluted. I tried troubleshooting for a spell，but in the end I did what I should have done to begin with: I replaced the router with a new，high quality model.

A. Have a cookie.

B. It’s no fun.

C. Clean your computer often.

D. Always have a reliable backup.

E. Make changes to your PC or network one at a time.

F. You can also spend a little money on a cloud backup solution.

G. One of the problems with my home network was that it was needlessly complicated.
