Four students in a class are having a chat about what they did last week.
Roger: Hi, there! It was my 15th birthday last Saturday. Some of my friends andAlan, my cousin, came to celebrate it. Everyone brought me a gift. We playedgames, sang songs and had a big birthday cake. It was really a wonderful day! Didyou do anything special last week?
Jessica: Yes, my class were on a school field trip last week. First, we went to theUniversity of North Carolina to learn about the history of its basketball team.Many basketball stars were students there. Then we visited a museum. We learnedabout how the plane was invented and took many pictures there.
Sara: Well, I was lucky enough to go to a conference (会议) on charity(慈善) lastWednesday. I was excited to meet a lot of kind people there. One of them was aboy named Richard. He spoke at the conference about the charity work that he haddone in the past few years.
Martin: It was a more different week than usual. Last Thursday, my school bandwent to Atlanta to perform in a competition. I played the violin and we won aprize! On Friday we went to the Georgia Aquarium and got to see different kindsof sea life from over the world. It was really cool!
How can English be learned well? In my view, keeping up with teachers is agood way. Teachers are experienced and their plans are effective. But rememberto work in a way that suits you. It's important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make - It'l help youavoid making the same ones later.
The school life may be hard, but you're not alone. You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.
It's as important to live well as it is to study well. Going to bed no later than11: 30 pm is important. It puts you in the right state for the next day. You needn'tfollow a special diet, but make sure you are eating healthy meals each day.
The person who plays well studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn'tmean having to quit other activities. Playing basketball or having a talk with yourclassmates can relax yourself. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you studymore efficiently.
Besides taking the College Entrance Examination, you have other choices forcollege. Some students even apply for studying abroad. Pay attention to the usefulinformation you can find, whether it's from school, the news media or othersources.
A quick walk onto a frozen pond (池塘) could have been a disaster for thesetwo boys.
Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn't agree more. Were thebirds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So on a
cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond neartheir homes to get a better look.
First, they threwa rock onto the ice to test it. Believing the ice would holdtheir weight, Anthony tooka few steps, and then he erashed through the seminglyfrozen surface. "There was no sound and no crack, he told the reporter. "I just fellthrough immediately."
Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend. And he fell in the pond, too. Cruzmanaged to lift himself out of the water and onto a harder part. He then carefullyworked his way toward Anthony, but he fell in the pond again. This time. hecouldn't get out.
The two boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs(四肢). Cruz was sure that he was going to die.
Anthony's older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and startedshouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store,heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he took a nearby buoy (浮标)，kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz andAnthony and drew them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctorsdiscovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their bodytemperature nearly ten degrees.
Luckily, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck(敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. "Just to think," says Cruz, "if he hadn't beenthere, I could have died."
As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries aremaking the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people fromaround the world—for travelling, business, work or to live.
One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part ofNEOM is "The Line", a $725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 millionpeople. It is a mirrored (镜子) wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meterstall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.
At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive. The city area isno more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric publictransport service makes sure every part of "The Line" is within 20 minutes away.Unluckily, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical(垂直的) transportation would be needed, for it is just like a 125-floor building.
The project costs also seem OK at $55,000 per person. Let's say this isachievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure (基础设施). Even so, it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and mostadvanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can becost-effective.
The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable sources,waste water is reused, and it owns the latest "smart city"and mixed-use buildingtechnologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and publictransport.
However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big projectcould be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be morethan two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a liftWithout careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin thepleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.
