51、n since March, according to a statement by the government of Yueyang City, which is located on the lakes shore. Another six dead porpoises have been found in Poyang Lake in the eastern province of Jiangxi since the beginning of the year. Experts warn that the species will be extinct within a matter

52、of years.Wang Kexiong, a researcher at Chinas Institute of Hydrobiology, said water pollution, shipping and sand dredging (挖掘) were all possible contributing factors to the recent deaths.Many rivers in China have become heavily polluted with poisonous waste from factories and farms pollution blamed

53、on more than three decades of rapid economic growth and slow enforcement (实施) of environmental protection laws.The report said climate change also could be to blame as the dry weather has caused water levels to drop and makes it more difficult for the porpoises to find food.

58、rtance of raising them in labsDIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get-a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself th

59、at I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen - teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in

60、 late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-gra

61、de class - seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs

62、 and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evide

63、ntly ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seems reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good be

64、havior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasnt happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in

65、 the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he woul

66、d let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.Whe

67、n he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them”. he repeated.” No wonder they are bored. Why not get to the meat of literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their

68、bad behavior”? We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacherAs the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weakn

69、esses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emersons words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school

70、 is my home now.66.

79、who dont have legs at all. An attitude of gratitude is so important! Start your morning by looking in the mirror and telling yourself how beautiful you are.
