10、t is why it made November 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.But first, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, “Tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others fool that is the first law of nature.”Very often,

12、omen.It is worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we are speaking here?

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by ha

18、nd has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psyc

19、hology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks both on a computer and by hand.

27、fifth grade.DThe production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.

29、s. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.

30、ruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园)could mean t

31、he destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worlds climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil cond

32、itions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice.
