20、lementary School.I was convinced (使信服) I wasnt “smart” like the other kids, and I hoped I could make it through fifth grade. Ms. Jambard took a great liking to me. Of all the subjects in school, reading was my favorite. She would tell me, “Terry, you keep reading. If you can understand what youre re

21、ading, youll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program, I started reading the classrooms set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书). I couldnt find enough to read, and I started to really like school.After I graduated from Ms. Jambards class in 1969, my brother and I moved,

22、 and I lost all touch with my teacher. In 1983, I was on a business trip and had to drive through Nashua. I took a chance and dropped by Charlotte Avenue Elementary.

27、he world today will be likely to die out by the next century, according the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been do

28、cumenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi and Their Culture, grows

29、 out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not

30、 content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now,

31、 through the two organizations that he has founded the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to schools but to the younger generations of communities from

35、protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report. DWhen it comes to sitting properly, we all know the correct way even if we don t do it to the letter. No crossed legs, bottoms touching the back of the chair and feet on the ground. But even if you re doing it right, sitting for long periods i

36、s shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new smoking, linked to heart disease and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better.A classic survey, published in 1953, described 100 different sitting postures adopted by 480 cultu

37、res around the world. Among the most common were sitting cross-legged, kneeling and the deep squat (深蹲), with feet flat on the ground and bottoms resting on or just above it. Even in Western cultures, these are preferred sitting positions among young children. But Westerners tend to prefer chair use

38、 from an early age, insisting children sit on seats in school.One big problem with this desire for chairs is that they make sitting so, well, sedentary (久坐不动的).

40、found that kneeling can help keep the spine in a better position as does squatting. We might also take inspiration from traditional cultures like the Hadza. Use a variety of postures and preferably not just still postures but some which allow movement, says Bettany-Saltikov.Bettany-Saltikov believes

41、 that we should be rethinking what it means to do a desk job. We still need to design workplaces that enable people to be productive while being lightly active, like with under-table cycling or walking desks, she says. For now, if your job is sedentary, don t forget to stand up regularly and move ar
