It has all the functions for dai

9、ly life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（过道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. Thats because the carrier is designed for res

10、earching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck. For visitors, its so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of fema

16、lled digital learning.Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are threeimportant kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications (应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two kinds are social networking services, including wei

17、bo and WeChat and websites. Every one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school.Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is also varied. It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers s

18、tudents the newest resources (资源) to learn from.Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you dontmaster what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to lea

24、hers go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his student everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students eve

25、rything they want to know. In modern world, the teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than memorize some fa

26、cts or a formula. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didnt get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didnt even finish primary

32、 an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps（带子）to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags. But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks be

33、cause of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children dont stay with over 15%, because their bod

34、ies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance（平衡）and falling down with their school bags.” He said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night.

Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers lov

38、e food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some dont have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some dont have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent su

39、rvey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didnt follow a healthy diet（饮食）. They didnt like vegetables, and many of them didnt like to eat fruits.

51、rent from other projects.

52、hese low-income childrens homes.”Today, the project has spread to eight communities (社区) in five states.

57、like to study at an American university in China? With the news that New York University (NYU) is considering setting up a branch（分校）on Chinese mainland, the possibility of getting an American education becomes a reality. But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching? On

58、e that encourages debate（辩论）, discussion and critical thinking (批判思维)； one which puts little attention on rote learning. You know how kids ask questions all the time? Asking questions shows they are curious (好奇). So when does that natural curiosity get weak? Not at kindergarten or nursery, nor at pr

59、imary school. As you grow older perhaps refusing to draw attention to yourself by asking the teacher questions, you grow quiet.

61、eachers. There was often a regular meeting between teachers and some students. A student would prepare a paper on a subject and the other students would criticize it. It could be frightening. But it was a way of developing critical thinking.We need to differentiate critical thinking with loudmouths.

62、 Weve all come across loudmouths who speak out quickly as if they knew what they were talking about. I know one loudmouth who is paid a great deal of money by a British tabloid newspaper to entertain readers with his deeply-held prejudices(偏见). You might not agree with columnist(专栏作家) Richard Little

63、john, but you have to say that he is entertaining and there is an internal logic（内在的逻辑）to his statements. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking.My wife doesnt have a logical mind, but she does have emotional intelligence（情商）. I cant say that I have anything like her emotional inte

64、lligence. but Id like to think some of it rubbed off on me. If you cant at least try to put yourself in someone elses shoes, how can you understand their situation, their problems and issues?So try to develop your powers of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And dont b

BDancing. CCrying. DShouting.Passage eleven You are given many chances in life to choose to

74、 be a victim(受害者) or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, t

75、hen internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are persons who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this

76、 get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed fo

77、r emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same problems, yet their experience of life is different worlds. Victims are easy to be in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too.

78、 Creators choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire（鼓舞）not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to decide the direction of their lives.In fact, all of us play the victim or the creator at different points in our lives. One person, on lo

79、sing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and go into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the sadness, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative strength

80、in his life.In every moment and every situation, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear goal to change the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.1.
