11．　　I taught a couple years ago in second grade as a student teacher. I was lucky enough to be with the(1)      class for an entire school year. In May, when I finished the teaching. I decided to buy star﹣shaped pieces of paper for each kid. I wrote on each piece "Miss Li thinks you're a (2)      because…" and then wrote a little fact about each child. I was not sure about doing this, since the kids were so young. But one of my friends(3)      that if the star meant something to one kid then it was worth my time.
　　One of the little girls, Megan, was diagnosed(确诊) with ADHD(小儿多动症)and was going through more(4)      to see if she had another learning problems. The thing about her was, though, that she was so(5)      . She was smart in her own way. On her star I wrote, "Miss Li thinks you're a star because you have an (6)      memory for names. I also think you're smart, and I really believe you can do anything if you try hard enough. "
　　After I (7)      the stars. I was standing in front of the classroom guiding the children with packing up the school things for the end of the day. Megan came up to me, (8)      her star in her hand.
　　"Hey, do you need me to read that for you, Megan?"I asked her.
　　"No", she replied, looking at me with smiling eyes. "I've already (9)      it." The she said, "You think I'm SMART?" It was like I was the first person to tell her that. It was like the thought had(10)      even crossed her mind until she read that star.
　　It was by far the single greatest moment, in my teaching life. Whenever I feel down in the classroom, I'll think of it.

14．　　Once upon a time, there was a king who was loved by his people. One day, the king planned to build a palace on the river bank. In a few days the palace was ready, and before bringing the king to show the palace, the minister wanted to take a final look first.
　　"Great!"the minister said, looking at the palace. Then suddenly his eyes fell on a hut (小屋) just a few steps away from the palace gate. "What is this hut doing here?" shouted the minister. " Sir, it belongs to an old woman."
　　"She has been living here for a long time, "replied a soldier.
　　The minister walked up to the hut and spoke to the old lady. "I want to buy your hut. Ask for anything. "he said.
　　"I am sorry, Sir. I can not accept your offer. My hut is dearer to me than my life,"the old lady said.
　　The minister tried to tell the old lady that her hut would make the new palace less beautiful. But the old lady refused to sell her hut to the king. The matter was then taken to the king. The king thought for a while, and then said, "Let the old lady have her hut where it is. It will only add to the beauty of the new palace."Then turning to the minister, the king told us not to forget what seems ugly to us may be valuable to someone else.

15．　　A wise man was walking from one town to another with a few of his followers, and they happened to pass a lake. So they stopped there to rest for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, "Could you please get me some water from the lake?"One of the follower walked to the lake. Some people were washing clothes in the water, and right at that moment, several carts (手推车) started crossing the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy.
　　Then he went back and told the wise man that the water was very muddy and not good to drink. After they had rested for about half an hour, the wise man again asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. As requested, the follower went to the lake. This time he found that all the mud had settled to the bottom. The water was very clear and looked fit to drink. So he filled his water bottle and took it to the wise man.
　　The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. "See what you did to make the water clean?" he said. "You let it be for a while and the mud settled down on its own, so that you could get some clear drinking water. Your mind can also be like that lake when it is disturbed by something. If you just let it be and give it a little time, it will most likely settle down on its own without putting in any effort at all to calm it. "

16．　　A lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.
　　In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.
　　A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa,
　　Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50﹣65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km,
　　Some fish migrate to breed(繁殖). Salmon(鲑鱼) can swim over 20, 000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river, Other fish can't eat them.
　　Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36 , 000 km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.

　　Do students like to do their homework on their phones?Zhang Hua, a 13﹣year﹣old boy from Fujian, said he doesn't. "Sometimes the apps can't recognize what I'm reading in English. I have to work on them for a long time to get a high score, "he said. (4)He said his eyesight has gotten worse since he started using apps to do his homework.
　　However, Wang Xidi, from Anhui, 15, enjoys doing homework on apps. "The apps have big databases(数据库)of math exercises!And I can revise(修改)my answers easily, "She said. "(5)But the bad part is that I can't help playing with other apps while doing my homewor."
　　Zhou Tianyi, 12, from Sichuan, also thinks it's fun to do homework with apps. Her teachers ask their students to dub(配音)English videos and make their own short videos. "But if I have too much other homework to do, I feel like it's too much for me to finish, "she said.

18．　　In most classes, students sit at desks and listen to teachers in a classroom. But in a new class at Chapman Middle School (CMS) in Kansas, US, students are leaving the blackboards behind for blue skies and green grass.
　　They are actually taking an outdoor life class. It is not a typical class, but teachers are trying it out. "We want kids to experience the outdoors, " the teacher John Harris said.
　　Twenty﹣six students will attend the semester long class. The class includes four parts:archery (射箭), hunter, life skills and fishing. Also, students will discuss protecting natural resources.
　　Before Harris' class this year, archery teacher Andy Fewin taught a 9﹣week outdoor life class. He believes everyone needs to "enjoy life" and "get outside".
　　"The outdoor life class aims to get the kids interested in coming to school, really enjoying their class time. " Harris said. But he said everyone needs to finish their other work first. "It really teaches them to focus and pay attention in class. If they don't, then they'll miss out on the fun things they're doing, " he said.
