Holmes is a barber (理发师). He gives free haircuts to kids if they can read out loud to him.
Holmes finds that not every parent has time to1their kids. So he hopes to give some2in this way. "I have two sons of my own, so I want to support kids reading," Holmes said.
The kids would choose a3, sit into the barber chair, and read aloud4Holmes was cutting their hair. After the haircut, they would review the texts and words, just like in school.
7-year-old Tim usually speaks with5. As a result, Holmes let Tim take the book home and6by himself. When Tim came back several days later, he7its words without any problems.
Holmes is8the result, and he hopes that the whole country could9his way. He thinks that other barbers could put a poster (海报) in their windows. On the poster, a barber is cutting a kid's hair who is reading a book. Then everyone will-know, "Oh, that's a storybook barbershop. Let's take our10there."
Although the journey will be long, you can't beat the person who never gives up.

A If we laid all of the blood vessels (血管) in the human body end to end, they would reach about 100,000 km long. That's nearly two and a half times around Earth! |
B For the first time, CocaCola has showed that it uses 3,000,000 tons of plastic bottles each year. That's the weight of 15,000 blue whales the largest animal on Earth! | C If your throat tickles (发痒), pressing your ear might make it go away. That's because-your throat and ears share the same group of nerves (神经). When you press your ear, the nerves in your throat can feel it. |
| D It takes about 7 to 8 trees to make enough O2 for one person to breathe for a year. Each person needs around 750 kg of O2 every year. A large tree might make around 100 kg of O2 every year. | E To young children, a year might seem to last forever. But older people might say that it flies by. Why is that? According to the US scientists, young people's brains deal with information faster than older people. They take in more information and do more things in a day. So they feel like each day lasts longer. However, older people's brains take in less information and see a day, pass more quickly. | F About 200 muscles (肌肉) work together when you take a step. That's a lot of work for your muscles, since many people take, about 10,000 steps a day. If you want to get some easy exercise, walking is good for you. |
Last weekend, I took Lucy to a park, where she discovered a track (小路) with large bumps (凸块) and sharp turns. At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bumps.
Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie (新手). I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking—this is going to be terrible. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn't be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.
But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn't find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because other younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park in order to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat (平坦的) ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn't want to leave, and everyone was cheering her on.
This was not a day that ended terribly. It was a day when Lucy learned that holding-on spirit pays off.
Personal computers and Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but the new technology will also let them communicate more with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
Email makes it easy to work at home. I spend most weekends and evenings at home. My working hours aren't much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before email became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share ideas with a group of friends. Say you do something fun—see a great movie perhaps, and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you use a telephone to call each one, you may be tired of telling the story. With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and send it to all the friends you think might be interested almost at the same time. They can read your message when they have time and read only as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they say at your convenience.
Email is also an inexpensive way to communicate with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to communicate with their children at college every day.
We just have to, keep in mind that computers and Internet offer another way of communicating. They don't take the place of any of the ways.
When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go into?
Some of you might not be able to answer the questions. However, it's quite important to know how to sort (分类) your waste.
If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾场) and be buried (埋葬) together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could be used for planting trees. Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a per, can be used to make into other things if they are properly recycled.
Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish.
The red is for harmful waste which includes things like medicine, batteries and so on. The blue is for waste like paper, metal, glass, and other things that can be recycled. yellow is for other dry waste like plastic bags. Dry waste is not wet, recyclable, or harmful.

A man named Bill once visited a temple that was still being. He saw a sculptor (雕刻家) making a sculpture (雕塑). As he watched the man work on the sculpture, he noticed that there was a similar sculpturenearby.
He felt strange and asked the sculptor, "Why are you creating two same sculptures? Do you need two to put in different?"
"No" the man said without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one became damaged (损害) before I could finish it, so I'm working on a new one."
Bill picked up the damaged sculpture and examined it. But he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
"Where is the damage?" he asked.
"There is a scratch (划痕) on the sculpture's nose," the sculptor said whilehis work.
Bill then asked, "Where are you going to place the sculpture?"
The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a platform (平台) which is 20 feet in height. "If the sculpture is up that high, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose?" Bill asked
The sculptor stopped his work, looking up at the man and said, "I will know it."
The sculptora high level of excellence in his work. Heto work or the new one. Even if other people didn't notice it, it mattered to him that his work should be thequality (质量). This is an attitude we should work hard to have.
Doing experiments (实验) is one of the most interesting things about studying chemistry. In some countries, it's often teachers who do the experiments in the front of the class with students watching. But in the UK, students take action by themselves.
Mrs. Zurolo, a chemistry teacher, usually gives the students a piece of instruction paper the night before the laboratory class and lets them read it. During the class, she first goes over the steps and then puts all the students into groups of two to do the experiments. What's special is that for every laboratory class, Mrs. Zurolo changes everyone's laboratory partner so that students can work with different classmates.
The class is often filled with screams (尖叫) and laughs. Once the students rid to bur chemicals (化学品) and watch the colors of the fires. Different chemicals produced different colors of fires, including bright orange and dark green. Many students in the class were very surprised. "Wow! That's so beautiful!" they screamed. In that class, the students excitedly took pictures with their phones and posted them online.
After finishing an experiment, the students need to write a laboratory report that includes the steps and the students' watching. And of course, the final results are also included in the report. The laboratory reports are important. They are marked and make up about 25 percent of the grade.
①a something that a person or group does
②р to make or create something; to cause something to happen
The class is often filled with screams and laughs.

When we say someone is in a blue mood (情绪), it means he or she is unhappy or sad. Are you feeling a little blue? Here are some fast and easy ways to cheer you up.
Exercise
When you exercise, your brain gives out a chemical (化学品) called endorphin (内啡肽), This chemical makes you feel happy. That is why exercise is good for you.
Have a talk
If something or somebody is troubling you, don't quarrel (争吵) with other people. It is a good idea to have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend or a family member. Learn to tell them your feelings, and it's a useful way to make you feel better.
Have some hobbies
For example, playing pop music or drawing something will make you smile. Act like an artist. Draw, paint, or make something. Being active and creative makes you feel more satisfied and less nervous.
Laugh more
Laughing is the best way to improve your moods. It is said that children laugh 400 times a day, and adults only laugh 20 times a day. What happens? Experts say if we laugh more, we will be happier and healthier.
Think positively (积极地)
Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful scene or a time. Never think about anything terrible that you can't change. What's more, leave your room, go outside and do your favorite things. Sun and fresh air are good for you. Be a kid for a day. Play games, watch comedy movies or read jokes online
