On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school. When I first signed them up for forest school program, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly, they stared at me in confusion. They didn't understand my question, which fittingly removed it.
In this program, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to self- adjust. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
"What about all the things they're missing in real school?"concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it's a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close--a skill that's virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys' relationship with the outdoors. They're learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.
There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights, sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors. But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city. An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko，an Israeli（以色列的）company，began to be tested in Tel Aviv. The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature, it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes. While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while, most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power. After two years of development, the perfect solution to the problem was found. "We have invented a new generation of air conditioner,"Kinonko CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced, the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen（氮） and gas nitrogen. When liquid nitrogen at - 196 degrees turns into gas， it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. "It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing. Beyond the coolness of the concept, it also has other advantages. The work unit doesn't need to be power-driven, and doesn't blow out harmful warm air as it works. As for the potential price, it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner. In addition, the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days, depending on usage. This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses. The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.
Some of the best road trips are unplanned. You simply grab a few items, jump in a car and set off. However, this approach involves some risk. That's why the first rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have fun. Some food, a guitar, and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.
Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself. Some well-designed travel guides may be of great help. For the logically-minded, the management of speed, fuel, accommodation and timing details can present a rewarding journey.
Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing anything or meeting anyone. The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic highways, the more you're likely to get out of your trip.
Once you've figured out your plan roughly, fill in the details, and bear in mind that maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date. Remember, the more you prepare now, the better equipped you'll be if you decide to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip, especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation opportunities. In some areas, especially the American West, gas stations can be a hundred miles away.
A. You may end up in a boring part of town.
B. You can find this information online.
C. When planning your route, consider what kinds of roads to take.
D. Also, be sure to investigate fuel availability where you're headed.
E. It's good to take an emergency phone with you.
F. Research as much as possible and cross-reference your sources.
G. A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration.
When I retired, my wife Peg said "Great! You'll have time to clean the garage! "After 30 years' 1 as director of a radio station, I would finally have more time for housework, but I worried I'd lose the sense of 2 I had felt in my profession.
I pushed at the garage's wooden doors, but they were as 3 as I felt in this new stage of my life. I finally got the doors open and started to empty the shelves. Then my hand hit something 4 . It was a common old metal can. I 5 the cover and found a 6 envelope with a postmark of May 13, 1940 inside. 7 , I opened it and found some flower seeds in it, "Eighty years old! I wonder if they'll still grow. "
I 8 the seeds in a plastic pot. I checked it every day, but nothing happened. "I guess they're just too 9 to be any good, "I told Peg in 10 . I picked up the pot to get rid of it, but something made me 11 . I changed my mind and set it aside. Meanwhile, I was keeping 12 , buying some books to improve my photography skills and teaching my granddaughters everything I knew about gardening and dogs.
Six weeks later, I was out in the yard when I 13 to notice the pot. A new bit of green-a leaf had 14 . I proudly showed it off to my granddaughters. "Look, girls, even something this old can still 15 for its purpose and be pretty cool. Just like your grand- papa!"
Next week, I'll be traveling to Australia to visit a friend over the school holidays and I'm excited to explore this new country. I've already researched many iconic sites , (include) the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like koalas and kangaroos. But as a social study student, interests me most is experiencing the culture, food, and way of life of Australians and meeting new people. So far, my trip (take) me to Sydney, where my friend took me to my first open-air barbecue and introduced me to many of the country's delicious dishes. I've learned that many (type) Australian foods, like the Sunday roast, have British origins, but Asian influences have also led to new food introductions like bean curd and dim sim. I have traveled to Katherine as well , a town in Australia's Northern Territory, (learn )about the customs and ways of life of the Aborigines, the native people of Australia. their population may be small, their influence is still visible, as seen in the Aboriginal meaning of the name of Bondi Beach. The Aborigines' close connection with nature is seen in their music, like the didgeridoo, which (make) from a hollow tree branch and requires proper lip vibrations and air blowing techniques to play. I tried playing the didgeridoo but failed. As my trip comes to close, I am most impressed by the multicultural influences that have shaped the unique Australian culture, (contribute) by immigrants and minorities. The warmth and (friendly) of the Australian people have made me feel at home and I wholeheartedly agree with the tourism slogan, "There's nothing like Australia".

Ballet was a way of life in Kelly's family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college. Though Kelly's mom always wanted her to follow in her sister's footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet, her love for ballet had faded years before, and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school, as Kelly left the dance studio, she walked past the gym, fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she'd long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack. On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase: BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔). That was what Kelly really wanted to do. She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day, she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn't understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied,"You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right ? Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you're so good at ballet. Lean into your strength, Kelly. "
"But this is where I want to put my strength,"Kelly insisted,"and what exactly does‘only for boys' mean, anyway ? Boxing is a sport for everyone!"
Gradually, touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her. Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision, no matter what. But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout, where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn't come natural to Kelly, but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.
