Of all my teachers, Mr Smith is the one who impress me most. While he is in his 40s, he looks very young for his age. Compare with other teachers, he pays many attention to the way of teaching. He tries various way to make his classes lively and interested. In his opinion, we should not only know “what it is”, but to understand “why it is so”. He encourages us to think independently instead giving us the answer to a question immediate. Under his guidance, we've learned what to solve problems. He is so learned a person that we all admire her.
I like taking photos very much. Once I travelled by ship a cloudy morning. It was in the afternoonthe weather turned fine. Therefore, I wanted to take some (photo). I was looking around and I saw next to me a lovely little girl sitting on her father's shoulders.was lucky for me (meet) such a perfect moment—the girl was smiling and the surrounding view was beautiful. Without (think), I took a picture oflittle girl at that moment.
Her mother was(surprise) that a stranger was photographing her daughter. I explained that I was moved by that sight and showed them the photo on my digital(数字的) camera. They loved it very much. I said I could email it to them when I got home. (Final), they gave me their email address. The next day, I (send) them their daughter's photo as I had promised.
While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created," he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are," said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
The site of Sanxingdui is recognized as one of the most important ancient ruins(date) back 4,800 years. Chinese archaeologists launched a second excavation in March after 35 years, which has brought(grow) interest to this ancient land.
Travelers from across the country(come) to get a glimpse of the prehistorical mysteries on the first day of China's five-day Labor Day holiday this year. The museum,(situate) in the northeast of the Sanxingdui site, looks to make the tour more(enjoy) by rolling out over 300 different types of cultural and(create) products. Unearthed from Sanxingdui's No.2 pit, the ivory beads arethe shape of a long drum, painted with black circles.

Skin is not only large, but it is important. One of its jobs is to protect us, keeps bad things out. But sometimes it fails. (extreme) small bugs, called mites, can get under our skin. And when they do, they cause itching and great discomfort. So, to get under someone's skin means to annoy them or to bug them. That's just one definition of the (express) "to get under someone's skin." It can also mean that someone is very (attract) to you. You can't stop thinking about them. You might even be obsessing (着迷)about them.
There are many ways (describe) people using the word "skin." If someone is thick-skinned they are not easily hurt emotionally. You can criticize them or be unkind to them and it simply rolls off their back. Thin-skinned people, , are easily hurt by criticism, even if it is not too severe. You have to be careful about you say to thin-skinned people so as not to hurt their feelings.
If someone is suddenly very (scare), you can say they nearly jumped out of their skin! For example, one day I saw my friend Sierra (wait) at a bus stop. She was wearing headphones and did not hear me come up behind her. So, when I (touch) her shoulder, she nearly jumped out of her skin!
Teaching children to empathize with others measurably improves their creativity, and could potentially lead to several other benefits, new research suggests.
The findings are from a year-long University of Cambridge study with Design and Technology (D&T) year 9 pupils at two London schools. Pupils at School A spent the year following the standard curriculum, while School B's D&T lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools to foster students? creativity and empathy in solving real-world problems.
Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking: a well-established psychological test.
The results showed a significant increase in creativity among pupils at School B. At the start, the creativity scores of pupils in School A were 11% higher than those at School B. By the end, however, creativity scores from School B were 78% higher.
Pupils from School B again scored higher in categories such as "emotional expressiveness" and "open-mindedness",indicating an improvement in empathy was driving the overall creativity scores.
Meanwhile, the study suggests encouraging empathy can deepen pupils' general engagement with learning. They found that boys in School B showed an improvement in emotional expression, scoring 64% higher at the end of the year than at the start,while girls improved more regarding cognitive empathy,showing 62% more perspective-taking.
The research is part of a long-term cooperation between the Faculty of Education and the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, led by Bill Nicholl and Ian Hosking. "Teaching for empathy has been problematic despite being part of the National Curriculum for over two decades. It's vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow." said Nicholl.

I noticed two male bluebirds. They appeared to be helping a female with a group of newly-born birds. I wanted to know if one of the males was an invader (入侵者). This is the fun of bird watching — you never know when you'll find something exciting and unusual.
Like 90% of the bird world, one male bluebird pairs with only one female, and together they raise a family. But sometimes a third adult shows up and helps the pair raise the young. Often it is a relative. The most likely reasons a lone bluebird becomes a "helper bird" are that it either has lost its mate (配偶) or failed to get one during the mating season.
Both the mated pair and the helper get some advantages when helping happens. Every time the helper brings food to the nest (巢), one of the parents is free to take care of its own needs for a few minutes. Helpers also protect the nest by driving away possible enemies. The helper's gain is less direct but equally valuable. He or she (helpers can be male or female) learns how to be a parent. Though raising babies is natural, skilled parents usually are more successful.
The Florida scrub jay is a kind of bird living in the U.S. state of Florida. Many pairs of Florida scrub jays "have" one to six helpers. Usually the helpers are older children, and they do their job very well. Nests with helpers have 50% more young than nests without helpers (about half the jays don't use helpers). Helping in scrub jays seems related to a shortage of nesting habitats. Young jays must wait for older birds to die to get a nest. During the time, they help raise their younger brothers and sisters.

My dream is to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever because I’ll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.
