阅读理解My friend and I recently took an art class together through our town's community education program.Our classmates were a mix of ages,stages of life,and experience with making art.We stood out in the class—not for our artistic talent,but for our consistent encouragement of ourselves,each other,and the group.It got me thinking how encouragement had become a routine. It became something of a joke between the two of us to compliment(赞美)each other,offer a positive comment when another student showed his or her work,and generally chat around the table about how fun our project was going.But reflecting back,our positivist was anything but a joke.It was a bright light in my week,a space where I knew I could be surrounded with kindness,gentleness,and positivist. Here's the most special thing about it;my friend's and my positive conversation wasn't just encouraging,it was true,We didn't go for cheap or false compliments like,"This painting should be in a museum!"Instead,we went for authentic(真实的)expressions of support and encouragement,like,"I love how you did that cloud!" Over time,the class became something of a sacred space,because we had made a habit of using encouraging,supportive language.Sentence-starters like,"I like,""I appreciate,""I want to try,"kept us present,positive,and honest. The encouragement also kept us engaged in the work of making art.I feel sure that I learned more—and practiced more at home—because the activity was shown in such consistently positive terms,grounded in a growth mindset,self-acceptance,and encouragement. Having a friend to share an encouragement habit is fantastic,but you can practice it on your own as well.Compliment yourself in the mirror every morning.Keep a running"great work. "list of thing? you are doing well today.Trust in your ability to find something loving—and true-to comment today and every day.

阅读理解Polar bears are icons of the Arctic.Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find,we are missing critical data about population size.Scientists have now developed a new tool to help:DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears' footprints in the snow. The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny,degraded DNA samples.With these techniques,it isn't necessary to physically capture bears,which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans.Instead,the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing—environmental DNA. "The tracks usually contain fresh cells,and the DNA is intact because of the cold' storage' temperature,"said Dr.Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund,lead author. The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled,confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型) 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled.The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA,then carried out micro-satellite analysis.Although the concentrations (浓度)of DNA taken from trucks sampled in the wild were very low,13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype,identifying 12 different individuals. This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals,to better understand their populations and behavior.Although the sampling has a lower success rate,ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes. "We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community,with the involvement of hunters,volunteers,and local communities,as a new way to collect information on polar bears,"said Lancaster."We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments."

What do you see in the image?The image can be challenging to interpret,and most people need a clue to see the pattern.It shows a Dalmatian dog.An interesting aspect of this experience is that once you've perceived the pattern,you can't unset the dog. Whether we like it or not,our brains look for patterns in various contexts.Much of our everyday understanding is linked to the concepts we lean in school and through interaction with others.On top of this,there are learned cultural patterns to interpret works of art,music,poems,etc.Once we know the patterns,they profoundly influence how we perceive cultural products.So we see the world through patterns we have acquired. These patterns can be applied in all forms of teaching.The great benefit of seeing a pattern in an area of knowledge is that it can be applied to new problems.A student who has understood a pattern can not only answer questions taken directly from the learning material but can use it in other types of tasks.The key question,therefore,is how a student can discover the relevant patterns and create real understanding. There are different ways to highlight patterns.Analogies(类比)are powerful tools for creating understanding.An example is the number line(数轴)in elementary mathematics. When children learn addition,it is easy for concrete combinations of objects:three apples plus two apples make five apples.The same is true for subtraction(减法):If you have six apples and remove four,you are left with two. But this doesn't work when it comes to negative numbers.How do you explain that if you have three apples and remove five,two are missing?Then,an effective analogy is to see the number line as something you walk along—the line becomes a path.Addition with three is like walking three steps forward,and subtraction with five is like walking five steps backward. No wonder that if you walk three steps forward and then five steps back,you are two steps behind where you started. In this way,the negative numbers acquire a meaning rooted in experience.More patterns of numbers can now be understood.
