[2]Dave Weiss is a retired engineer. One day each week he volunteers at Georgian Forest Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, near Washington. He works with teacher Fred Tenyke on science projects for ten years and gets as much pleasure from helping the teachers as he does helping the students.

He notes that science is an area in which many elementary school teachers have _________experience.In elementary school, for the most part, a regular classroom teacher is responsible for teaching science, along with reading and math, and if they don't have a strong science background, just by nature, they're going to tend to underrepresent science in the curriculum.

〔1〕"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment.
" If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
〔2〕Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a
job in radio, then work my way up to a sports announcer. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time.
〔3〕In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said.
〔4〕I returned home to Dixon, Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father
said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department.
Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But ______ _ .
〔5〕My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad
offered me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a
wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
〔6〕As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be a sports
announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
〔7〕I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said about
sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to
broadcast an imaginary game. I got the job!
〔8〕On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: …

                                                              A poet is in his words
     The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership
is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
    Still, in British schools, _____ to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the
result is boredom, resentment or both. Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen-for many of the young,
reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine, especially when people are at an age when they are
beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence.
     This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change
of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers,
so I turned to books to find them.
     I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China. I have
never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don't read books.
     You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane
Austen's Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest
in the classic.
     Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual play. If that is
the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare
is a poet and his greatness is in his language. Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling (剥皮)
a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.
