Anne responded on May 20, 2009

Julie, most of us are never going to achieve the heights you did as the CEO of a company.I just want to say that I was so touched by your transparency (坦诚).I haven’t been attacked publicly ever like you, but I’ve suffered from depression—just recently in fact.It helps a lot to hear personal stories, and it helped to read how you might have handled things differently.

Nancy responded on May 21, 2009

Something in Julie drew her to artwork during a very dark time in her journey.And later she stated that it’s beauty that keeps her going.Beauty and creativity can be very powerful in our lives.And it doesn’t surprise me that Julie was drawn to these naturally.Anne, maybe the artistic kinds of activities Julie used will support you well as you move beyond the depressive feelings you’re dealing with.

Anne responded on June 4, 2009

Nancy, thanks so much for taking the time to offer some great ideas for using creativity to help with depression.Actually during this time I’ve found that my creative work has been the one thing that’s brought me a lot of joy.

Julie responded on June 2, 2009

Nancy, thank you for your insights (深刻见解).Warmly, Julie.

Chris responded on May 31, 2009

Julie responded on June 9, 2009

Thanks, Chris.

How to deal successfully with a child who shows outstanding musical abilityIt’s not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift.Many parents may even fail to recognise and respond to their children’s need until frustration explodes into difficult or uncooperative(不合作的) behaviour.And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are specially able in academic subjectsthe musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school—especially one where music is regarded as a secondary activity.Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.

The five music schools in Britain are a relatively recent introduction.They aim to provide an environment in which gifted children aged between seven and eighteen can develop their skills to the full under the guidance of professional musicians.

Children at specialist music schools spend between one third and one half of an average day on musical activitiesfor exampleindividual lessonsorchestraschamber(室内音乐的) groupsvoice trainingconducting and theory.They also spend several hours a day practising in properly equipped private roomssometimes with a teacher.The rest of their time is taken up with the subjectsEnglishmathsbasic sciences and languages.All five British specialist schools are independentclasses are small by normal school standardswith a high teacher/pupil ratio(比率)Most children attending specialist schools tend to be boardersleaving home to liveeat and sleep full?time at school.

What are the disadvantagesAn obvious problem is the costthe fees are high(12,000?17,000 a year for boarders)Howevereach school will make every effort with scholarships and other forms of financial assistanceto help parents of outstandingly gifted children to find the necessary fees.Secondlynot all parents want to send their children to boarding schoolespecially at a very early age.Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such an intense and disciplined(守纪律的) environment.They stresshoweverthat their main aim is to turn out “rounded and well?balanced” individuals.

There is little doubt that setting musically gifted children apart from an early age can cause stress.Early signs of musical ability may disappear in their teenage yearswhile natural competitiveness and the pressure to succeed can lead to a deep sense of failure.But all specialist schools do keep a close watch on the progress of individual pupilsand offer help and advice if needed.

1.If a child’s musical ability is not recognized________.

Athe child may misbehave

Bthe ability may fade away

Cthe child may lose interest

Dthe parents may become anxious

2.What problem may musically gifted children face in ordinary schools?

ATheir academic work may suffer.

BSchools lack musical equipment.

CMusic is not seen as an important subject.

DParents and teachers do not work together.

3.What makes specialist music schools different from other schools?

ATheir working day is longer.

BA range of musical training is offered.

CMore than half the day is spent on music.

DThe children have mostly one?to?one lessons.

4.What do most school directors see as a possible disadvantage for pupils?

APoor children may not be included.

BThey may lose their individuality.

CThere may be a discipline problem.

DThey may not be mature enough on arrival.

    Guiding students through open-ended discussions can help students develop their understanding of the nature of science.

    One useful practice in classroom discussions involves developing a discussion map. A discussion map is a graphic timeline created by the teacher on which a discussion is recorded --- who initially states the idea and who adds to or refuses the idea.

    Discussion maps let teachers gain a deep understanding of students’ level of participation, the origins of ideas, and the claims that seem meaningful, useful, and/or reasonable to students. They also give the teacher an idea of students’ science thoughts of phenomena and ideas.

    To make a discussion map, the teacher needs to do a couple of things. First, the teacher needs to keep informed of the ideas that are shared and who shared the idea. The teacher does this as the children talk, making quick notes of the ideas and thoughts. It can be helpful to record the discussion, but it isn’t required. Then, after the discussion is over, the teacher reflectively creates the discussion map to clarify the understanding of the ideas and connections that students were making in their talk.

    Educators have identified discussions as consistent with reform recommendations in that they help children learn about the nature science and are useful in combining literacy and science. It is suggested that discussions can be useful for teachers in evaluating students’ ideas and building excitement as science. Discussions offer windows on students’ thinking, provide students who struggle in reading and writing with a chance to participate more actively in class, and create situations where students can express their ideas differently than in traditional schools tasks.

    However, I suggest that there are additional reasons for having reasoned discussions in classrooms. First, discussions like this allow students to use their own vocabulary --- the words and terms that make sense to them and their classmates --- to drive the intellectual and academic work of understand phenomena. Many times learning science can become focused on learning terms but not necessarily understanding and explaining phenomena. Second, discussions allow students to think about their experiences and the things that they know and try to reconcile these with science ideas. This is challenging, but working together with classmates can help. Finally, reasoned discussions are fundamentally scientific because they offer an open forum that allows all students to be heard, and students’ ideas can be evaluated and connected to their experiences with scientific explanations of those phenomena. For example, during the children’s reasoned discussion about plants, the group came to the agreement that seeds grow into plants. The students understood that most seeds get buried in the ground, the seeds get wet, and then plants grow. This led to a question about whether the seed was still in the ground when the plant had grown into an adult plant. The students came up with several ideas about where the seeds were. During this conversation, the teacher took careful notes so that later investigations could respond to the questions that children were asking. Thus the students were working together using their ideas and understandings and realized something as a group that they didn’t understand as individuals.

Discussion maps make sense!

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’ s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.

A.not sticks and stones but words will hurt us

B.inspiring words give us confidence

C.negative words may let us down

D.words have a lasting effect on us

A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

B.we can benefit from talking to ourselves

C.talking to ourselves always gives us courage

D.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone

3.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______

A.praise ourselves                        B.remind ourselves

C.make ourselves relaxed                  D.give ourselves amusement

4. The author would probably hold the view that ___________

A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

B.negative words may stimulate(刺激) us to make more progress

C.people tend to remember friendly words

D.it is better to think twice before talking to others
