Taking Part in School Activities

Many students are very interested in school activities ; they have their reasons . Firstly they think that learning from textbooks is not their only task. They believe that they should take every chance to get some practical knowledge. Secondly, they think that after long hours of study, they can relax themselves by taking part in school activities.

However, a large group of students take little interest in them and spend most of their time on studies. First, they believe that they should make full use of time to study. Second, they feel that school activities have little to do with their further development.

In my opinion, I prefer the first view. On one hand, we can learn a great deal from other students we meet in activities. Besides, the modern society requires of young students many qualities, so only learning from textbooks is not enough.

If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, ¡°Hey, Butterfly Man,¡± his face would break into a smile. The title suits him.£¬and he loves it.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back ¡ª thanks to him. But years ago if you¡¯d told him this was what he¡¯d be doing someday, he would have laughed, ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡± As a boy, he used to be ¡°a little tough guy on the streets¡±. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.

¡°I knew it had worried my mom,¡± Bonner said after he got out of prison. ¡°So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.¡±

One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(ÆÜÏ¢µØ) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.

¡°I saw the sign ¡®Butterfly Habitat¡¯ and asked, ¡®How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?¡¯¡± Bonner recalls. ¡°Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (·Å´ó¾µ), ¡®Look at the leaves.¡¯ I could see all these caterpillars(ºûµûµÄÓ׳æ) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ¡®Without the plant, there are no butterflies.¡¯¡±

Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he¡¯s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

The butterfly¡¯s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he¡¯s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.

The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(ƽ°åµçÄÔ) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.

The goal is to find out whether kids using today¡¯s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they¡¯re already amazed. ¡°What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,¡± said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.

The fastest learner¡ªand the first to turn on one of the tablets¡ªis 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device¡¯s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.

With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ¡°Seven months ago he didn¡¯t know any English. That¡¯s unbelievable,¡± said Keller.

The project aims to get kids to a stage called ¡°deep reading,¡± where they can read to learn. It won¡¯t be in Amharic, Ethiopia¡¯s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.

1.How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?

A. It trains teachers for them.

B. It contributes to their self-study.

D. It provides funds for building schools.

A. write letters to researchers.

B. draw pictures of animals.

A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.

B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.

C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.

D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.

In the past few years, many people found themselves trying really hard to hold on to jobs that they may not have wanted. 1. . Jobs data is improving, and the labor market seems to be picking up. Here are four signs that it might be time for you to move on.

1. You really hate the idea of going to work.

We all have days that we don¡¯t want to go in to work. We may even dislike what we do for work. But do you really hate the idea of going in? 2. .

2. You are concerned about the values of your boss and coworkers.

3. . However, if you find yourself questioning the values and ideals of those around you at work, it could be an indication that you are out of place. If you feel that you are not in line with your organization, it might be the time to move on.

3. You wish you had more challenging tasks.

For some people, easy work is preferred. 4. . However, you might wish for more challenging tasks. If you want to progress as a person, a job that doesn¡¯t provide you with an abundant challenge can be disheartening. Now that the economy is a little more stable, you can look around for a job that offers more satisfaction.

4. 5. .

If you feel left out of the culture at work, it might be a strong indication that you belong somewhere else. You want to be in a work environment that you feel a part of. If you have been with an organization for more than a few months, and you still feel somewhat awkward, it might be a sign that you need to find an organization where you integrate(ÈÚÈë) into the culture a little bit better.

A. You feel like an outsider.

B. It¡¯s a matter of working day in and day out.

C. Many of us have our own values and ideals.

D. However, now might be the time to find a new job.

E. The cultural aspects of your job are just as important as the technical aspects.

F. If this is the case, it might be the time to find a new job, or even start a business.

G. Now that the economy is tough, many of us are unwilling to rock the boat at work.
