4．I will never forget that unusual day!I kept hearing a strange noise while I was driving down a mountain in my car，so I stopped on the dirty road to check．There was a little green head looking at me in my backpack．
"What are you doing there，little frog？"I said to myself．Well，you can imagine my surprise when I heard this frog answering me in the voice of a frog．"Madam，I love to travel so much that I just can't control myself when I see a backpack．"
I just looked at him with my mouth open and didn't know what to say．
"Oh，dear Madam，"continued the frog，"I am Mongy．Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you，too!You can call me Christa．How is it possible that I can hear you，Mongy？"
"You wanted to get to know nature and the living things in the world，and you started paying attention to nature．Most people never pay attention to nature，so they only listen when they are young．But you heard the voices of nature calling you．You went even further than that and you tried to get along well with nature．That's why you can hear me now．"
It was at this moment that my life changed and I suddenly knew what my destiny （命运） would be from that day on．

16．Welcome to the 21st century classroom：a world where students watch lectures at home---and do homework at school．It's called classroom flipping （翻转教室），and it's slowly catching on in schools around the country．
When Jessica Miller sits down to do her chemistry homework，she pulls out her notebook．Then she turns on an iPad to watch a video podcast．Whenever the instructor changes the slide，Miller pauses the video and writes down everything on the screen．
Miller can replay parts of the chemistry podcast she doesn't understand，and fast forward through those that make sense．Then she takes her notes to class where her teacher can review them．
Back in the classroom，chemistry teacher Jennifer Goodnight walks up and down the rows of desks giving verbal quizzes，guiding students through labs and answering questions．
Goodnight is one of about five teachers flipping their classroom at this small school．"The effort is a paying off with better test scores"，she says．
"If they're going to have their iPads all the time，might as well put a lecture on it．So on their way home from school，on the bus or wherever they can maybe watch your lecture for homework that night．It's truly about meeting them where they are at，and realizing that the 21st century is different．The whole concept of just sitting and listening to a lecture is really getting outdated，and students are just not buying into that anymore．"
Jerry Overmyer，creator of the Flipped Learning Network for teachers，agrees．And while the video component of the program seems to get the most attention，he says what really matters is how teachers use classroom time．
"It's about that personalized face-to-face time．Now that you're not spending all of class time doing lectures，you're working one on one with students，"Overmyer says．"How are you going to use that time？"
Back in Colorado，parent Denise Patschke once questioned classroom flipping videos when her son first came home from school with one．But as time went on，she began to watch them．
"I can listen to the video as well when they need help，and then I can try to help him understand what the teacher is saying，"Patschke says．

15．A policeman is questioning 3blondes （金发女人） who are training to become detectives．To test their skills in recognizing a suspect （嫌疑犯）．He shows the first blonde a picture for 5seconds and then hides it．
"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"
The first blonde answers，"That's easy．We'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"The policeman says，"Well…uh…that's because the picture shows his profile （侧面轮廓）．"
Slightly confused by this ridiculous response，he flashes the picture for 5seconds at the second blonde and asks her，"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"
The second blonde giggles，flips her hair and says，"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds，"What's the matter with you two？Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!Is that the best answer you can come up with？"
Extremely frustrated at this point，he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks，"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"He quickly adds，"Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says，"Hmm…the suspect wears contact lenses （隐形眼镜）．"
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not．"Well，that's an interesting answer…Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that．"He leaves the room and goes to his office，checks the suspect's file in his computer，and comes back with a beaming smile on his face．"Wow!I can't believe it…it's true!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses．Good work!How were you able to make such an acute observation？"
"That's easy，"the blonde replies．"He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"
