Yesterday my daughter and I met friends at a parking lot to sell them some of our eggs. It was a cold day. I didn′t even want to go outside.

As we pulled into the parking lot, there was a man sitting on the roadside, holding his bike, and holding up a piece of paper with “will work for food” on it.

He was still sitting there as we left the parking lot, and I asked my daughter, “Should we get him some food or some money?” She said, “Of course, Mum.”

So I pulled up next to him, got out of the car, and gave him all my money from selling eggs. I still had another dozen eggs in the car, and asked if he wanted them. but he said no. He said he still had half a dozen and he didn′t want to waste things.

I felt frozen all over just standing there talking with him for a minute, and he must feel very cold because he sat there all the time.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi′an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything got easier, "said Guo. When students finish the homework, they keep it on Wechat(微信).Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone.

Students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by e-mail, QQ and Wechat. When Guo scans(扫描)his students′ QR codes. their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo′s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, because it makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo′s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is necessary to try to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don′t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it′s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework which doesn′t take them too much time.

Is there anything more important than health? I don′t think so. You can′ t be good at your studies or work when you are ill. If you have a headache, or a bad cough, or a high temperature and a bad cold, I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse(脉), sound your heart and lungs(肺), and take your temperature. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enioy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn′t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor′s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “It′s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

Why are your study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others?1.Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型) and Kinesthetic(动觉型).

2.If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs and videos, you are probably a visual learner. 3. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead if you find that works better for you.

Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. 4. It’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow yourfriend’s notes to copy.

5. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.
