“We cannot think of anyone who is more deserving of such an honor．He is a very special individual”, said one of his students．
In April 2009, Greg Perry accepted the first annual Heart of Green Local Hero Award, for his work to develop, with his high school students, the Green Dream and the Ultimated Green Classroom．At the time of the awards, he was unsteady, having just been through intense chemotherapy．His work as a teacher is an inspiration, as is his recovery, and his acceptance speech．We’re happy to say that Greg is back in the classroom－which is good th ing for him, for his students and for the wider community．Here’s his story．
At the age of 6 he was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident．He was told he would never walk, never play football and never feed himself．He proved the doctors wrong! He can do all these things and much more．His determination continues to thrive．
Greg Perry graduated from Ohio State University with a joint degree in marketing and education．To him, the education degree was just a bulwark against the recession, so there are probably few peiole as surprised as Perry that before the age of 40, he would have drawn national attention for his teaching, orchestrated the building of a model classroom and inspired his students to launch the largest green business expo ever staged in Ohio．
Perry teaches an innovative high school marketing class in Beachwood, Ohio, a city of about 12,000 in the Cleveland suburbs．Students from several area schools commute to Beachwood High School for a class unlike any other．He has led the class of 18 to create the “ULTIMATE GREEN CLASSROOM”．Under his direction the largest Eco–Friendly Showcase in Ohio was held and approximately $ 150,000 was raised in Green goods and services to build the unbelievable classroom．Elected executive officers help Perry run the class, and for much of the year, the focus is on lining of exhibitors for The Green Dream, the green business expo that is expected to draw more than 6,000 people this Spring．
“Sales people are making phone calls to line up exhibitors in the expo．Finance is handling the contracts and payments．Marketing and Communications and Publications and Websites are trying to promote the message．” Perry said．“it’s more like a day at work than a day at the classroom．By doing these large projects, they learn about branding, advertising, management styles and marketing techniques without every picking up the textbooks．”

As a teenager I was a productive letter writer． One letter I wrote
1 ．to56pages, and was 2 ．of the extremely ordinary details (微不足道的事) of daily life． It could only have been of interest to me, and maybe, the receiver． But then, 3 , it might become attractive just because of the 4 details it recorded．
Official records of history-books and pictures--may record important events 5 they were always intended to have a large audience． 6 , letters tend not to be modified (修) , often true to 7 ． They were, after all, 8 for just one pair of eyes．
Sadly, however, we don t write proper letters any more． Not only that, but, it's a fact that nowadays hardly anyone 9 to the letters they have receivedWe think only about 10 living and throwing things out． Who among us will leave any helpful papers for historians? In researching a book, I would never have found out that, in the late 19 th century, showy(花枝招展) waistcoats caused a lot of 11 , if I hadn't read the 12 ． One fellow even wrote to a friend to say that if he were to ever meet a man wearing a kind of showy clothes he 13 shoot the man on sight．
What a 14 if such details were lost due to lack of letter writing and a little saving． I think we should all 15 to write at least one letter a month any try to 16 those we get．
17 good emails should be printed out and kept, too． Emails may not leave an example of our handwriting, but 18 they allow us to record our lives． Some years ago, a friend 19 me with a bundle of letters that I'd sent her since I was 16 ． They gave a wonderful 20 of my teenage． History will need to know this, I'm sure．

A rccent study of anclent and modern clcphants has come up with the uncxpeclcd conclusion that the african elcphant is dividcd into two disinct(不同的)species

Once they obfantcd DNA sequences{序列}from two fossils{化石}，mammothd and mastodons the team comparcd them with dna form ，modcrn eleohants they found to their amazement that modern forest and sabanna elephants are as distinct from cach other as asian elephants and manmoths he scientists used detailed genetic anatysis to proce that the african savanna clelhants hace been distinct species for several million years the divcrgonce of the ttwo species took place around the time of the of the dicergcncc of asian clephants and woolly mammoths this result amazed all the scienitsts
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separespecies but this is the most convincing scientinfic evidence so far that they are anded difforent species
Preci many naluralists believed that afrjcan savanna elephants and airican forest were two plpulations of the same apecies despite the clcphants signigice\ant sizw differences the sac\vanna elelphant has an average shouldcr height of 3.5metres while the forest slsphant has an average shouldcr height of 2.5metres the sacanna laphant welghs belween six anp secedn tons roughly double the weight of the forest elephant but the fact that they look so different does not neccssarily mean they are different species howecer the prooflay in the analysis of th DNA
