11、 The Farm School is a preschool, a place for 3- and 4-year-olds to learn and play.Alison Huff has taught at other schools. She says the Farm School gives its students more of a hands-on learning experience. For example, children use pumpkins to learn about colors and counting. They learn about measu

12、rement by planting seeds 30 centimeters apart. Huff adds, “We can use everything a regular preschool uses, but out in the garden.” In addition to planting vegetables and fruits, children help prepare food and clean up afterwards. The school teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown

13、. “They can see the benefits of what they have in the garden and taste it then instead of going to the grocery store and buying it,” says Huff.The preschoolers also learn words in languages other than English.

But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, theres a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children

20、s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each childs name and the date when they were measured. Most people I know have been featured on a wall like this, or at least had a wall like it in their home.Of all the objects and memories, it is this thing in a home that is the hardest to leave

21、 behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldnt normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our children grow in so many ways, but the wall is the

22、physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.Over the years, Ive talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my children stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my children decided t

23、o do something about it. They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer.

Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterw

Santas didnt portray the character that we want. Santa Claus stands for all good things hut some of the gentlemens i

30、mages (形象) werent up to the expectation,” said Charlie.The three-day Santa workshop teaches people “Santa sign language”, facts about deer and clothing and make-up style.

41、rk underwater. Instead，the robots can use sonar (聲吶) and an electric field.Another problem was charging batteries.

48、s learners confused (困惑的). 36 Not all words can be pronounced by their spelling.

Another reason is related to the English pronunciation.B. You can say we use idioms like theyre going out of sty
