Everyone knows that but still some of us do it.I had done it many time

20、s before until something happened to teach me never to do it again. It was not the police. Rather it was an unforgettable, and unpleasant, experience.It happened one evening when my friend Segaran and I wanted to go and visit another friend who lived some distance away. I had a bicycle. Segaran did

21、not. So, as usual, he sat side-saddle on the horizontal bar of the bicycle while I pedalled. We had done it many times before, so it should not be any problem.Near my friends house, we got onto a gravel(碎石) path made slippery by the recent rain. Still we managed to move along, thoroughly enjoying th

22、e rough ride.As we passed by a stream, I made the mistake of going too near the bank. The rain had softened the soil and it could not hold our combined weight. One moment we were going along merrily, the next we were tumbling head over heels into the stream.Splash! Splash! Splash! We plunged into th

23、e river bicycle first, followed by Segaran, then me. Normally the stream is only a few centimetres deep with clear water. When we fell in, it was a metre deep with smelly black water. The water prevented us from getting badly injured but we also had to pay the price of swallowing some of it. It tast

24、ed horrible. Segaran got the worst of it for being sandwiched between the bicycle and me. Our pride was far more hurt.We walked all the way home. I had to push the bicycle because its front wheel was bent out of shape. From that moment I promised never to carry anyone on a bicycle again.36. _ taught

After the last paragraphBA listener from Brazil recently wrote to us asking for some advice. Hes planning a trip to th

28、e United States, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we tell about the most popular places to visit in the country, and hear about what makes them so appealing. Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than

29、 others. Washington, D.C. is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop the stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, clim

30、bers and nature lovers, as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Trip Advisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. There are also ratings for hotels, restaurants, and places people have visited around the world. Every year, Trip Advisor makes a list of the

31、 top 25 cities to visit in the United States. The results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website. Americas major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. This is probably because of the good quality of services they provide tourists. “They do a great job of giving t

32、ravelers what they want when theyre on vacation. I think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need. So whether youre traveling alone, youre traveling for business, youre traveling with your family - whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to delivering amazing experiences and

Its Tourists Who Decide Where to GoCchemistrynerd US High School TeacherAs a science teacher, I also want to incorpo

36、rate literacy(讀寫能力) and reading into science. I thought it would be cool to have something called “Article Fridays” (or monthly, and maybe a more creative name) where students read articles and summarize them on different chemistry topics that they find interesting. Id have a couple students each ti

37、me share what they found, and theyd all hand them in. I work on a block schedule(模塊教學(xué)計(jì)劃) so Im not sure exactly how this would work. Does anyone have creative ideas on how to get kids thinking of science thats in the real world? Id probably do this with my Honors or AP classes. Caesar753 I like the

38、idea, but not for just Honors/AP. I think that all students can work on improving their literacy. Besides, this is a good way to connect your content to current events. Youll need to find high-interest articles that grab their attention and keep it. Im not sure that I would devote an entire block to

39、 this activity because it might get boring even with high-interest articles. Myrisophilist High school Life Science Im really into literacy and science as well, so PM me about it anytime! Do your students have Internet access in the classroom? If so, that opens up a world of resources. I put a ton o

40、f resources seeds on my website that relate to each class I teach. The New York Times Learning Blog has so many ideas on incorporating news into every subject.

Next to the face, hair is one of the main qualities people look for when they consider a womans beauty. Whethe

44、r long or short, curly or straight, hair often gets a lot of attention. Each hair on a persons head grows from a single tube-like hole in the skin called a follicle. People are born with all of the hair follicles they are ever going to have. The average person has about one hundred thousand hair fol

45、licles. They begin to form around the third month of pregnancy. Each hair grows independently of other hairs. There are three periods of hair growth. Not all hairs experience the same period of growth at the same time. The period of active growth is called Anagen. During this period, hair grows at a

46、 rate of about three tenths millimeters a day, or one centimeter a month. About 85 percent of hair follicles are going through this process at any given time. This period can last from two to six years. The Catagen period of hair growth comes next. It is then that hair growth begins to slow down. Th

47、is period usually lasts two or three weeks. Finally, hair growth comes to a complete stop and the hairs begin to fall out. This period is known as Telogen. It affects about 15 percent of all hairs at a time. On average, a person loses between 50 and 100 hairs every day. Since each hair grows at a di

48、fferent rate, this process is overlooked. Once the Telogen period has ended, the hair growth process begins again. 48. What does the underlined word “They” in the 2nd paragraph refer to? A.

Anagen Catagen Telogen Telogen CatagenEUndoubtedly there are a few positive characters who are able to “rise above” their environment, who are able to impress the people with whom they come in contact in spite

51、of their clothes. Sometimes we read of some learned woman, who has “made good in her profession,” who says that she has not looked in a mirror for years; but such a woman is a rare exception, and one is not safe in gambling(賭博) with ones chances of success by following her. It is not the positive ch

52、aracters with whom we are concerned, however, for they are few and somehow manage to take care of themselves. The vast majority of the race are not so blessed, and we need to observe but little to realize that with them the reaction of clothes is an important factor. School girls should know that clothes may make a career; happiness and leadership in all the years of high school and college life may be affected by the story a Freshmans clothes tell. Many a girl
