About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son who started learning in a kindergarten there. Several weeks 1 , my son's teacher asked me to meet him at the school. In the 2 , after the greeting words, the teacher asked “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)?” Was he 3 my wonderful Scola? No, no, it4 be. What a helpless, 5 moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy. I asked him 6 he was asking me this question. He told me that my son couldn't 7the teachers directions(指令), and was making bad effects to the class.
Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was8 ,“Why haven't you taught him to speak English? Don't you speak English at home?”
“No, I didn't speak English at home,” I replied, “I was sure my son would learn English in a few months, and I didn't want him 9 his native language.”
“I can't believe 10 there are such people who don't teach their children to speak English at home and at all time.” the teacher said.
Then he told me the meeting was over, and I11 the office.
As I had expected, 12 learned to speak English well before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a high-paid job. He travels widely and has a13 life. And all these are mostly 14 being bilingual(双语的).
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with 15;it teaches people about other cultures and other places. But the “educator” I met in my son's kindergarten didn't realized these.
News One: The first quantum communications satellite (量子通讯卫星)developed by China is expected to launch(发射) in July of this year. It means that a quantum communications network will be formed, and quantum communication between the satellite and the ground will be achieved for the first time anywhere in the world.
News Two: Shanghai Disney Resort(度假胜地) opened in a trial run(试营业) last week to prepare for its official opening on June 16. A one-day visit to the resort for a family of three will cost at least 2,600 yuan, which covers entrance ticket and three meals as well as shopping, while a two-day trip will cost no less than 6,000 yuan in total, which is too expensive for most visitors.
News Three: More and more people get interested in running. The number of runners is increasing, and the economics(经济) of running is growing with it. Runners are always going to need shoes and they are always going to be looking for races. Both of these markets have just developed during the past 30 years or more.
News Four: Overweight students at Nanjing Agricultural University are having a special sports course. The more weight they lose, the higher marks they will get. The course is not for everyone, but just for the students who needs to lose weight to keep healthy. There are 3 or 4 specially designed sports classes every week and each class lasts 90 minutes.
The latest colorful 3D cartoon movie, Zootopia, has become a great success. It has not only won the hearts of children but also drawn the attention of adults.
The film tells about a rabbit called Judy who was born in carrot farmers. All her life, she's dreamed of being a police officer and finally leaves for Zootopia, a beautiful modern city, to go for her dream. It's a place where, according to her understanding, “anyone can be anything.”
At first, she is put on parking duty, because nobody believes a rabbit can become a great policewoman compared to other big and strong predator animals(食肉动物).While on duty, she gets to know a sly-looking fox, Nick . They once misunderstand each other and have words with each other. But they work together to solve a secret case successfully in the end .
From the movie we also can get a clear and powerful message: prejudice(偏见), in any form, is a terrible thing. We should say no to it. Luckily, we can see both predators and prey-predators(食草动物) can live in peace in Zootopia finally.
Anyway, Zootopia is a great piece of work with important life lessons: life's a little bit messy, and we all make mistakes;no matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you. So stick to your dream and work for it. You know, “everything is possible.”
Teenagers are going to have lessons on how to sleep. Materials to teach teenagers how to get enough sleep will be offered to schools across Scotland by the charity Sleep Scotland. The purpose is to help people realize the importance of sleep for young people's physical and emotional health(身心健康).
The charity Sleep Scotland said watching TV and using computers and mobile phones at night could stop teenagers from getting the nine hours of sleep they need. It also offers a sleep advising service, saying getting enough sleep can improve grades and physical health. However, less sleep can result in being heavy and a greater risk of feeling worried and hopeless.
The charity Sleep Scotland hopes to educate young people about why they need a full night's sleep and how to develop good sleeping habits. Most students find it very difficult to get up in the morning and pay attention to their study. Sleep is most surely a problem.
Research shows that sleep time for teenagers around the world has got down in the past 10 to 20 years. A report by the charity Sleep Scotland said young people often believed they could make up for(弥补) sleep time during the week by sleeping late at weekends. However, by going to bed even later at weekends, they would actually have to experience a change in their body clocks, which would be harmful to their study on Monday mornings.
Dear Emma,
Your problem is like a circle. The harder you study, the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make (you) feel better.
Try to break this bad circle. Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people, because you are too shy or too serious (begin) a conversation. You are not. (someone) has a fun side to his character. Push your shy side away and (给……看)your classmates how much fun you can be.
Look at your classmates. Try to find out (是否) or not there are any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common .
First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return.
Next, talk to your classmates. Do this classes or during your lunch break. You may find easier to start by talking to people when they are (lonely).
Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond (回应) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and helpful. must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her.
Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and (slow) you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you want.

.When there is a fire, breathing smoke in is one of the main causes of death. So cover your nose and mouth with a cloth to avoid it.
.Don't be too nervous and try to keep a cool head all the time. Remember that even in the worst situation, you still have a chance to be safe.
