Nowadays, in my spare time, I prefer to go outdoors and spend my time in some different places and with some different people.

    The first reason {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I do outdoor activities is that I have spent too much time indoors. Most of the time I just sit in the classroom, listening {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the teachers and doing my homework. The indoor activities are too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(limit). The second reason is that fresh air, sunlight and enough physical exercise {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(need) for a healthy body. So when I am free, I should go out. And the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(three) one is that I want to have more {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(experience) in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you will meet a lot of people who are quite different from you. It will give you a lot of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(beauty) moments.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do) outdoor activities, however, will take a lot of money and energy. So if you have not prepared enough, having some amusement indoors is also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} good choice. It may be much cheaper and easier {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(carry) out. Reading some books and enjoying music are also very good.

    Students at Shady Side are exposed to a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} curriculum in a safe and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} environment; the joy of learning becomes their bridge to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} lifelong learners.

    In the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of this journey they are provided an experience in Kindergarten {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Twelfth Grade, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} enables them to mature academically, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, emotionally and socially. As they walk down the halls during their years together at Shady Side, our boys and girls—so soon to become men and women—are learning to think, to work, to question, to be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and responsible, to relate with others, to laugh {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their mistakes and to act graciously when success {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their way.

    When people hear the word "rat," they may think of dirty animals {#blank#}1{#/blank#} spread disease. And if you are an English learner, you may also connect the word "rat" with bad {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(express). For examples, calling someone a "rat" is a big insult and "rat race" describes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} joyless, hurried ways of living. So rats generally are not beloved animals either in life or the English language. However, the rat trainers at the nonprofit organization, APOPO, see the animals very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(differ). They consider the rats lifesavers.

    Based in Tanzania, APOPO trains pouched rats {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find) landmines(地雷). And the rats {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their extraordinary sense of smell are very good at the job. APOPO calls their animal team HeroRats. "Everybody should know that these rats, they're not stupid. They're not terrible animals. They're really {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(intelligence) and they can be trained to do some amazing things." says American Ellie Cutright, an APOPO trainer from Charleston, South Carolina. APOPO estimates that worldwide there are 110 million hidden explosives {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(leave) by the war. These explosives are still "live," or able to explode. Experts say such landmines kill or wound 5000 people a year. APOPO says its rats {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(discover) more than 107,000 landmines and unexploded explosives so far, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) life safer for almost a million people.
