Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, "Don't climb trees. It's ." But Xiamen University is going to have a new class: Tree-climbing.

    Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised the course there. In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect . And they use ropes so that they cannot or get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are to learn the skills, like swimming. In a time of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, etc., such knowledge may make a between life and death.

    No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn (与生俱来的) skills and talents. A teacher should no longer see the child as an cup and only pour knowledge into it. I hope climbing trees will up the potential (潜力) in many students.
