I'm an English teacher and I often volunteer to teach kids English in the countryside or poor areas. These experiences have left me so many sweet memories.①

Once I came to volunteer at a school in the southwest of China. The day before I left, I read Dr. Seuss' Happy Birthday to you to my students in class. It was just my birthday that day. When we got to the part about the birthday horn (号角) — you can play it to make everyone know it's your birthday — I made a joke about how I would like a birthday horn as well. During the afternoon break(课间) that day, all the students in my class got together and made me a horn out of paper.而且他们把他们的名字和心愿都写在了上面。②When I got back into the classroom, they presented it to me with great pride. It was a surprising but sweet present for me. I brought the horn back home and hung (悬挂) it on the wall in my bedroom. It always reminds me of those lovely kids.

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I'll play it by ear”, that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.
There're many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don't necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter, and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later, Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was "No".

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. He told the teacher about his plans. Unfortunately his teacher says, "It will be a waste of your time to try to do it." Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn't get his idea accepted.

Paul later got married and had some kids. But this dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. Under the cover of darkness, he went to secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

Every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is covered with fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him so many years until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible promise he made to himself as a child.

How do you talk with new people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here are some tips for you.

Tip 1	You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer(旁观者) of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you, Before you start talking, it's important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation.
Tip2	You'd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to, ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like "How do you know the host?" and "How did you get there?" are always good conversation starters to a certain extent(在—定程度上).
Tip 3	Don't fear silences. Awkward(令人尴尬的) silences are common part of talking with people. Just rush to fill them. If you don't want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with.
Tip 4	Relax If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don't know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.

When you meet new people, you always want to leave a good impression. But do you know how to be a good speaker? Here is some advice for you.

The first advice is that you have to show up and observe or listen to others even if you can tell stories {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. If you go near a group of people, watch their body language to see if they will offer you a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to talk with them. The second advice for you is that some topics should be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} before the conversation. Next, you don't need to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of silences. You can rush to fill them or leave for another group. The last is relaxing. If you can't keep a conversation going or you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} what you should say next, take a break and clear your head, then return to the discussion.

Every student spends lots of time studying and almost everyone would like their study to be more efficient (高效的). Here are two ways to help you manage your time better when studying.

Your study environment

Watching TV while studying is a bad idea and makes your study ineffective (无效的). So you'd better turn off the TV while you're studying. Some students like listening to music while studying. Music is OK, but whether it helps or hurts depends on whether it can keep your mind at peace. Make sure that any music you listen to is actually helping you study, but not drawing your attention away. Good lighting and temperature are necessary, too. When it's too hot or too cold, it will be harder for you to give all your attention to what you are working on.

Full attention for at least 40 minutes at a time

One of the most important things you can do to study efficiently is to give all the attention to your study for at least 40 minutes at a time. Don't let anything else draw your attention away from the study during the period. Then have a rest and relax. Don't study for too long a time because your brain gets tired and it needs a rest.

If you choose these ways, you will make an improvement in how you manage your time for study.
