W: What do you like to do in your free time, John?

M: I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in listening to music.

W: Oh, what kind of music do you like best?

M: Well, I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#}music that helps me relax after work. What about you? What do you usually do on your weekends?

W: I like watching movies. If you are free, would you like to watch a movie with me this weekend? The director is really famous.

M: Hmm,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?

W: Oh, in that case, I'll ask someone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} likes serious movies.

M: What's the movie about?

W: It's about {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the environment. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.

M: Sounds great! Have a nice weekend!

    Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, "Don't climb trees. It's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}." 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 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the course there. In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. And they use ropes so that they cannot {#blank#}6{#/blank#} or get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to learn the skills, like swimming. In a time of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, etc., such knowledge may make a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} 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 {#blank#}9{#/blank#} cup and only pour knowledge into it. I hope climbing trees will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} up the potential (潜力) in many students.
