SOME EVIEWS

Tom, from the U.K. --At the beginning, I didn't know anything apart from "hola". I can now read, write and listen. I would definitely recommend my teacher. She is friendly and makes the lessons fun.

Jimmy, from Singapore--My teacher puts me at ease in a class and allows me to show my true Spanish abilities. She is clearly a professional teacher with great ideas and patience.

Boston University was always my dream, but when it came to making the decision, I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice. Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston, its strong education programs, and the comfortable community (社区). One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember, after all.

After just six short weeks, I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University, I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday, I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom.

Although I was a secondary education major, working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring, but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies.

As the weeks went on, I found myself further involved (参与) more classroom activities, often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class, I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers, and taking note of their excellent teaching skills, some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom.

The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I can't wait to have my own classroom of students. I'm so happy that I've made the right decision to choose Boston University.

    One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don't always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.

    What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients' evening meals has become later and later. Dinner — already pushed back by longer work hours — is often further delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.

    In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p. m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.

    She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we're the reason that it's not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”

    To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.

Pigs may be more intelligent than people thought, as shown in a study where pigs used a joystick (操纵杆) and played a video game. Researchers used 2-year-old Panepinto micro pigs called Ebony and Ivory, as well as Hamlet and Omelet, 3-month-old Yorkshire pigs. Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick, teaching them the word, "joystick". Next, on the words "watch the screen", they learned how to watch targets (目标) on the screen. Of course, praise was given to the active pigs winning a game.

During the experiment, all pigs performed well. As they became more successful, the level of difficulty increased, just like in human video games! At first, the pigs had to hit a three-walled target which was then reduced to two walls and then one wall. 

All pigs did well with the three-walled targets; however, the Panepinto pigs performed better on the more difficult levels. One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no longer fit in their test. After a few months, Omelet and Hamlet were taken away from the experiment. 

Dr. Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, "The findings of the study are important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how special pigs are, and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized. The researchers said that the pigs' actions were deliberate (故意的). This led them to believe that pigs were able to, successfully do new tasks.

"It may encourage other researchers to use touch screens and computer technology to study pigs intelligence in the future," Croney said. The team hopes this type of research will make people pay more attention to this farm animal and show people how they can change the lives of animals.

It takes time to really get to know someone, but first impressions often determine whether someone is willing to spend more time learning about you. In fact, people's first impressions are made within seven seconds of meeting someone new.

Show respect. People want to feel respected before they show you the same respect. Be sure to treat everyone around you well, because it shows a lot about who you are.

Be enthusiastic. Don't be afraid to show that you are interested in someone. In fact, people often see passion(激情) as a charming sign of strength and inspiration. Showing your enthusiasm by smiling or using friendly humor will make you seem easygoing.

Body language is as important as your words to first impressions. Make sure you posture is good, make strong eye contact and try to express your interest in others.

Try to avoid the bad days. If something unfortunate happens, you don't have to follow a scheduled meeting on the day. Let them know you don't want unfavorable things to affect them. It'll show your ability to communicate effectively.

In a national spelling contest, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 1  voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. Finally, they decided to ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 2  the word. But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 3  letter-so she lost the contest. 

As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood up to applaud her 4 . Later, dozens of newspapers reported her honesty, even when it cost her the contest. But the fact is that she 5  the biggest contest that day-the contest of her 6 .

Probably the biggest test of our character is what we would do if we knew we would never get 7 . This young girl could easily have 8 and nobody would have known it but herself. But that's just it: she would know she did wrong. It's been said, "If you 9 , you make yourself cheap." Her respect for herself was more important than any 10 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the 11 she made at that moment will have a long-lasting influence.

It's so true that the choice you make today 12 what you are tomorrow. Our children will 13 our behaviour much more than our advice. So if we want them to 14 to be honest, we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember, our kids are 15 what we do and how we live even when we don't think they see or know.

When talking about the China women's national volleyball team, we have to talk about one person —Lang Ping. She uses her strong will (意志) and great ability (help) the China women' s national volleyball team go to the world.

In 2013, it was so hard for Lang to make her decision of (keep) on her volleyball career. At that time, there was something wrong her body. But later, when she thought about the (true) that we lost in the 2012 London Olympics and the future of the China women's national volleyball team, he agreed to be the coach (教练) of the China women's national volleyball team.

Then she started her hard  busy life again. It was really difficult to make the women volleyball players better trained. She had to correct many (mistake) when improving (they) skills of playing. But she never said that something was not possible. 

All her hard work (certain) had a good result. In 2016, the China women's national volleyball team (win) the gold medal in the Rio Olympics. Since then, the spirit (精神) of the China women's national volleyball team has made deep impression on the whole world.
