— ________. Maybe we can discuss the slides after class.

—________. I've been longing to see that band live!

My 12-year-old daughter is smart, even sharper than I was at her age, but she just wouldn't pick up a chapter book for fun. School books were tough for her, and when it came to free time, she stuck to picture books and listened to "Harry Potter" audiobooks. None of these really got her into deep reading, where you stare at words on paper and let your imagination fly.

For a while, I had to face the truth: I hadn't passed on the joy of reading to her. I tried telling her how reading makes life richer, but she shrugged (耸肩) and said, "Lots of my friends don't like reading either. It's no big deal."

Things went worse when she got a smartphone last year. Suddenly, my lively child became lazy, always on her phone. I suggested other fun activities, but she just found theme "boring." I still held out hope for reading, seeing it as a developmental escape. But the problem was that she chose the colorful, noisy world of her phone.

Then, right before we left for an 8-day holiday on a beautiful Greek island, we talked about reading again. "Novels are the best way to understand how people feel," I told her. "I can learn more from social media," she replied. I mentioned storytelling and history, and she said, "I can watch movies and use the internet." I even promised to buy her any books she liked, but she smiled and said, "Mama, welcome to your dream."

I realized I couldn't win. She had good reasons and I couldn't say she was wrong. Sure, reading opens up new worlds, but so does the whole internet. Still, deep down, I wished she'd experience the pure magic of reading—those special moments when an author says exactly what you've always felt but never knew how to express.

The Sad Zither is a famous seven-verse poem (write)by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin (813—858). Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of (hard)poems to explain and translate.

In beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, is mentioned (show) his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient myths and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn't distinguish dream reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid's tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can (see)in the sunlight. The first three stories all create a sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it's hard to reach, implicating the hopelessness.

Actually, the four (story)he chose indicate Li's dissatisfaction with his life.   

In the end, the poet (direct)expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he was given the chance to live those years again.

Stress is part of students' life. While some stress can help them to get work done, too much stress can cause problems with health and sleep. Try one or more of the following.

Work out your own learning ways.

Students learn in different ways and have different learning styles. Some do homework all at once, while others need to take some breaks. Some students remember well in the morning. So work out your best learning ways and you'll feel relaxed.

Stay healthy and get enough sleep.

Many students don't focus on (关注) their health. Exercising, eating a healthy diet (饮食) and getting enough sleep do good to school performance. When you take care of yourself, you just feel better!

Talk to others.

When you talk your stress out with some friends, chances are that some of them are going through the same thing and they might have some ideas to share. Besides, it helps to know you're not alone.

You should feel good about taking break. And only you can say which activities work best for letting you relax. Some people find that quiet activities like reading a book or watching TV are the best way to relax. Others prefer more active breaks: working on personal projects, exercising like yoga or Tai Chi, listening to music or spending time outdoors.
 

A. Give yourself a break.

B. Share your happiness.

C. Sometimes you feel tired.

D. However, other students remember well in the evening.

E. As a result, their performance (表现) in school and work can be bad.

F. Now when you feel your stress building up inside, how can you manage it?

G. Share your problems and how you are feeling and dealing with a parent, friend, teacher, or doctor.

Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin's School of Education ran relative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. "We found that students who had direct contact with nature by immersing (沉浸) themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined' being in nature through photos," Dr Gardner said.

In total, 97 students took part in the study, divided into four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.

Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with the class-based students. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the forest-based students with those who remained at school.

The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to a gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and "green learning" in schools.
