I started by reading a passage to him but to my5, he repeated it word by word after hearing it once. He also answered related questions with 90% accuracy. It became clear that Mark could6 and recall information, but only when it was read aloud to him. This wasn't a psychiatric issue — it was a reading7.

I shared my observations with Mark,8 that he wasn't mentally ill but had a small challenge where he couldn't form a mental image of written words. I reassured him that we could fix it together, and that he was, in fact,9 intelligent with an IQ of 180. I asked him to keep this between us for now, as I didn't think the10 or his mother would believe me.

We developed a strategy: Mark would read everything11, creating mental images for the words, which would help him remember them. He also started12 vocabulary from the SAT list, which13 his reading comprehension. His progress was remarkable. Within weeks, Mark was back on track. His confidence grew and he regained14.

A Fish on the Baseball Field

My parents always hoped I'd play baseball. You would be amazed at how much they loved baseball. They actually met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game. Also, my dad was the star pitcher (投掷手) on his high school team, which happened to go all the way to the state championship!

You might think that with a family history like that, baseball would just be in my blood and I'd be naturally talented at it. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. When I was little, my dad got me a plastic bat and ball and a mini catcher's mitt (棒球手套). I could throw OK, but no matter how much I tried, I could not catch or hit at all!

Last year, my friend Ollie was super excited to join a baseball team. Then my parents decided baseball would be the best thing for me, too. Before I could say "Thanks, but no thanks", they had signed me up!

Don't get me wrong. The experience wasn't terrible. Our coach was nice and the kids were great. Even though I never became good at baseball, I did improve. But the very best part of the whole experience — the silver-lining part — was something completely unexpected.

After every baseball practice, Ollie's grandmother would take us to the community pool on the way home. Ollie was more interested in playing in the pool than swimming. I, on the other hand, could not get enough of swimming.

Ollie usually ended up leaving the water to hang out with his grandmother while I stayed in for a few more minutes with a girl named Isabel, a member of the swim team. We often challenged each other to see who could hold her breath underwater longer or who could get to the other side of the pool faster.

One day, Isabel said, "You are a natural little fish. Do you want to join our swim team?" She looked at me with expectation.

An Impressive Lecture on Chinese Cultural Heritage

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are on a hike on the plains of Tibet to observe Tibetan antelopes, a species once faced serious threats from illegal hunting and habitat (lose). Valued for their fur, they were mercilessly hunted and killed. Besides, some of their habitats gave way new roads and railways. In the 1980s and 1990s, their population dropped sharply by over 50%.

In order to prevent Tibetan antelopes from (die) out, the Chinese government set up the Changtang National Nature Reserve and took a series of measures, such as building bridges and gates on the plains (help) them move freely and safely. Moreover, volunteers like Zhaxi, our local guide, were asked to conduct round-the-clock patrols(巡逻). Zhaxi considers land sacred, believing protecting the wildlife is important not only for the animals but also for the people there.

These efforts proved to be (effect). Starting from 2015, Tibetan antelopes were no longer an(endanger) species. However, the government continues the protection programs, as the species still faces some threats.

We should realize that although great progress (make) in protecting wildlife in the past years, much remains to be done. We must learn to live in harmony with nature if we want to (true) save our planet.
