  Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star"。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. 

  One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. 

  In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. 

  The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. 

  The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development. 

  About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. 

  We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. 

  The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio! 

  Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"! 

  Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide. 

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

  Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

Whenever we hear about "the homeless", most of us think of the Developing world. But the 1 is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a 2 country like Germany?

Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making 3 for the homeless of Berlin, Germany's capital. They first4 one long hot summer when most Germans were 5 on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches, 6 a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.

Long ago, there lived a group of pigeons（鸽子）in the forest. Among them was a wise old pigeon. Every pigeon looked up to the wise old pigeon.

One day, while searching for food, they saw rice spread on the ground. All pigeons, at once decided to fly down and eat the rice. But the wise pigeon thought, "How could so much rice be found in this thick forest?"He tried to stop all other pigeons but he failed.

When all pigeons finished cating the rice and tried to fly back, they were unable to move as their feet got stuck in a net. Soon, bird catcher saw pigeons trapped（陷入困境）. He shouted, "Ah! So many pigeons, I will put them in cages and sell them in the market."

Nothing could help pigeons to get free from the net. They all cried, "What should we do now?" They looked at the wise old pigeon and said, "Please save us."The wise pigeon advised, "Stop pulling the net in your own direction. Instead, try to fly up together and carry the net with you."All pigeons listened to him and started to pull together and in no time started to fly away together.

Then the wise old pigeon said, "Unity（团结一致）has great strength to protect you from harm. It's your act of unity that saved your lives today."

Do you often ask questions? Children are known for wanting answers to many questions because curiosity is part of human nature. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens.

As we all know, curiosity provides many advantages. Many of history's greatest discoveries were made by curious people. People wondered how things worked and how work could be done more quickly. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them. Even if you don't plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the curiosity of learning, classes will become more interesting. You will be good at them because you enjoy the process of learning. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you an able worker.

What will you do if you're not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes. To improve your curiosity, get information from as many sources（来源）as possible when you learn about a topic. At the same time, read all kinds of books, watch or listen to speeches and ask questions. Don't always get information in the same way. Instead, learn to understand the facts that different people know.

Don't think you already know everything. Instead, search for other possibilities and opinions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don't know. Find out what it is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other people happy by sharing their knowledge. Let's try to become people who are full of curiosity.

The conflict（冲突）between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration（移民）wave since World War Ⅱ.

I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don't speak Russian or Ukrainian. Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova.

The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to provide help for the Ukrainian refugees（难民）. During a two-week intensive（集中的）aid program, the gallery provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.

Because of my busy school and work timetable, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But, besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration（登记）papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.

I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes, though they must have experienced all the awful things. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.

Prince Caspian's parents died. He lived with his uncle, Miraz, the King of Narnia and his aunt. Though he had wonderful toys, he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all been put away and Nurse would tell him stories.

He didn't care much for his uncle and aunt, but about twice a week his uncle would ask him to come and have a walk together.

One day, while they were doing this, the King said, "Well, boy, we must soon teach you to ride and use a sword（剑）. You know we have no children, so it looks as if you might have to be King when I'm gone. How shall you like that, eh?"

"I don't know, Uncle," said Caspian. "What do you wish?" asked the King. "I wish-I wish- I wish I could have lived in the Old Days," said Caspian.

Up till now the King had been talking in a tiresome way, which made it quite clear that he wasn't really interested in what they were saying, but he suddenly gave Caspian a sharp（锐利的）look.

"Eh? What's that?"he said."What old days?"

"Oh, don't you know, Uncle?" said Caspian."Once there was a White Witch（女巫）and she made herself Queen of the whole country. And she made it so that it was always winter. And then two boys and two girls came from somewhere, and they killed the Witch and were made Kings and Queens of Narnia. And so they ruled for a long time and everyone had a lovely time, and it was all because of Aslan."

"Who's she?" said the King. If Caspian had been a little older, the tone（语气）of his uncle's voice would have warned him it would be wiser to shut up. But he talked on...

Do you do team projects at school? I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren't always easy. You need to know how to work well together. Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.

Try to be positive. Everything is easier when you're enjoying yourself in the team.

When you turn on the tap（水龙头）in your house, water comes out. This water has 1 a long way. This water comes from rain in the sky. The 2 that water arrives to the tap in your house is called the "water supply".

Most of the water on the earth is in the 3 . This water has a lot of salt in it. We cannot drink this water. Salt water makes us ill. But when the sun shines, it 4 a part of the ocean. This water rises up to make clouds in the sky. The more water rises up, the heavier and larger the clouds become. The clouds will get so heavy and large that they will change colour from white to 5 . The water will fall down into rivers and lakes 6 rain and travel back to the sea. This is called the "water cycle". We use half of the rain water 7 falls over the earth.

There are parts of the world where there is 8  fresh water. In the Arab countries, salt water can be made safe to drink. This is done by freezing or boiling it. The salt is left 9  and the clean water is then taken off. This process（过程）is very 10 , but in some areas this is the only way to get clean drinking water.

Beethoven was a great musician. One evening, young Beethoven was out for a walk. As he was passing a wooden house, he 1  someone inside practicing one piece of his music. He stopped to listen, and a girl said that she wished she could hear a real 2  play it.

Beethoven went into the house, 3 the young lady at the piano was blind. A young man stood beside her. Beethoven asked 4 , "Would you mind me playing for you?" 5 they didn't know who the stranger was, the lady and the man said yes happily. Beethoven sat at the piano and began to play. He played so well that all of them lost themselves in the beautiful music. Even when the lonely candle in the room 6 and the moon shone brightly through the window, he was 7 playing!

When Beethoven left the house, the moon seemed even 8 in the night sky. He was deeply 9 by the young lady's love for his music and was greatly encouraged by the beautiful night. He rushed back home 10 and spent the whole night writing down the music that he had played at the blind girl's house.

This is a story of "Moonlight Sonata", one of the classics in the history of music.
