Four years ago, when my dad was 20 me, he spent many hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. He asked me to bring him a cup of tea and have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend, so I did not have time for any long conversations that day.

One Sunday morning, we had a telephone talk as usual. I 21 that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short.

Long ago, there was a camel who lived alone in the desert. He was lazy. Instead of working, he spent his days chewing (嚼碎) sticks, eating twigs, and drinking water.

Many other animals worked hard, and they tried to get Camel to help them. But each time, the stubborn camel simply said, ―Humph.‖

One day, Zebra carried sticks to make a fire for animals.

―Camel, come and carry sticks like the rest of us,‖ said Zebra. ―Humph,‖ said Camel.

The next day, Hippo carried water for the animals to drink. ―Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,‖ said Hippo. ―Humph,‖ said Camel.

The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. ―Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,‖ said Coyote. Camel didn‘t move. He simply responded, ―Humph!‖

This made the animals very angry. ―Camel is lazy, and we work hard,‖ they said. ―We will go to visit Genie (精灵) to see if he can help us.‖ Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel‘s laziness.

Genie went to Camel‘s home and found him resting. ―Stubborn Camel, you have been lazy. You must work with the other animals and help them,‖ Genie said. ―Humph,‖ Camel replied. ―Do not say that again,‖ said Genie, ―You have given the other animals three days of extra work.‖ ―Humph,‖ Camel snapped. Genie waved his arms, and Camel‘s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise. ―You brought this humph (we call it ―hump‖ now) upon yourself by being lazy,‖ said Genie, ―Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating to make up for the work you missed. You can live off your hump (驼峰).‖ So Camel stomped off to work, humphing the whole day. And that‘s how the camel got his hump.

Grade Level: 3rd – 5th; Type: Biology Objective:

What do ants eat? Scientists observe (观察) animals to see what their preferences are. You can do the same with this science project by examining which foods ants love best. Research Questions:

I‘m sorry, Mr. Brown. Let me tell you why that idea may fail you. I know people who graduated at 21 and didn‘t get a job until they were 27. I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. I know people who never went to university but found what they love at 18. I know people who found a job straight out of college making much money but hate what they do. I know people who took gap years and found their purpose. I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, but they changed their mind at 26. So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that they‘re ahead of you. Maybe some of them you feel are behind. But everything happens at their own pace (速度). They have their own time and clock and so do you. Be patient.

It took till 32 for J.K. Rowling to be published for Harry Potter. Ortega set up Zara when he was 39. Jack Ma started Alibaba when he was 35. Morgan Freeman got his big break (机遇) at 52. Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old. Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.

Getting your degree (学位) after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible. And buying a house after 40 is still great. Don‘t let anyone rush you with their time lines. As Einstein said, ―Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that‘s counted truly counts.‖ And this is the most important thing. I want you to be able to have meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling (让人感觉有意义的) lives for yourselves, and learn how to use that to make a difference in the lives of others. That will be the true success.

37. The underlined ―idea‖ may be the thought that ______. A. buying a house after 40 is great B. getting a job after 35 is wonderful C. starting a family after 30 is a shame D. getting a degree after 25 is an achievement 38. The speaker gives so many examples of famous people in order to ______. A. tell listeners that they are too old to achieve success B. wish listeners to admire their wealthy but busy lives C. ask listeners to keep their own pace of life and be patient

D. show listeners that they would never know what the true success is

39. Which is TRUE according to the speech?

A. Jack Ma failed 35 times before he started Alibaba. B. Everything in life happens according to one clock. C. Remember to look at someone and think they are behind. D. Enjoy your meaningful life and make a difference in others‘ as well. 40. The speech may make the listeners think life is full of ______. A. danger

B. hope

C. fear

D. surprise

When it comes to judgement (评价) of their bodies, women can‘t win. I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat, and after losing weight, shamed for being fit.

Sarah Moore is a 29-year-old mother of three children from Indiana, US. She became a personal trainer after losing more than 45 kg. She remembers the fat-shaming that happened to her before her weight loss. When waiting to get on a roller

coaster, people behind her were complaining about the wait, and the person who worked there said, ―Don‘t worry. She‘s probably not going to fit on here, and you‘ll be next.‖ But after losing weight, Moore said people commented (评论) on her body even more. ―Now I get comments like, ?Are you sure you can eat that?‘ I think they‘re worried I‘ll get the weight back,‖ she said. How does it make her feel? ―Fat-shaming brought me sadness and I couldn‘t get any help. Fit-shaming makes me feel angry,‖ she said.

Changes in body weight can also influence relationships. It can break the balance because people who lose weight can not only become more confident but also be the envy of others.

Fit-shaming has been more difficult to deal with for Andrea Sereda, a 38-year-old social worker in Canada. She said judgement of her body is something she‘s faced for years. Sereda said that when she was 9, her grandfather said to her at a birthday party, ―I don‘t think you should eat cake,‖ and made comments about how many calories each bite had inside as she ate it. The judgement of Sereda‘s body increased after she lost 57 kg. Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively (消极的) with Sereda‘s new body type. ―I am afraid of going out and having to deal with all these comments,‖ Sereda said.

Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight, it doesn‘t make them
