Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.

—Martin Luther King

I agree with King’s statement and argue while academic achievement is an essential 36of education, developing the self-respect, confidence and character of our children is 37 important.

My journey as a(n) 38 began 13 years ago. I had just graduated from Boston College and I was 39 about teaching and inspiring children from my community. However, I quickly became40 of the challenges that often prevented children from making the most of their education. While insufficient 41such as books and technology are commonly

34. It is not how much you have but how much you enjoy what you have _______ brings you

regarded as the leading factors impacting student performance42, I discovered that low self-respect and lack of confidence are more damaging.

My students’ struggles with low self-respect43 my memory thatwhen I was young I wouldbe 44 and considered unattractivebecause I had dark skin, tightly coiled hair and high cheekbones.

My students’struggles,45 with my own experience, forced me to write a song called “My Black Is Beautiful” in a(n)46 to change the way young girls of color view themselves.

Since the 47 of social media, developing the self-respect and confidence of our children has become more 48, not less. Students are being exposed to images of beauty that do not 49 who they are, reminding them they do not fit society’s beauty standard.

After years of observing many students struggling with low self-respect and confidence, I began to integrate ways to 50 the problem in my teaching. Although it 51 me there were no standardized methodologies 52 to handle these issues, it didn’t discourage me from developing my own curriculum to motivate students to believe in themselves.

So I decided to write a song, and53twelve of my students in its music video. In this way, I attempted to inspire them to embrace their natural beauty and to 54the message tothem that beauty does not always meet with a single, 55 standard.

GOT OLD PHONES? HERE’S HOW TO REUSE,

4

RECYCLE OR SELL THEM

It’s natural to get the phone-upgrade thirst when the likes of Apple, Samsung and others keep coming out with newer models. But what do you do with a serviceable but outdated device? Here’s a guide for figuring out what you might do with last year’s model (or even older ones).

DONATE TO CHARITY

Several charities accept old phones as a donation. But these groups probably won’t physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, they’ll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management. Nearly 60 percent of the phones charities collect are resold, according to a recent survey. They will pay for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones.

SELL SELL SELL

Once new models come out, older ones will flood onto eBay and other resale sites. How much money you can make off your old phone depends on the brand and how much wear and tear it’s seen.

The resale site Gazelle, for example, is offering $140 for a Verizon-ready Samsung Galaxy S7 in “good” condition. What does “good” mean? The phone has no cracks on the screen or body, powers on and makes calls, and is free of major scratches. A “perfect” phone that looks like it’s never been used will land you $15 more.

REUSE, REPURPOSE

Even without cellular service, your old phone will be able to get on Wi-Fi, so you can use it to post on Facebook or do pretty much anything else you want provided you are in Wi-Fi range. Keep it for yourself, give it to a broke friend, or load it up with kid-friendly apps and games and hand it down to your children. Or just keep it as a backup in case something horrible happens to your main phone.

56. Why do charities choose to sell a large proportion of their donations? A. Their management has made such a decision.

B. They need the earnings to cover their daily expenses.

C. The donations they have received exceed what they need. D. They can earn more profits without paying for shipping. 57. Which of the following is TRUE about old models?

A. Old models crowd onto online resale sites before new models are launched. B. The better condition old models are in, the higher price they will fetch. C. The old models handed down to your kids should be able to get on Wi-Fi. D. You should always have an old model at hand in case your main phone fails. B

The idea of exploring the past through the human history of a single crop has been around for a while. What is striking about James Walvin’s new book is that, while focusing only on sugar, it does not restrict itself to the past. Rather, the book takes the story of perhaps the most popular crop of all time and brings it disturbingly into the present day.

Walvin begins his research where most of us begin our relationship with the stuff: the sweet shops of childhood memory. If sugar is a guilty pleasure then it is one with which almost every one of us is drunk on a daily basis. The unstoppable march of sugar raises the question: why? After all, sugar cane(甘蔗)is difficult to grow and the processes of refinement and clarification required to produce eatable sugar are time-consuming and expensive. Yet, as Walvin explains, sugar has one enormous temptation: it satisfies our seemingly born desire for sweet tastes, but the
