A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive(原谅) in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's1and the date on it and put it in the plastic bag. Some of their bags were very2.They were then told to carry this bag with them3for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at4. The5carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to(注意) it all the time so that they wouldn't6it or leave it in embarrassing(尴尬的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went7and smelt terrible. Too often we think of tolerance(宽容) as a8to other people, but it clearly is for9! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred(仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to10them around all our lives.
As summer ends and fall begins, you can still enjoy spring flowers inside! It's an easy way to make your home look pretty.Some flowers grow from seeds.Other flowers grow from bulbs (球茎).Some bulb flowers are easier than others to grow inside.A good one to try first is called a paperwhite.As many as twelve sweet-smelling flowers can grow from one paperwhite bulb.
But how can you grow one inside? Please follow those steps below:
⒈Find a large glass jar (罐) that is clear enough to see through.Fill the jar almost to the top with stones or shells.This will give the bulb's roots something to hold on to as they grow.It will also give you a place to set the bulb.
⒉Place the bulb on top of the stones.The bottom of the bulb is the part that is pointed, like the bottom of a heart shape.Push the bulb into the stones just far enough to make it stay.
⒊Fill the jar with water.Use just enough water to cover just the bottom part of the bulb.
⒋Put the jar in a place where the bulb will get plenty of light.Check every day to make sure there is still the right amount of water in the jar.Add water when it is needed.Soon the roots will start to grow.In a few weeks, you can enjoy watching the flowers bloom (开花).
Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation (发音) will be excellent.Just send …" and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that.The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue.And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country.
Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want.Every year many millions of people start learning one.How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes.If they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school.A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day.
It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary.They need the language in order to do their work better.For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able toread books and reports in the foreign language.Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work.Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work for them.
I am a Special Agent (特工) for the FBI (美国联邦调查局).In order to become a Special Agent, you must graduate from college and have some other skills, training, or important work experience.
Special Agents receive training at a place called the FBI Academy, a special school for the FBI.The training is 16 weeks long.While they are at the Academy, they go to class and have homework just like you do! Special Agents take classes in science, law, and how to do investigations (调查).New Special Agents are also taught how to use a gun safely.Once they graduate from the FBI Academy, Agents must be treated on their shooting skills four times a year.
You know how important it is to eat well and exercise, right? For Special Agents, it is no different.They must be healthy. If they don't pass tests that check their physical skills, they can't become Agents!
At the FBI Academy, Special Agents learn self-defense (自卫) skills.These skills help them protect themselves from someone who tries to hurt them.They also learn how to arrest (逮捕) people without anyone getting hurt.
The FBI has a training town called Hogans Alley. In this town, actors and actresses play bad people and new Agents are ordered to stop them from doing "bad things".In this way, the Agents can practise the skills they learn in class.

Yesterday LiMing asked me.
Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or to your study.If so, then you know that is stress.You are worried too much about something.The bad feelingin your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.
However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school.You feel nervous but excited.This kind of stress can help you to get things well done.And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.
On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems.You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you're doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy.That kind of stress isn't going to help you.And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life.
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life.Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly.Have some regular exercise.You should spend some time for fun.Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends.Soon after that, you'll probably get away with your stress.
