On Thursday, during writing class, Lucy's class is writing poems (诗歌) about space.
Lucy writes this poem about astronauts (宇航员).
Mrs. Johnson is very happy with Lucy's poem.
"Great work, Lucy. I really like that poem," she says. "I would like to put that poem on the wall and other students can enjoy it. Will that be OK?"
Marvin hears Mrs. Johnson talking to Lucy and has a different idea.
"Ppfffffitt, I think my poem is much better than that," he says. "In my poem, astronauts fight a lot of bad people from other spaces and save the Earth (拯救地球). They are much cooler. "
"Yes, but your spelling needs a lot of work, Marvin," Mrs. Johnson answers.
"Earth begins with the letter E, not U. " Lucy says.

If you are the director, you need to find some people to act in your movie. You also need a person to help with sound, and another person to work the camera (摄影机). Other people can help to hold lights, do makeup, and build sets (搭建布景).
When you have all the people and things you need, you can start to shoot (拍摄) your movie. It will take a long time, but it will be fun. Everybody works together to make it great.
When you finish shooting it, you need a computer to edit (剪辑) your movie carefully. Some people think editing is the best part of making a movie. This is when your story starts to come together. When you finish editing, you can show your movie to your friends and family.
All you have to do now is to watch the movie and relax!
Some people are very forgetful, while others can remember everything they have done. Scientists know a lot about how our brains keep and remember facts and experiences. ____①____ There is little study on how or why the brain forgets things. A new study looks at forgetting. A team of scientists from the USA studied the brain's process of forgetting things. They study the brain and how it thinks and works. Their work may help people who have memory (记忆) problems. It may also help those with depression and dementia (抑郁症和痴呆症). ___②___ The lead scientist, Marie Banich, said, "It may sound surprising that people can decide what and how they forget. "
Professor Banich said forgetting is important. She said it keeps the brain working well. Her study found ways that people take information away from their brain. She said, "We have control (控制) over the ability to take information away from…our thoughts. "___③___ However, although we can control what and how we forget, the act of forgetting is difficult and needs a lot of energy (能量). Another scientist, Sara Festini, agreed. She said, "We've found that the act of forgetting no-longer-relevant (不相关) information from the mind is good for people, but it doesn't happen by the brain itself. " ___④___ Researchers will now look at why we forget recent things, like where we left our keys.
