Some people have a very poor sense of direction. 1 , I am one of them. I have visited a place many 2 but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared (敢) to 3 strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the 4 I was going to.
Now I am no longer too 5 to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information, as a result, I spend 6 time finding where I want to go. Because of this, I always try to avoid 7 people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, "Sorry, I am a 8 here."
Once, 9 my way to work, I was stopped by a woman. She looked a little worried, she asked me 10 I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. Without thinking, I gave her my 11 answer. But just as I walked on only a few steps., I realized that she had 12 the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn 13 and look for her. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office, and I didn't want to keep her 14 .
When I just got to my 15 the secretary showed in the woman who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed (尴尬的) I was and how surprised she was when we saw each other at the first sight!
Jun.17th 2021 Dayl--Guess where I am! Well, I am sitting inside the Shenzhou-12 spaceship with my "dad" Liu Boming and other two astronauts Nie Haisheng and Tang Hongbo. Dad told me that he was going to bring me along on a journey to a special place. Very few people will ever go to visit this place. I'm really looking forward to this day! Now, I will live a new life in space. Jul.25th 2021 Day39--Dad and his teammates are busy every day. But it's Sunday today and they don't have to work. Uncle Tang is now exercising on a special bicycle, and Uncle Nie is taking pictures at the window. Where is Dad? Oh, he's watching TV. The Tokyo Olympics have just started! Aug.20th 2021 Day65-Haha! I'm really lazy! I wrote my last diary almost a month ago! This morning, Dad and his teammates worked outside the space station again. This time, they were able to show that they had learnt a lot from their first experience. They planned to finish everything in seven hours, but they ended up only six hours. Sept. 1st 2021 Day77--A new school year begins today. Dad was invited to talk to students across China. He gave a talk about dreams. My biggest dream now is to let more people read my diary--Niuniu's diary. What is yours? Sept.17th 2021 Day93--It's the last day of our three month space journey! To be honest, I really don't want to leave! I wish I could someday visit this wonderful place again! |
Stonehenge is a large rock circle. It is not only one of Britain's most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (神秘的事物). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was the place where ancient leaders tried to speak with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can't be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later," he said. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日历). The large stones were put together in a certain way. On mid-summer's morning, the sun shines into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical use. They think the stones can keep people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up to your body," said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of these stones must be for a special need.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built, because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn't.
"We don't really know who built Stonehenge," says Paul Stoker. "And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working and great planners!"
A study shows that getting a later start to school is helping high school students in Seattle, Washington, get a little more sleep. In the study, teenagers did add 34 minutes of sleep a night. Students got more sleep, and had better grades, better test scores, and fewer absences.
The Seattle School District changed the start time from 7:50 a, m, to 8:45 a, m, in 20lin high schools and most middle schools, At the same time, many other American schools are also changing to later start times so that the teens who don't have enough sleep can get more sleeping time.
The scientists asked about 28,000 students and parents to complete surveys about school start times, the children's sleep habits and daytime sleepiness. The first survey was completed four months before a Denver school district changed the time that school began. The next survey was completed six months after the change, which allowed older students to start later. High school began about 70 minutes later at 8:20 a.m. Middle school started anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes later at 8:50 . m. And elementary school started 60 minutes earlier at 8 a. m. They made the final survey 18 months after the adjustments.
Both students and their parents answered questions about when children went to bed and woke on weekdays and weekends, how long they slept on weekends and how they felt during the day.
The elementary school students didn't experience much difference in the amount of time they slept before and after the school start time changed. The middle school students woke much later. High school students received the most sleep after the change, waking 45 minutes later. What the parents reported about their children showed the same trends (趋势). Many experts believe that starting school later does improve students' sleep but some think that students will still not get enough sleep no matter when school begins.

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. But English is very easy for me. I (learn) English for about 10 years and I'm good at it. Now let me (tell) you something about how I study English.
First, I think interest in English is (important) thing in learning English. When I began to learn English, it was fresh for me. I was (interest) in it, so I worked hard at it. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, English is foreign language, so I learn it well in the following ways: listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and build up a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again. And I also have a good habit-asking help whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking my English teacher or classmates. happy I am when I understand!
Besides, I often read English articles, jokes and easy novels. I find useful to help me understand the meanings of some words well. So doing more(read) is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English(diary). English has become a close friend of mine.
