Keren Taylor used hers to launch a nonprofit, WriteGirla creative writing program for at-risk teenagers in Los Angeles, where nearly one in five students drop out before high school graduation. In the last 12 years, Taylors organization has helped around 500 girls go on to college. This year, 350 girls from 60 area high schools are participating in Taylors program. All the girls receive one-on-one mentoring to work on their writing, speaking skills and academics.

A teacher at John Cabot Academy, Neil says he wants his students “to know everything I know”.Neil was attracted into the classroom after 19 years in industry. Ready for a change, he took his postgraduate certificate of education (PGCE) at Bristol University in 2011-12 and majored in physics. “When I first went to university for my BSc, I studied chemistry, physics and astronomy. During this time, I found physics to be a stimulating and exciting subject. I decided teaching would provide me with a platform to inspire children and get them to understand some of the most interesting and important ideas humans have ever had.”Today, there are a lot of opportunities for those interested in postgraduate teacher training. They may be offered a subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) course programme to top up subject knowledge and the Premier Plus（优先推荐） service can provide one-to-one guidance and support throughout the application process. Graduates with a 2:1 or a 1st could receive a 25,000 scholarship while training to teach subjects like physics.For Neil, the change into teaching felt natural. He was also involved in the Scout movement, and helped his son with school work. “Seeing his enjoyment of learning really fired up my motivation to switch careers and train to teach.”Now, industry experience only adds to that drive. “I teach things Ive done,” Neil explains. “That can help it seem more relevant and interesting for students. Id advise anyone thinking of changing to a career in teaching to do it. This is the happiest Ive ever been in employment.”To get into teaching and for support throughout the application process, sign up online or call the Teaching Line on0800 389 2500.25.

What type of writing is this text? A. An inspiring story. B. An application letter. C. An advertisement. D. A science report.CAcronyms（首字母缩略词） are widely popular across the Internet, especially on social media and texting applications, because, in some cases, they offer a shorthand for communication that is meant to be instant.“LMK”- let me know - and “WYCM” - will you call me? - are innocent enough. But some acronyms can be a shorthand for cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, and so on. The issue, especially for parents, is to understand the slang that could signal some dangerous teen behavior. And it certainly helps for a parent to know that “PIR” means “parent in room”, which could mean the teen wants to have a conversation about things that his or her mom and dad might not approve of.Katie Green is a national Internet safety expert who has provided Internet and technology safety training to schools and communities for more than seven years. She says research shows that a majority of teens believe that their parents are starting to keep eyes on their online and social media lives. “With that, acronyms can be used by kids to hide certain parts of their conversations from attentive parents,” Green said. “Acronyms used for this purpose could potentially raise some red flags for parents.”But parents would drive themselves crazy, if they tried to decode every text, email and post they see their teen sending or receiving. But how, on earth, is a parent to keep up with all these acronyms, especially since new ones are being introduced every day? Parents can always do a Google search if they meet with a phrase they arent familiar with, but the other option is asking their children, since these phrases can have different meanings for different people. Asking kids also shows that parents are paying attention and sparks the conversation around their kids online behaviors, which is extremely important.28. When a kid sends “PIR” to his friend on the Internet, maybe he _. A. intends to show he is innocent B. is asking his parents for permission C. is doing something bad or dangerous D. has been always behaving himself 29. According to Katie Green, a majority of teens use acronyms to _. A. type and communicate faster B. avoid being known what they are up to C. accept the Internet and technology training D. raise red flags before their parents30. If parents cant understand seemingly problematic acronyms online, theyd better _.A. talk with their kids about them B. go on doing a Google search C. leave the things as they are D. cut off the kids connection with the outside world31. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Acronymsa way to hide your feelings. B. Acronyms and their bad influences. C. Different meanings of the acronyms. D. Parents worries about their kids using acronyms.DWork your brain!Between 2 and 3 pounds of wonder, it controls everything we say, do or think, who we are and what we care about, the way we walk or laugh or figure out things, what we like and the talents we possess, how we see and talk and run and jump and process our food.The brain uses 20 percent of our bodys oxygen and 20 percent of its blood. Somewhere within its protein, fat, 100,000 miles of blood vessels and 100 billion nerve cells, it helps us remember where we put our gym shoes. Change our temperature so we dont die because of the heat or cold. Speed us up or slow us down. Help us choose between orange juice or orange-flavored drinks.Its complexity is stunning, far beyond anything most of us can imagine. To keep this work of art as polished as possible, we need to eat right, exercise and keep mentally stimulated.Good nutrition helps brain cells communicate with each other. Exercise stimulates a hormone in our brain that improves memory. Mental stimulation keeps you sharp even as you age.“Its very important that we tell people to be physically active and mentally active,” said neurologist Malcolm Stewart.“People cannot stop aging, but youre able to reduce the damage; youre able to keep the function up.”The following are Dr. Stewarts suggestions for improving brain health.l NutritionAvoid fast food. Follow the old proverb: For breakfast, eat like a king; for lunch, like a queen; for supper, like a beggar.l ExerciseDo a combination of stretching aerobic and musclestrengthening every day.l Mental gamesTry to have a sense of hope about the future. Do puzzles. Listen to music. Reach out to others to make their lives better.32.
