slow journalism.the slow food movement reminds us of the value of locally produced, seasonal foods, just as slow travel brings us back to local traditions we miss as we fly off in search of peak experiences.in a 24hour news era, slow journalism avoids the demands of the breaking story, revisiting and reflecting on old news.in almost every area of life, we are turning towards a world, where time is not a luxury (奢侈品) but a resting place and slowness is almost a necessity.but that doesnt happen in schools.courses are forced into short half terms.from the moment we go through school gates to the time we get out again a few short hours later, there must be activity, busyness and speed.reflection is out.we dont give students the time they need to read and they turn to secondrate substitutes instead.why read plato when you can read a book about plato? the answer is that what plato wrote is much more interesting, dramatic and enjoyable than any of the thousands of books that have been written about him.i once met a friend, a published poet.“hows the poetry going？” i asked.“its been a good week，” he replied.“i wrote three lines.” would we accept that rate of return from our students?slow teaching means giving students time to read and think.how often do we demand immediate answers to our questions? silence is more often uncomfortable than golden in the classroom.slow teaching also means resisting the temptation (诱惑) to finish every discussion and bring thinking to an end.slow teaching encourages us to work for as long as the topic demands, additionally, slow teaching means giving students time to explore the natural world and scientific concepts and time to go outside the curriculum and further explore it.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。在其他行业，人们似乎已经接受了慢节奏的生活方式，但在教育领域，慢节奏的教学仍遥不可及。8what is suggested in the first paragraph?apeople find it a luxury to enjoy time.bbeing slow is becoming a movement.cslowness is a

dont give students the time they need to read”，第三段的最后一句和最后一段可知，学校课程紧张，学生学习忙碌，甚至没有足够的时间思考、阅读、探索，即学生们处于一个快节奏的世界。10how can students benefit from slow teaching?athey neednt have a long teaching

recently came out with a serious warning for people. while at the starmus festival, a festival in trondheim, norway, celebrating science and the arts, hawking warned people that the human race is in serious danger.hawking criticized president donald trump for denying climate change. then the physicist warned the audience, “i am not denying the importance of fighting climate change and global warming, unlike donald trump, who may just have taken the most serious and wrong decision on climate change this world has seen.”hawking proposed that the leading countries should send astronauts to the moon before 2020 to restart a movement of more exploration in space. the bbc reported that hawking suggested that we “build a lunar base in 30 years time and send people to mars by 2025”according to the bbc, professor hawking said, “spreading out into space will completely change the future of humanity.” he continued, “i hope it would unite competitive nations in a single goal to face the common challenge for us all.” the physicist shared more ideas to motivate the younger generation to continue exploring space. hawking stated, “a new and ambitious space program would excite (young people), and stimulate interest in other areas, such as astrophysics (天体物理学) and cosmology (宇宙学)”hawking also revealed his vision of other forms of energy that could move us to a new planet. he warned the audience, “the earth is under threat from so many areas that it is difficult for me to be positive.” he continued, “our natural resources are being drained at an alarming rate. we have given our planet the disastrous gifts of climate change, rising temperatures, reduction of the polar ice caps, deforestation (滥伐森林), and decimation (大批杀死) of animal species. we can be an ignorant and unthinking (考虑不周的) lot.”the professor warned the audience that doing nothing would lead nowhere. he said, “if we succeed we will send a probe (航天探测器) to alpha centauri within the lifetime of some of you alive today. it is clear that we are entering a new space age. we are standing at the threshold (开端) of a new era. human colonization and moving to other planets is no longer science fiction, and it can be science fact.” hawking advised the audience to move to other worlds because we are running out of space.语篇解读：文章引用了世界知名物理学及天文学家霍金的观点，阐明了人类必须离开地球在太空中找一处新家的原因。12according to hawking, what is the first
