The problem was that to enroll for his class I first had to show him my poems in person and be accepted. I made an appointment. I handed him my poemsand to my amazement, he told me what he liked about them. I was speechless.I joined the class. When I read aloud one of my poems, he would speak of it in a way that made me feel he was in touch with my innermost(内心的) intention in writing the poem. Whenever he had a suggestion, therefore, I eagerly looked for a way to carry it out.One day two graduate students from the class remained in the room. They were talking about a poem that one of them had written. Instead of speaking like Elliot Coleman, though, the other student was listing the poems deficiencies. After a while, the poems author seemed to be running out of defense. He said desperately, “Well, Elliot Coleman likes this poem.” However, the critical student said, “But Elliot Coleman likes everything!”At that moment I understood two things. I understood what the critic meant, of course: if you like everything, its the same as liking nothing. But I also understood that liking everything equally was not what Elliot Coleman did. Neither did he pretend to like anything. I understood his great gift: to FIND WHAT THERE WAS TO LIKE in everything.Your ability to find the good and likable in your life allows you to nurture(培养) that little beauty into something bigger and better. It helps you focus on your strengths and be grateful for what you have, and these are the keys to your success. 41.

It also detoxifies(除去的毒素) livers and kidneys, and carries away waste from the body. And when it comes to digestion it will not happen without water. Fiber alone cannot aid proper digestive function by itself. In fact, without water as its partner, good fiber goes bad, causing constipation(便秘) and extreme discomfort. Drinking water is important if youre trying to lose weight and some studies have shown that thirst and hunger sensations take place together. If there is slight dehydration(脱水), the thirst mechanism may be mistaken for hunger and one may eat some food. As most food contains some water, if one doesnt drink much water they may be driven to eat more food to gain the necessary water supply. However, you also gain the undesirable effects if increased calories. Drinking more water can help to prevent overeating and benefit weight loss. It is better to drink smaller quantities of water more frequently than to drink a lot of water at one time. It is recommended to drink 8 to 12 ounces a day and if you have not been drinking water regularly, you should double the recommended amount because your cells are already dehydrated. Make sure that you dont drink too much water in the morning prior to any physical activity. It is very essential to plan a proper routine for water drinking. Water which is not harmful to health and has all qualities to serve as drinking water is called potable water. The potable water must be free from heavy metals, suspended particles and pathogens like bacteria. The polluted sky, dusty winds, chemicals spewed(涌出) from industries get dissolved with rainwater, causing acid rain. It is not advisable to drink such rainwater.49. According to the first paragraph, water_.A. can help to purify your body B. has some digestive functionsC.will mix with vitamins and nutrients D. can prevent all kinds of diseases50. In order to lose weight youd better _.A. eat food containing water B. refuse to take in caloriesC.take part in more physical activities D. drink enough water every day51. We can infer from the third paragraph that we should _.A. drink much water at one time B. gain much water in the morningC.form a good habit of water drinking D.drink double the proper amount every day52. The author suggests that we not drink rainwater probably because_.A. there is enough drinking water B. it is harmful to our body healthC.it includes many kind of metals D. we should try to save more waterD A study of the impact of 3D in the classroom has found that it improves test results by an average of 17%. Increasingly schools are using 3D projectors and learning resources to add a new dimension to learning. The research, conducted in seven schools across Europe, found that 3D-enabled learning tools helped children concentrate more.来源:Z.xx.k.Com It also led shy children to speak up in class discussions. Only a handful of schools in the UK use the technology, which requires a 3D-enabled projector as well as 3D glasses for all pupils and a set of bespoke(定做的) learning resources. The study, conducted by researchers from the International Research Agency on behalf of Texas Instruments, assessed 740 students in schools across France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, the UK and Sweden. Students were tested before and after the lessons with a control group learning with traditional resources only. On average, 86% of pupils in 3D classrooms improved in test results, compared to 52% of children using traditional teaching methods. It also found that attention levels rose sharplywith 92% of the class paying attention during 3D lessons compared to 46% in the traditional learning environment. “It grabbed childrens attention and this carried on beyond the 3D episode, it seemed to trigger an interest in learning that maintained through the rest of the lesson,” said Prof. Anne Bamford, who led the study. “The level of questioning also increased and teachers reported that the children asking questions were those that wouldnt normally engage in class,” she told the BBC. Researchers observed a series of biology lessons, in which children learned about the functions of the body. “Children can see how things function. Instead of learning about the heart statically(静态地) they can see it in a solid way, literally see blood passing through the valves, see exchange of oxygen, rotate it, tilt it and zoom in, ” said Prof. Bamford.53.3D-enabled learning tools have the following benefits EXCEPT that _.A. they can help children concentrate more in classB. they can make shy children speak up in class discussionC. they can improve childrens test resultsD. they can make students have fewer questions to ask54. In the study, students have to _.A. learn in both 3D classrooms and traditional classroomsB. learn the lessons staticallyC. have a test before and after the lessonsD. be chosen across the world55. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. European and American students participated in the studyB. 3D learning tools are positive for childrenC. 3D lessons have
