          In the past，I always thought that being a teacher was an easy job. But I changed my        21        when I became a part-time teacher. About four years ago，Richard asked me         22           I could help teach his students how to make a website about themselves. I         23         because computer is what I do well and I didn't think teaching computer would be that          24       .
         But when I taught Richard's clase，some of the students         25        with their friends while I was to explaining how to do somethng. At first I just got angry with them，         26       Richard taught me to think why were doing this. He said that if he was          27         a lesson and the student were not listening，then he was angry with         28         for not making the lesson clear or interesting for them. I told him that I didn't          29         his idea. He then asked me if I had ever          30          the same thing. That made me stop. Of course I had!
           If any of my past teachers are          31         this，I want o say sorry if I sometimes played around in the class          32       you were teaching. I didn't think how that would make you feel. I promise I will do my best to be a good         33        in the future. Please help us when we don't understand and most          34        ，don't be quick to be angry when we fail.         35        of us are perfect but with your help we can be successful.

       When I was at school，our teacher told the class“You are what you eat.” My friends and I would laugh and call each other “hamburger”（汉堡）and“biscuits”. Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.
        This was 30 years ago when there were big movements to make British peopie healthier. We stzuted to eat boiled potatoes instead of French fries and drink fat-free milk instead of whole milk. At first I felt my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didn't get sick so often.
        So we agree that you become what you eat. Do you know what your friends eat just by looking at them? When you know the effects of diferent types of food，you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.
        Food has been so important to our health. Everyone has their own advice to give，which they have read about or have been told by older people. However，some of these pieces of advice seem to disagree with each other. For example，some say“Eating chocolate makes you fat”，while others say“Chocolate contains the important minerals（矿物质）like iron and magnesium（镁）.”In fact，what we need to find out is what type of chocolate to eat and how much of it to eat.

      Nancy wanted to make god use of her spare time. So she decided to work for the underdog. For the past several years，she has been putting her experience and energy to help a disadvantaged（条件差的）high school student.
      Naney knew that her knowledge would be best shared in a one-to-one situation.She found her
perfect match in Operation Jump Start（OJS）.
      OJS was founded in 1994 in Long Beach，California，with the-goal of helping students reach for higher education. It pairs students with experienced volunteers（志愿者），and provides them with workshops on writing，leadership development，and guided tours of various colleges.
      Since its start，OJS has helped 80 students graduate form high school，with 95 percent moving on to higher education.
Nancy and the girl，Yanira，spent most of their time on school work. Together the two often went to museums，zoos，the movies，and concerts；they even sang’in the school holiday show together！
     “I know I'm not like anyone else in Yanira's life，”Nancy says，“It’s been great to get to know her and to watch her change，grow，and learn.”
       Much to Naney’s excitenment，Yanira plans to attend John Jay College in New Yok city，where Naney’s father taught for his whole life. “Thee days I share her dream，and if she gets accepted I hope to travel to New York with her and show her around，”Nancy says.

        A world like no other-perhaps this is the best way to describe the world of the rainforest.No rainforest is the same-yet most rainforests can be found in the small land area 22.5 degrees north and 22.5 degrees south of the Equator（赤道）.You can find rainforests in South America and Indonesia. Other rainforests exist further form the Equator，in Thailand and Sri Lanka.
       Rainforests have their own perfect way for living. The tall trees make a huge umbrella of branches and leaves which protect themselves，smaller plants，and the forest animals form heavy rain，dry heat form the sun and strong winds. Rainforest trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches，although close together，never actually touch those of another tree.Scientists think this is a way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects（昆虫）.To live in the forest，animals must climb，jump，or fly across the branches and trees. The ground floor of the forest is not all leaves and bushes，like in films，but is actually fairly clear. It is where leaves become food for the trees and othe forest Life.
      Rainforests around the world are disappearing at a hish speed. A few thousand years ago，rainforests covered as much as 12% of the land surface on Earth，but today this has fallen to less than 5.3%. We hope that the world govemments work together with scientists to use their power and knowledge to keep the rainforests for our existence.
