Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes.Ms.Cousins is a skilled choreographer (舞蹈指导) as well as an experienced dance educator.She is a Master of Arts in dance education from Teachers College,Columbia University.The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford.Ms.Milford is the head librarian at the Allendale Public Library as well as a columnist(专栏作家) for the professional journal Library Focus.
The courses are part of the Allendale Cultural Center’s Project Teen,which was organized by Leah Martin,Director of the Cultural Center.According to Martin,this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more necessary part of the Allendale community.Over the last several years,the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined.Project Teen is primarily funded by the McGee Arts Foundation,an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults.The other members of Project Teen are two students at Allendale’s Brookdale High School and three adults with backgrounds in education and the arts.
The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brookdale High School,and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their journal works in Pulse,Brookdale’s student literary magazine.Students who complete the hip hop class will be qualified to participate in the Allendale Review,an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors,musicians,and dancers.
All classes are scheduled to begin immediately after school,and transportation will be available from Brookdale High School to the Allendale Cultural Center and the Allendale Public Library.For more information about Project Teen,contact the cultural center’s programming office at 9880099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog.The office is located on the third floor of the Allendale Town Hall.

A.teenagers do not have enough hobbies |
B.all young people should write in a journal daily |
C.teenagers are in need of guidance and direction |
D.writing in a journal can help teenagers become creative writers |

C.The most important information first,followed by background and details. |
D.The background first,followed by the most important information and details. |
Food
Come mealtime,astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early space missions,astronauts could eat only freezedried food that didn’t require any preparation.But the space station is equipped with water,microwave ovens,and refrigerators,allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food,including fruit,vegetables,and ice cream!
Sleep
Each crew member has a private room.With no gravity,they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds,or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep,but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!
Exercise
You might not think it,but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts don’t stand up,sit down or walk in space,so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this,astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes,rowing machines,and other equipment about two hours every day.
Clothing
Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S.shuttle or Russian rockets.But once they’re safe inside the space station,crew members can wear regular clothing.Of course,a specially designed,pressurized space suit is required for space walks.It has to withstand(经受住) flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the station to 250 degrees in the hot sun.
Personal Cleanliness
Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn’t flow in a stream—it suspends in a bubble!Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers,shampoo,and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space?With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to dispose of waste.
小题1:The facts about life in space are all mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A.clothing | B.entertainment |
C.sleep | D.exercise |
A.The temperature is quite different in different places in space. |
B.Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space. |
C.Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now. |
D.Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm. |
A.It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space. |
B.It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily. |
C.Astronauts’ lives are more important in space than on earth. |
D.It can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss. |
A.Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past. |
B.Astronauts eat only fruit,vegetables and ice cream now. |
C.Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space. |
D.Space food is getting better now than before. |
Reading on the Internet has changed how we use our brains.Facing a lot of texts,video,music and links to other web pages and blogs,our minds have become used to skimming and scanning information.As a result,we have developed sharper skills at making fast decisions,particularly visual ones,Carr wrote.
But now most of us seldom read books or long articles that would help us focus.We are becoming more like librarians—able to find information quickly and see clearly the best nuggets(有价值的资料).That lack of focus hinders(阻碍) our longterm memory,leading many of us to feel distracted,he wrote.
“What we are losing is a whole other set of mental skills,which require not the shifting of our focus but the maintaining of our focus,” Carr said,adding that for centuries books protected our brains from distraction and focused our minds on one topic at a time.
But with devices such as Apple’s iPad becoming common,Carr predicts books also will change.“New forms of reading always require new forms of writing,” he said.Carr has a suggestion for those who feel web surfing has left them incapable of concentration—slow down,turn off the Internet and practice the skills of contemplation(沉思) and reflection.“It is pretty clear from the brain science that if you don’t exercise particular cognitive skills,you are going to lose them,” he said.“If you are constantly distracted,you are not going to think in the same way that you would think if you paid attention.”
小题1:What topic is Nicholas Carr’s new book mainly concentrating on?
A.Whether there is any need for us to surf the Internet. |
B.How the Internet changes our way of thinking. |
C.What we should do when we are surfing the Internet. |
D.Whether our minds are being influenced by the Internet. |
A.Anxious. | B.Relaxed. |
C.Concentrated. | D.Puzzled. |
A.prevents | B.causes |
C.protects | D.sharpens |
A.They should read more books besides surfing the Internet. |
B.They should often slow down their pace of modern living. |
C.They should often get away from the disturbing of the Internet. |
D.They should spend more time thinking while surfing the Internet. |
As a reviewer,you bring together the two strands of accurate,analytical reading and strong,personal response when you indicate(指出) what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader(by explaining what it meant to you).In other words,reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book.Thus,in writing a review,you combine the skills of describing what is on the page,analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose,and expressing your own reactions.
Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book,like:
Title.
Author.
Place of publication,publisher,date of publication.
Number of pages.
Like most pieces of writing,the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say.The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again,so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information.You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book,the purpose or audience for the book,and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book.Next,you should give a summary of the main points,quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author.Finally,you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book.In this section,you might discuss some of the following issues:
•How well the book has achieved its goal.
•What possibilities are suggested by the book.
•What the book has left out.
•How the book compares with others on the subject.
•What specific points are not convincing.
•What personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.
It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s,so that you don’t confuse your readers.
Then,like other essays,you can end with a direct comment on the book,and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
There is,of course,no set form,but a general rule is that the first onehalf to twothirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least onethird should evaluate the book.
小题1:According to the text,personal response of a book reviewer refers to “________”.
A.accurate and analytical reading |
B.the reviewer’s indication of what the book is |
C.the reviewer’s indication of what the book meant to a reader |

C.The conclusion. | D.The introduction. |
A.there is no heading in a book review |
B.the book review is not complex enough |
C.the reviewer’s point of view is mixed with the author’s |
D.there are some different issues listed in the book review |
A.Steps to read a book. |
B.Tips for writing a book review. |
C.The way to develop your idea. |
D.Things not to be avoided in a book review. |
Seacamp’s tropical marine location in the lower Florida Keys enables it to offer a truly unique marine science program.This program is the heart of Seacamp.Young scientists participate in a variety of courses under the guidance of academically trained marine science instructors and biologists.All science activities include studies in both the field and the laboratory.Each session,140 to 160 campers come to Seacamp,mostly from the US,but also from across the world.There are about 30 international campers each summer from an average of twelve countries.Many Seacamp program graduates have gone on to careers as environmental educators and marine scientists.
One of Seacamp’s unique aspects is that campers create their schedules.In addition to science classes,campers choose from a variety of programs to ensure that there is something interesting and exciting for everyone.Campers interested in journalism may work on the camp newspaper,SEASCOPE,which is published periodically during camp sessions.Arts activities are also included.Photography allows campers to take home memories of friends,wildlife,and underwater experiences.
Seacamp teaches the fun and skills of sailing.It’s an excellent way for future marine scientists to become familiar with the winds,tides and currents that are of primary concern in oceanography.Basic Red Cross certification is offered to beginners in sailing.The Red Cross course in advanced lifesaving is taught at Seacamp.The course is designed to increase the campers’ ability to recognize and avoid dangerous water conditions and practices and to use selfrescue skills to get out of dangerous situations.
Parents may bring campers by car to Big Pine Key.Counselors(辅导员) also meet participants at the Miami International Airport on the opening day of camp and accompany them to Big Pine Key on a bus.The fee for roundtrip service is $90.To join the Seacamp adventure,interested campers should contact Seacamp for an application.
We love to talk about camp!For more information or to ask any questions you might have,please give our friendly staff a call and we’ll be glad to help!
