【推荐3】A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo though he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.
“ Master,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “ This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher answered.
Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Soon after the match started, the boy seemed to lose. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the teacher appeared. “ No,” the teacher said, “Let him continue.” A short time after the match carried on, his opponent made a careless mistake. At once, the boy used his move to pin (压住) him. The boy won the match and the competition.
On the way home, the boy asked the teacher what was really in his mind. “ Why could I win the competition with only one move?” The teacher answered. “ First, you’ve mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, your opponent can only attack your left arm to win you.”

【推荐2】As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. "Let me tell you a story first," he said.
"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded(折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold(黑体) with the most eye-catching(引人注目的) color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see it and call a listener's name directly."
"I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that."

【推荐3】Military training (军训) is not just a Chinese tradition. Students in other countries also have it. Let's take a look!
China
Military raining in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention (站军姿), goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt (叠被子). Some students say that it is not useful. But others feel it encourages them to be more independent (独立的) and responsible (有责任感的).
The US
US schools don't force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems themselves. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person fails (失败), the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together.
The UK
The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练团，OTC) in some universities. In the OTC, students can learn military skills like first aid (急救), weapons (武器) training and radio communications (无线电通讯). Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £ 60 per day.

【推荐1】There are a lot of kinds of folk music in China, because China has 56 nationalities and every group has its own style of music. There is a lot of poetry（诗意）in Chinese folk songs, including ideas, feelings and images. But in pop songs, there is no poetry. Each Chinese folk song has its own personality, for example, Jasmine（茉莉花）, Dancing of Youth（青春舞曲）or My youth has gone away like a bird and never comes back.
Folk songs are from the people. Folk songs are like a way of serving the people, although folk songs express the feelings of the people. Chinese folk songs express the feelings, the emotions（感受）and the hopes of people about being in love or how hard it is.
“The more national, the more international.” In order to spread Chinese folk music, a forum（论坛）of folk songs called “Nanning International Festival of Folk Songs Art” is held every year. Chinese and overseas art groups and artists often perform at the opening ceremony, such as Chinese minority singers-Han Hong, Teng Ge'er and A'lilangs. The more widely it spreads, the more attention the music attracts.

Many parents think that it’s very difficult to get their children to do chores. But I think it’s easy to get children to do chores.
My daughter, Lucy is ten years old. At night, I write down her chores for the following day. Then I stick (贴) the paper with chores on her door.

Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”? “Laurels” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.
As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire England, Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough, but Mike doesn’t think so. At the age of 17, he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage.
Mike is now over 20, and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further. For his next adventure, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.
Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his adventures, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.
Amazing Facts:
Mike started sailing when he was seven.
His transatlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antigua.
