A. Learning, not memorizing B. Studying gets boring C. Less a stress with tests
D. Better job preparation E. Better by the book F. Creative learning
| Matt | 16. I think kids learn better by studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you’ll remember it. Hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much. |
| Katie | 17. When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will be most likely to take notes of all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better. |
| Alyssa | 18. With a hands-on project, you can be creative while you learn. It’s also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards. Plus with a hands-on project, you can learn more than you expected. It’s more satisfying to learn on your own without someone explaining it to you. |
| Wendy | 19. Hands-on projects are better. When you are studying for a test, it can get boring and then you get distracted(注意力分散的). You learn better by doing projects because it is not boring and you experience new things depending on what you are doing. |
| Haley | 20. I think kids learn hands-on projects because they have to consider the topic, instead of just memorizing information that they’ll forget about after the test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. |

Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the best things we do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in CO2 in the air and stop global warming.
A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth’s green vegetation (植被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area had increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s.
The growth mainly came from China’s forest protection programs, NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba, Hebei Province. It was once a desert.

【推荐3】Have you ever eaten a whole packet of biscuits when you were planning to only have one? Or have you stayed up much later than you planned, or even all night, having “just one more” try in a game? Both of these are examples of mindlessness. When we live this way, we are not fully awake and not fully living our lives.
When we are mindful, we are different. We are conscious of our thoughts, our actions and what is happening around us. We might notice a beautiful sunset or really listen carefully to what a friend is saying, rather than planning what we’re going to say next. We are also clear about our own feelings and thoughts. So we are consciously deciding what to pay attention to, we are not worrying about the past or planning for the future and we are not trying to control or stop our thoughts or feelings—we’re just noticing them.
For most people, life is getting busier and more stressful(有压力的). Technology means
that we always have something to do and there isn’t much opportunity to just “be”. People are often doing two or three things at the same time: texting while watching TV, or even looking at phones while walking.
Research shows that mindfulness reduces stress. It can help you to focus, to have a better memory and to think more clearly. It can also help you to manage pain better and to improve sleep, and it can even help you to lose weight because you won’t eat that whole packet of biscuits without thinking!
A very simple technique that you can try right now is to close your eyes for a few minutes and count how many sounds you can hear. This will help you to focus on what is happening right now. Another technique is to focus on a piece of food. Instead of eating it without thinking, notice how it feels and how it tastes.
Both of these techniques help you to slow down and focus on the present moment, as Jon Kabat Zinn says, mindfulness is: “Paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and without judging. ”
