6 . One night at the kitchen table a few years ago, my oldest son asked me for homework help. But when I took a look at his assignment, I realized I had no idea how to help him. He was taking computer science (CS) at his high school, and I had zero knowledge of this subject that experts call as important as reading, writing and math.

In fact, the headmaster at the high school where I teach business education had asked me to learn how to teach CS several times before, but I always said no. After all, I have three teenage sons and a lot on my plate already. I thought I had no time to go back to school and learn a new subject.

But that night when I was unable to help my son, I began to question my resistance (抗拒). I later sat in on his CS class, which was taught by a teacher trained by TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools). She hadn’t had CS experience before, but she sure seemed like she knew what she was doing!

So I decided to jump in with the support of TEALS. I wanted to give my students at Chelan High School the chance to learn CS. I took a TEALS training course before I started teaching. My sons also sat next to me as I tried out assignments, and they guided me when I got stuck. Finally, with the help of industry experts who made conference calls (电话会议) in my class, I felt like I could become a CS teacher.

I wasn’t shy about not being an expert. I told my students, “I’m learning alongside you. I don’t always have the answers, but we can find them out together.” And honestly, they teach me as much as I teach them! They encourage me, too. They egg me on to be more creative. They push me to keep learning, and keep trying because I have to keep up with them!

9 . Staying fit is a great way to improve your mood and physical health. With some simple tricks, you can stay fit for years to come!

Start walking, jogging or cycling

No matter what your speed is, walking, jogging and cycling are very important parts of a healthy lifestyle.     1    

Come up with a daily walking, jogging or cycling routine that fits with your schedule first. After a while you can increase your distance, speed and the length of your workout.

    2    . For example, if you drive to the grocery store, try to park your car in a far away spot from the entrance. So you have to walk those extra steps to get there. If you live close enough to school, a good idea would be to start walking.

Exercise in the classroom .

Not everyone has the time or money to go to the gym and there is no need to.     3     Some in-classroom exercises include:

Sit-ups. Sit-ups can be done by simply laying on the ground or with a chair or exercise ball.

Push-ups.     4    

Join a school sports team

Joining a school sports team may be a great way to get outside, move around and have some fun!     5     It is a great way for you to join at least one of them.

A．Go out of your way to walk more

B．The most popular school sports are basketball and football

C．Working out in the classroom is very easy and can be very beneficial

D．If you like the gym atmosphere then the gym is a great place to stay fit

E．Use your weight against the floor or steps to work on your upper body strength

F．They are activities that keep your heart and lungs active and your blood flowing

G．Many schools have their own sports teams that meet and play in the after-school time

10 . Extremely low temperature, strong winds and endless white snow are just a few of the challenges explorers must face in the Polar areas. But a 16-year-old British girl didn't let these worry her. On April 15 Alicia Adams became the youngest person to walk to the North Pole.

She completed the adventure with her geology teacher and two other companions. Each of them carried 30 kilograms of supplies. At times temperatures fell to -45C during the 320-kilometre trip. But they made it in ten days, two days less than her famous father, David Adams' time record for the same walk.

“It is a really good feeling, more of an achievement,” said Alicia Adams after coming to the end of her adventure. “The winds were like angry beasts roaring behind us. The trip seemed endless and there was nothing in sight: no buildings, no people, and no animals. Sometimes we had to walk across lakes covered with thin ice, which is the deadliest threat.”

David Adams is a top British explorer, who reached both the South and North poles on foot. He also set a series of hot air-balloon records and climbed the highest mountain on every continent. “I take pride in what she has achieved but a bit annoyed that she has beaten my time,” her father said playfully.

Asked if there would be any future joint adventures, the dad joked, “I think I would be struggling to keep up with her now.”

Alicia returned to Britain last week where she faces a more normal task of going to school. And she said her achievement would not necessarily mark the start of a life-long exploration. “Going to school is on top of my list,” she said.

1. How long did it take David Adams to complete the same adventure?

A．6 days.

B．8 days.

C．10 days.

D．12 days.

2. What was the biggest danger during Alicia Adams' adventure?

A．The lack of equipment and supplies.

B．The angry wild animals in the polar areas.

C．The strong icy winds and endless white snow.

D．The need to cross the lakes covered with thin ice.

3. How did David Adams really feel about his daughter's adventure?

A．Angry.

B．Proud.

C．Worried.

D．Sad.

4. What is Alicia's plan for the near future?

A．To go back to school to study.	B．To start more explorations by herself.
C．To challenge more of her father's records.	D．To have an adventure together with her dad.
