Ms. Johnson will never forget Chelsea, a wounded soul. Over the years Chelsea had always struggled, both academically and with self-confidence. Additionally, her mother had died after a heroic battle with a terminal illness when Chelsea was a fifth grader. As she began her sixth grade, Chelsea was still hurting. Ms. Johnson worried about her with good reason.
Each fall, Ms. Johnson takes the students for a five-day adventure at Wolf Ridge, an environmental learning center in the woods of Northern Minnesota overlooking Lake Superior. The week is filled with learning, team building, and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. They go in October, and the turning leaves of trees come to symbolize the changes happening to the students over the week. The steps and growth students make at Wolf Ridge become a metaphor Ms. Johnson uses throughout the year as her students face challenges in the classroom.
The most difficult activity is the High Adventure Ropes Course, which stretches from tower to tower high amongest the treetops forty feet above the ground. Ms. Johnson knew this experience would be particularly difficult for Chelsea.
When it was time for her to fasten the harness (安全带), Chelsea was already trembling. The harness offers physical protection, but not much mental comfort when nothing but a slippery board or an unsteady wire is between your feet and the ground far below. Chelsea stepped hesitantly onto the Swinging Wood Bridge, and only after the instructor’s encouragement, slowly made her way across its shaky boards up to the first tower. With the support of a chaperone (监护人) stationed there, she began her way across the Burma Bridge, made of merely three wires and straps. Her trembling body added to its shaking. From down below, her ground partners shouted up supportively, “Come on, Chelsea, you’re doing great!”
Chelsea finally reached the second tower and eventually stepped out onto the next challenge and slowly inched her way across.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

Paragraph 1:
Now she faced what for many is the most difficult activity: the Single Wire.

The final challenge is a zip line (滑索), which requires leaping off the last tower and sliding to the ground.

8 . As school starts this fall in Tununak, a tiny Eskimo community of Alaska, Teacher Ben Orr is planning to invite elderly storytellers into the classroom so his young students can learn and then write down traditional legends and knowledge of their disappearing culture. For Donna Maxim’s third-graders in Boothbay, Me., writing will become a tool in science and social studies as students record observations, questions and reactions about what they discover each day. In Eagle Butte, S.D., Geri Gutwein has designed a writing project in which her ninth-grade students exchange letters with third-graders about stories they have read. This year a few of her students will sit with Cheyenne women who tell tales as they knit together, their tradition becoming materials for today’s young writers.
Although these teachers are separated by thousands of miles, their methods of encouraging children to write spring from a common source: the Bread Loaf School. There, near Vermont’s Middlebury College, grade school and high school teachers give up part of their vacations each summer to spend six weeks brainstorming, studying and trading experiences as they try to design new methods of getting their pupils to write. Says Dixie Goswami, a professor who heads Bread Loaf’s program in writing: “We have nothing against ‘skill-and-drill’ writing curricula, except that they don’t work.” Instead, Bread Loaf graduates have created one inventive program to work together to cultivate student writers.
The Bread Loaf literature and writing program began in 1920 as a summer resort where English teachers studied for advanced degrees. Until the late 1970s most were teachers from schools for the upper class. Bread Loaf “was failing in its social responsibility,” says Paul Cubeta, a professor who has directed the program since 1965. “So we went looking in rural America for potential educational leaders.” Foundation funds were raised to help bear the cost for tuition and board. Over the past ten years nearly 500 rural instructors have studied there.
Many of the new ideas teachers took away from Bread Loaf seemed in danger of fading back home, remembers Cubeta. “We need to devise a way for them to go back with support for their projects and for each other.” One result was an idea called BreadNet: by setting up a network of word processors, Bread Loaf-trained teachers could instantly connect their classrooms.

| B．Asking students to record about science and social studies. |
| C．Encouraging students to exchange letters with other graders. |

| C．Design new methods to get their students involved in writing. |
| D．Reject the ‘skill-and-drill’ writing curricula and work for inventive programs. |
| A．A platform to help teachers continue their projects when they are back. |
| B．A programme to interview Bread Loaf graduates and collect ideas. |
| C．A students’ organization for those who study in the Bread Loaf School. |
| D．A website for teachers to process stories written in online classes. |
| A．To help students study English and train for advanced degrees. |
| B．To promote teachers’ teaching ability to motivate students to write. |
| C．To look for excellent educational leaders in every part of America. |
| D．To cover the cost for tuition and board of rural schools with funds. |
