21、The Youth Science Discovery Experience (YSDE) teams students and teachers with practicing scientists to pursue semester-long (整个学期) projects in fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Goals
Introduce new scientific topics, especially those not typically covered in traditional courses in high schools.
Encourage lifelong learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Develop science reasoning skills and an understanding of the scientific research process.
Prepare students to face challenges of college, career, and continuing education.
Develop creativity, build self-confidence, and promote friendship among the youth.
Program Overview
The YSDE program uses a project-based learning model. Each research team consists of six tenth-grade students, one teacher, and one practicing scientist. Together the team investigates an area of current scientific concern.
The program integrates in-residence experiences with continuing education activities conducted in the students’ and teacher’s school setting. YSDE begins with a five-day residential session in the center where students will learn principles of scientific inquiry. Each research team works with its scientist to plan an approach to its project. Session in residence allows YSDE members to participate in the magnificent outdoor natural laboratory provided by the surrounding national forests. Then the teams return to their home institutions and continue working on research projects throughout the semester.
YSDE concludes with a final session in residence where teams present their research.
Program Features
Physical Environment
YSDE facilities include science laboratories, a computer center, and arts and music studios. The area provides an outstanding natural laboratory for teaching and experimentation. Being separated from the usual disturbances of cities provides a nurturing atmosphere.
Intensive (集中的), Cooperative Learning
The residential part of YSDE offers near “around-the-clock” learning opportunities in a challenging yet friendly setting. Cooperative learning encourages teamwork and cooperative skills, using science as a common language to allow students to learn from peers, staff, and visiting experts.
Professional Partnerships
YSDE’s relationship with partner organizations helps complete the program. Partner organizations are selected and invited on their interest in developing project-based learning activities for students in high school. YSDE’s partnerships with organizations like the Canaan Valley Institute and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory provide unique access to world-class facilities and human resources.

23、This is a common question asked by students at all levels: Life is long but time is short. 【1】 ?
I am of the belief that regardless of your age, you should always try to work diligently while also trying to enjoy your life as much as possible. In essence, you should not only work hard, but play hard as well.
Some of you might laugh off the idea, as it seems of little value in real life. With so many talented young people across the country, competition remains tough throughout our lives. 【2】! Personally, I have three principles: 1) 【3】 . This requires you to work out a plan, avoid distractions, and maximize efficiency. 2) Set aside some time each day, especially in between work periods, for relaxing and even daydreaming. 【4】. 3) Reward yourself for your efforts to achieve 1 and 2. Rewards can often generate the necessary motivation in an individual. For a foodie like me, some kind of tasty food is always a wise choice.
Sometimes it is not easy even for adults to juggle (尽力同时应付) work, sleep and play. 【5】. Good luck!
A.There is no time to waste
B.Work well during work time
C.“Work hard, play hard” is just a random phrase
D.What should I do when everything feels important
E.I have no idea where to start when it comes to work
F.You might need to devote yourself to finding just the right balance
G.After all, the longer you work without a break, the less focused and productive you will become
24、 Notices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village schoolmistress here, the Flower Show appears to have been an event of some importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre.
I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I knew, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls’ house decorations or little gardens and so on, included in the program.
It was a freezing, starlit night. By the time I arrived at the Village hall, there were about ten people already there. The doctor was chairman of the meeting. A few men were warming their hand over the rather smoky oil stove, which was trying, somewhat inefficiently, to warm the room. The meeting was called for seven thirty---a most inconvenient time in my private opinion as it successfully upsets the evening and puts back the time of one’s evening meal. By a quarter to eight only fifteen people had arrived.
“I think we must begin,” the doctor said, turning his gentle smile upon us. He gave a short speech about the past glories of Fairarce’s Flower Show and his hopes that it might take place again. “Perhaps someone would put forward the suggestion that the Flower Show be restarted?” he suggested. There was a heavy silence, broken only by the movement of feet from the bench at the back. All fifteen of us, I noticed, were middle-aged. John Pringle, Mrs. Pringle’s only child, must have been the youngest among us and he is a man of nearly thirty. It was John who, at last, shyly answered the doctor’s request.
“I’ll do it,” he said. “Propose we have a Flower Show then.” He sat down, pink and self-conscious, and the doctor thanked him sincerely. “Is there anybody else who agrees with this proposal?” Again that painful silence. It seemed as though we sat in a dream.
“I’ll do it,” I said, when I could stand the waiting no longer. “Good! Good!” said the doctor cheerfully. “Let’s take a vote here then.” All fifteen raised their hands doubtfully. To look at our faces an outsider might reasonably have thought we were having the choice of hanging or the electric chair.
【1】What is the purpose of the meeting?
A.To make arrangements for the next Flower Show.
B.To get people’s ideas about the next Flower Show.
C.To decide whether a Flower Show would be held again.
D.To find out whether people would help with the Flower Show.
【2】What was the reason for the author’s attendance?
A.The school children has always taken part in the Flower Show.
B.She wanted to find out what the children could do to help.
C.She wanted to know what special lessons to give the children.
D.The school children might do more work in the school garden.
【3】Why did the author declare her support for Mr. Pringle’s proposal?
A.It had become fairly clear that nobody else would.
B.She was in hurry to go home.
C.She was the only one really interested in the matter.
D.She felt sorry for the doctor.
