21、Improve Your Learning by Teaching
You might be looking for new ways to improve your understanding of something you are studying. Perhaps you are looking for better ways to remember important information. 【1】 It is not as a job, but as a way to improve your own learning. In today’s Education Tips, we will explore how teaching could help with your studies.
Researchers have been interested in the link between teaching and learning for quite some time. A 1982 study found that tutoring (辅导) helped both the tutors and the people who studied with them. 【2】 Like the children they helped, the tutors got a better understanding of and developed more active thoughts of the subject matter covered in the lecture program.
The good news is that there are many ways that you can improve your learning by teaching. One way might be to teach your family or friends about something that you are learning. 【3】
You could also try teaching a younger person-perhaps a cousin, brother or sister. Try to make your lessons simple and clear, and ask. them what they do not understand.
The process of teaching and asking for feedback will help you understand that you may not understand something as well as you thought you did. That is an important, necessary step in the learning process.
【4】 You could write an email describing what you have learned in great detail.
A final idea for those who like technology: 【5】 You could then send the lesson to friends or put it on YouTube or some other social media service.
A.However, you may write the lesson down.
B.One way to reach these goals is to try teaching.
C.You could record a video of yourself teaching lessons.
D.It’s also a good way to teach your classmates in your class.
E.Another idea is to imagine yourself describing a lesson to someone.
F.Tutoring means teaching one person or a very small group of students.
G.For example, you could teach your parents about English grammar or words.

23、 I used to teach 7th grade boys. I often got comments of sympathy, but I loved those young students. When I first started teaching them, I soon realized I need to bring forth some new ideas to keep their attention, so I came up with the idea of doing object lessons. And one of my favourite lessons with them was the "Chocolate Cake Course".
I took a covered cake carrier one day saying, " I want you to have some chocolate cakes this morning." Then, I handed out a cup of cocoa powder, a bowl of eggs, and container with flour, oil, sugar and all the other ingredients to each boy. They looked at me in puzzlement and disappointment. I smiled as I told them, "I know it doesn't look like a chocolate cake now, but without adding all those ingredients, you won't end up with a delicious chocolate cake."
We discussed the way the ingredients were put in a bowl and then beaten by a mixer. We talked about how the batter(糊状物) was put into pans and placed in a hot oven. Then I shared with them how the process mirrors our lives. Sometimes there were sweet times, like the sugar that went into the cake. Sometimes there were bitter times, like the cocoa when eaten alone. And sometimes there were hard times when we felt as if we were being beaten like the batter. Finally, we talked about how it was necessary for the cake batter to go into a hot oven. Sometimes we felt the heat of hot oven as if we were going through some hard circumstances. Just like I need to have a plan for that chocolate cake, we need to know exactly what ingredients to put into our lives and how long we need to stay in the oven of hard times so that we could become stronger and get the sweetness from life. Looking at their faces throughout the room, I could tell the boys had got it, especially when I showed a chocolate cake for them to share.

25、People may misunderstand what they used to be familiar with. I remember a _________ professor, invited to our school, taught stress management principles in a school hall _________ with students.
As she _________ a glass of water, each of us expected we’d be asked the _________ “glass half-empty or glass half-full” question. _________,with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How _________ is this glass of water I’m holding?”
All of us shouted out answers ranging from 8 ounces to a couple of pounds.
She then replied, “From my point if view, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter. It all _________ how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s rather light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm _________ a bit. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel _________ numb and paralyzed, ____________ me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case mentioned above, the ____________ of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”
As the whole class ____________ our heads in agreement, she continued, “Your ____________ and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a little while and ____________ happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to suffer a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel specially numb and paralyzed-____________of doing anything else ____________ you drop them.”
It’s important to remember to ____________ your stresses and worries. Whatever happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t ____________ them through the night and into the next day with you. If you still feel the weight of ____________ stress, it’s a strong sign that it’s time to put the ____________ down.

26、请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Much is unknown about how Covid-19, a new coronavirus, spreads. Current knowledge is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS, SARS, and now with Covid-19.
Most often, spread from person-to-person happens among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets (呼吸飞沫) produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens (病原体) spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It's currently unclear if a person can get Covid-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.
It's important to note that how easily a virus spreads person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (传染性) (like measles), while other viruses are less so. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility severity, and other features associated with Covid-19.
