21、Dedicated educator is on a mission to revive rural education in a remote mountainous community and provide the best education to its children, one school at a time.
With her ponytail and big, square glasses, Cheng Feng looks every bit the schoolteacher. Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.
During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.
Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.
“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.
Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.
“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.
“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.
Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.
Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.

22、We tend to think of body language as something that expresses our internal states to the outside world.【1】The position of our body also influences our mind.
As the following psychological research shows, how we move can drive both thoughts and feelings and this can boost performance.
【2】 Research found that when people stood or sat in powerful poses for one minute — those involving open limbs and expansive gestures — they felt more powerful. Powerful poses take up more space, so spread your body and open up the arms or legs. When you dominate the space, your mind gets the message.
【3】In a series of 5 studies, researchers found that when people firmed up their muscles they were better able to withstand pain, take an unpleasant medicine and pay attention to disturbing information.
The way people’s hands cut through the air while they talk is attractive. But it’s more than just a by-product of communication. Studies showed that hand-gestures help increase the power of a persuasive message when compared to no use of gesture. Most effective are gestures which make what you are saying more understandable.【4】
Gestures aren’t only helpful for persuading others, they also help us think. In a study of children, researchers found that children who were encouraged to gesture while learning, remembered more of what they learnt. 【5】 More generally we actually seem to think with our hands.
A.Moving our hands may help us learn.
B.But it also works the other way around.
C.Crossing your arms may help you reach creative solutions.
D.For example, when referring to the past, point behind you.
E.If you need to increase your physical power, tense your muscles.
F.Tensing up your muscles can help increase your willpower.
G.If you want to feel more powerful then adopt a powerful posture
23、It’s important to plan ahead, but you have to live with the fact that you just can’t plan for everything. Life takes unexpected twists and turns(曲折)and throws surprises your way. 【1】. Luckily, here are some advice on how to get through.
Reflect.
【2】. Reflect both on what’s hard and on what’s still good. Maybe that’s in a diary or through a conversation with a friend. It doesn’t matter how you reflect, just that you find time to pause in a crisis.
【3】.
There’s no right way to get through a difficult time. Some people get super productive. Others, not so much. Thus, it’s important to let go of the pressure of others’ expectations and ignore messages like what you should do.
Find your thing for the day.
Once you’ve stopped focusing on what you should do, take time to recharge by doing good, meaningful, even productive things. Maybe for you it’s baking a pie or organizing a closet.【4】.
Don’t try to make sense of things too soon.
It can be tempting to rush through an uncertain situation and try to make it seem certain—to leap ahead to what might be next or try to find reasons for things. 【5】. Things are just hard. So don’t try to make sense of things too soon. That leaves room for new possibilities.
A.Don’t “should” on yourself
B.Sometimes there isn’t a reason
C.Move past shame
D.Allow yourself to get in touch with how you’re feeling
E.And you feel lost about how to handle those uncertainties
F.You have to write a whole diary entry
G.Just follow your heart and do it for the day
24、The Arctic,Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are the four oceans we learned about in the geography class. But now we have a new one. On World Oceans Day, which was on June 8, 2021, the US National Geographic Society announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.
Unlike the Arctic,Atlantic ,Indian and Pacific Oceans, which are defined by the continents that bound them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the currents circling Antarctica. According to National Geographic,the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude.
“Surrounded by the swift currents, it is the only ocean to touch three other oceans and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, US marine biologist and oceanographer (海洋学家),told The Daily Mail.
“Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so amazing about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more spectacular (壮观的) and the landscapes more appealing than anywhere else they can go," Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,told National Geographic.
Due to the ecologically unique environment of the Southern Ocean, it's home to thousands of rare species. The ocean also has wider ecological effects. National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging the Southern Ocean conservation.
“We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean." Alex Tait,National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. “ So when students learn about it, they learn it's an interconnected ocean,and there are these regions called oceans that are really important."
【1】How is the Southern Ocean defined?
A.By the location and latitude.
B.By the size and depth of water.
C.By the continents that divide it.
D.By the currents around the pole.
【2】What can we learn about the Southern Ocean from Seth Sykora-Bodie?
A.The scenery is more attractive than other parts of the world.
B.There's a special ocean in the icy waters around Antarctica.
C.It is an ocean to connect three oceans and one continent.
D.It is unlike any other oceans with many unique species.
【3】Why did National Geographic revise the map?
A.To promote the sales of maps.
B.To arouse the public's curiosity.
C.To protect the Southern Ocean.
D.To update people's geographic knowledge.
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A.Antarctica Is Full of Attraction
B.The US Announced a New Ocean
C.Ocean Conservation Is On the Road
D.The Public Are Crazy about a New Ocean
