26、Four Benefits of Having Plants in the Classroom
There are hundreds of different plants you might choose for your classroom. However, you need make sure that they can all live indoors and won't give our any harmful things.
【1】 We've tried to pick out the most important ones to show you just how great they are for students and their learning!
1. Plants freshen the air. 【2】 And they also take in CO2 and give out O2, which can help improve brain productivity. You can put just a few big leafy plants in the corner. You can even increase or decrease the humidity(湿气) in your classroom! This can help children with breathing problems, and improve air quality.
2. Plants improve students' mental(精神的)health. It's no secret that plants can add a touch of freshness and liveliness to any boring place! 【3】 Studies have also shown that classrooms that contain plants can reduce students' anxiety, sickness and absence. All this comes from a little plant.
3. 【4】 Having plants to study first hand is the best way to teach students about living things and plant biology. Using living plants can help students study plant growth over time. As well as biology, plants can also be used in lessons such as mathematics and art as a great way to draw students in.
4. Plants raise environmental consciousness(意识). We think this is one of the best reasons to have plants in classrooms! When students are able to see the effort and care needed to grow plants, they develop a sense of ownership for these living beings. Developing knowledge of how important nature is can help them become connected to their environment outside of the classroom. 【5】

27、 Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: he knew everything. This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. Is there really a man in the moon? How do sailboats work? In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. How to check your car. The correct knife to bring along.
When I moved out, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my apartment. After I got married, I needed him less because I had my husband and Google. When I called our conversations changed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad.” Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” (Because I still needed her - How do I cook chicken? Do I need to call the doctor for my daughter’s fever?) I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know. Maybe I’d heard all his stories. Maybe, after knowing a man for 30 years, there’s nothing left to say.
Then, this past summer, my husband and I moved in with my parents for three weeks while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him repair the walls. I didn’t balk— it was the least I could do for free rent(房租) — but I felt anxious. It was difficult. We got wet and sandy. But as we rebuilt the walls, my dad knowing exactly what went ______. I looked at him, “How do you know how to build walls?”
“I spent a summer in college building them.” “You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad, but I never knew this. “Yep. Now let me teach you how to use this saw(锯子).” As he explained the skills, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.
A few weeks later, after my family moved back into our own house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.” “Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We ended up talking about work he was doing. Nothing life-changing. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.

28、How to Improve Math Skills
Make math part of your life. Take the opportunity to put your math skills to work in new and different situations outside your normal routine.【1】For example, if, say, a sweater that's regularly$38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price?

Make studying math a priority.【2】Doing so will help you avoid procrastinating(拖延)and make it easier to get into "math" mode(模式)instead of sitting and staring blankly at the math book for 10 minutes. After putting in your study time, reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. It will encourage you to get through your math work and help you associate it with something pleasurable.
Take a break every hour.【3】You won't be able to maintain necessary focus and you'll quickly tire yourself out. Instead, take a quick break to stand up, stretch, get a drink, or use the bathroom every hour.
【4】In math, each topic builds upon the next, so, much like reading, it's difficult to make forward progress if you haven’t mastered all of the necessary steps. If you're struggling with a particular idea or concept, don't skip it and move ahead.【5】
