24、 Recently,my students couldn't get on well with each other,so I decided to have them play a game. I told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few tomatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their tomatoes after the people they did not like. Therefore,the number of tomatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.
The next day,all of the students brought their tomatoes to school. Some of them had just one or two tomatoes,while others had as many as five or six. I then told the students that they would have to carry their tomatoes with them wherever they went for one week.
Several days went by. Some of the students started to complain,as their tomatoes started to rot (腐烂) and smell bad. The students who carried more tomatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.
One week later,the game was over. I asked,"How did you feel about carrying your tomatoes for a week?"
The students complained once again. I simply smiled and said,"This is what it's like to carry hate in your heart. You have to carry "it" with you wherever you go. If you can't stand carrying rotten tomatoes for one week,can you imagine having hate in your heart for a whole lifetime?"
It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. Forgive others and move on with your life.

A.the size of the tomatoes B.the name of the tomatoes
C.the weight of the tomatoes D.the number of the people they hated

The Sol Reader, weighing only around 100g, is an e-book reader. But different from Kindle, it’s like a pair of sunglasses! It wants to provide people with a more comfortable reading experience by making it hands-free. The pages of the e-book are projected against a dark background on the glasses. But sorry, you cannot turn the pages with your eyes or the power of your mind. You need to use a remote controller (遥控器). So it’s not totally hands-free. | Using AR glasses and a smartphone, deaf and people with hearing loss are also able to join in everyday conversations. The G-Wonder has a microphone that receives the sound from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles (字幕) from that sound. By special software, these subtitles then appear on the users’ glasses screen. Real-time subtitles made the pair of glasses become part of the conversations as never before. |

27、 “Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term, “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experiences should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
