The Mokoko tribe (部落) lived on the wrong side of the island of two faces. The two sides, separated by a great cliff (悬崖), were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.
Along the edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a skinny but strong tree grew, with which they could build two poles. There was no doubt that the tribe would choose the great chief and doctor to use the poles. But when the two of them were given their chance to make the jump, they didn't dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in.
But into that tribe were born Nam and Ariki, a pair of young hearts. One day, they decided to take up the poles. Nobody stopped them, but everyone did try to discourage them, trying to present how dangerous the jumping was, using a thousand explanations.
"And what if what they say is true?" wondered the young Naru.
"Don't worry. I am a bit scared too, but it doesn't look so difficult," replied Ariki, ever determined.
"But if it goes wrong, it will be a terrible end," continued Naru, undecided.
"Perhaps the jump will go badly. But staying forever on this side of the island surely won't work out well either."
"You're right. Let's do it tomorrow."
And on the next day, Naru and Ariki jumped to the good side of the island. When taking up the poles, while feeling their desire, the fear hardly allowed them to breathe. And while flying through the air, helpless and without support, they felt that something must have gone wrong and death awaited them. But when they landed on the other side, they thought the jump really hadn't been so bad after all.
Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you have no idea where your car is. It can be discouraging.
You don't need to install (安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That's too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly subscription fee just to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based start-up company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device (装置）that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you're looking for! It's called TrackR Bravo. It's changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.
Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you're ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, wallet and anything else you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to find where your missing item are in seconds.
Forget expensive GPS systems or tracking services. Nobody wants to pay expensive monthly subscription fees. We understand how stressful these things can be, and this is the reason why the company created TrackR. This device is your VIP when you need to take care of important things.
If you forget where you park your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “lost item” sign on the screen and the app will tell you the exact location. This device is by no means expensive. TrackR only costs $29, a small price to pay for peace of mind. The device is small enough that you can attach it to your pets. Put it on their collar, and you will never lose track of them! Attach it to your key or wallet, and never waste a minute rummaging the whole house for it.
Since you've been informed about this brilliant invention, now attach it to everything that's important to you.
Two heads are better than one. It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.
There can be a number of reasons why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.
Cooperative (合作的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in completing the shared goal.
Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club's instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person's role.
Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor's job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.
With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.
A good training partner can be a great asset (有用的人) to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one, it could lead you down the road to frustration. Be selective when choosing a training partner.
Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain (消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.
Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something is impossible or that they can't or you can't do something, you may end up believing them.
Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. In every partnership, one person will tend to be the leader. The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.
Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them, there's not much point in having them around to help.
If you are a beginner, try to find someone who knows what you are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.
In the end, it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.
A. Training level.
B. Similar strength levels.
C. Here are a few things to look out for.
D. Find someone with a similar training goal with you.
E. Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.
F. While there are a number of advantages of having a training partner, there are also advantages of working alone.
G. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time, will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner.
Angela Fullmer already had enough to handle. She'd recently completed her bachelor's degree and she had given birth to her 1 baby Atreyu just three months before.
So at 1:30 a.m. March 15, when her dog Capone was barking 2 in their home, she yelled, "Shut up! You're going to 3 the baby."
He wouldn't 4.
She called for Capone to come to her.
He wouldn't come.
The dog 5 comes, she said, ever since she and husband, Isaac, 6 the wandering animal from a busy highway 18 months ago.
Capone just looked at her and ran back to the 7.
Fullmer, 32 — who has a 8 about dogs — thought something wasn't 9. Tired as she was, she went to 10 what was going on in the kitchen.
The plug for the microwave was on fire. The fire seemed 11 at first, but she knew she needed to get the 12 out fast. She scooped up her 13 baby Atreyu, and then grabbed her 20-month-old toddler Mondecai. She yelled for her oldest, Landon, 12, to help 14 the other children.
By the time most of the children were heading out.15 shot up to the kitchen ceiling and the smoke alarm 16 went off. She called 911 and did a roll call. Her nine children were all 17 outside the house.
Capone? He had barked and barked for two minutes before the fire alarm even 18. He had saved their lives.
"He 19 his family," Fullmer said. "I'm glad we found him on the 20."
