Alison Matthews teaches Shreya at McCall Middle School in Winchester, Massachusetts. She incorporated (纳入) the StoryCorps interview assignment int

The Library of Congress is the keeper of our memories. So I asked kids to think abou
7、t the importance of memory in our society,” Matthews said.Shreya said that her classmates like the assignment. “Its an interview that will help us not only understand the book were reading right now, but help us later in life,” Shreya said. “One of the things I like about the project is that you get

They are terrified, said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospita
12、l in Port Macquarie, the only facility of its kind in the world.Koalas, unlike kangaroos, birds or snakes, do not flee from fires but instead climb trees to the top, where they can curd themselves into a ball for protection and wait for the danger to pass. But during high-intensity fires, such as th
13、ose that have burned in recent weeks, the animals, conservationists said, are far less likely to survive. Even if the fire itself does not reach the tree top, the animals may overheat and fall to the ground, where they can be burned to death.The suffering of the koala - a national symbol of Australi
14、a - has raised questions among conservationists and scientists about what it will take to preserve biodiversity in a country increasingly prone to intense fire, extreme heat and water shortage. While koalas have evolved to exist alongside wildfires, the animals are facing new threats not just from c
15、limate change but also from human development, which has affected local populations, impairing their ability to survive fires.We have these unique animals not found anywhere else on this planet, and were killing them, Flanagan said. This is a big wake-up call.4The description of the koalas in Para.

19、arents send their children off to school without any breakfast. After an overnight fast of eight to twelve hours, the brain needs fuel, said Joan Carter, manager for the Childrens Nutrition Research Center in Houston. The body breaks down food to produce this fuel in the form of glucose（葡萄糖）. Becaus
20、e glucose levels are associated with memory function, children can have difficulty focusing when they skip breakfast. Research shows that breakfast eaters tend to pay more attention to their teacher in class than those who rarely eat breakfast. They tend to be more creative and better performers in
21、school. They show more energy by late morning, have more strength and endurance, concentrate better, and are better at problem-solving. Children who are hungry can be slow or nervous during classroom activities or can appear disinterested when they have a difficult task to perform. Researchers have
22、also discovered that students who eat breakfast regularly tend to have better health overall. They take in more vitamins and minerals, consume less fat and cholesterol（胆固醇）, and may even have less chance of becoming overweight than breakfast-skippers. Without breakfast, its difficult for children to
23、 get the nutrients they need throughout the day. Research shows that nutrients missed at breakfast arent made up for at other meals. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and theres no excuse for not eating breakfast, Dr. Carter said. A piece of bread and a glass of milk take little time t
24、o prepare. If you are trying to lose weight, skipping breakfast is also a big mistake. You will be tired and hungry by mid-morning. Then youll want to eat a snack that isnt healthy. Breakfast should provide at least 1/4 to 1/3 of a childs daily needs for vitamins, minerals and calories. A nutritious
25、 breakfast also provides the sugar, protein and fat they need because they are continuously growing and changing. Parents should set a good example for children. You cant run out the door without eating breakfast, yet insist that your kids sit down and eat something, Dr. Carter said.8What can be inf

30、 an exciting tale of survival, movement, isolation, and conquest, most of it occurring before recorded history. Who were those first modem people in Africa? What routes did they take when they left their home continent 60,000 years ago to expand into Europe and Asia? When and how did humans reach th
31、e Americas? For decades, the only proof was found in a small number of scattered bones and artifacts (文物) that our ancestors left behind on their journeys. In the past 20 years, however, DNA technologies have allowed scientists to find a record of ancient human migrations in the DNA of living people
32、.“Every drop of human blood contains a history book written in the language of our genes,” says population geneticist Spencer Wells. The human genetic code, or genome (基因组), is 99.9 percent identical throughout the world. But while the bulk of our DNA is the same, whats left is responsible for our i
33、ndividual differences in eye color or disease risk, for example. On very rare occasions, a small change, called a mutation, can occur, which is then passed down to all of that persons descendants. Generations later, finding that same mutation in two peopled DNA indicates that they share the same anc
34、estor. By comparing mutations in many different populations, scientists can trace their ancestral connections.These ancient mutations are easiest to track in two places: in DNA that is passed from mother to child (called mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA for short), and in DNA that travels from father to
35、son (known as the Y chromosome, the part of DNA that determines a child will be a boy). By comparing the mtDNA and Y chromosomes (染色体) of people from various populations, geneticists can get a rough idea of where and when those groups separated in the great migrations around the planet.12Which one f

60、 teacher, I think it my duty to teach my kids how to use our tools of words well. Use your tool rightthis is what I always tell them. But I never expected to learn that lesson from them.I clearly remembered it was my 40th birthday. On that day, my sixth-grade students were seated in a large circle,
61、each holding a different tool in their handa hammer, a flashlight, a screwdriver, etc. The students discussed how words are like toolsthey have the ability to build or to destroy, and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can bring about great results. They free

They got it! It was one of those times when I sat back and enjoyed the magic of
63、being a teacherto have the opportunity to watch young people discover a greater truth about life about each other, and about themselves. There was no better gift than that.As we neared the end of that school day, one of my students, Laura, had an unexpected outburst of defiance(违抗) in class. Busy sc

He

69、One possible version:“This was NOT optional,” I firmly told her, sounding unpleasantly bitter. She marched from the back to the front and slammed the door as she left for the room next door. After the class was dismissed, I hurried to the meeting room. In an uncharacteristic gesture of frustration,
70、I slammed the meeting room door behind me. “Do you know how disturbing your defiance was to the whole class?” I reprimanded as I stood over her. With a bit of complacency, I paused for her to respond. But the meeting room rang with her response “Youre using your tool against me!” It thundered in my
71、ears. A girl was wounded by my tool of words. My mind raced for solutions. “Sorry, Laura. I havent used my tool right.” I softly said, gently putting my hand on her shoulder to reassure her of my sincerity. Her defiance slowly melted away and she handed me what she busied herself witha birthday card. This precious gift served as a constant reminder of learning to use my tool right.
