24、   For children this year, things are a little different. They’ll still feel excited to be in a new environment and wear a special uniform. But it might also be a little scary to sit at a desk surrounded (围绕) by plastic dividers for six-year-olds.

Those plastic dividers on desks are used to protect children during the COVID-19 pandemic (疫情). However, two teachers from Florida have come up with a way to help children feel less nervous and more pleased.

First-grade teachers Patricia Dovi and Kim-Martin of St. Barnabas Episcopal School in Florida have turned students’ desks into the windshields (挡风玻璃) and windows of Jeeps. “Anything that we can do to get them excited is going to be really important in this long school year,” Dovi said.

Dovi and Martin paid for their design (设计). Changing the desks took about a week to complete. Wasn’t all that work worth it? Family and friends of these two helped turn the desks into colorful Jeeps. Martin said their goal was to create a space for students to feel comfortable while following health and safety rules.

“It’s going to be more fun to say, ‘Hey, purple Jeep, you’re getting out of your lane (车道),’” Martin joked. “Dovi and I think it’ll certainly be a smart way to cheer up the kids and protect them as well.”

25、F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while.

In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest successful novel, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary(文学) world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first mental breakdown and went to a Swiss hospital. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934.

27、I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend-Tiger. We met at the school fair (集市). Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair. Everyone in the fourth grade works at the fair. Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks, others take care of the little children who ride the horses. I got the second job and I've never forgotten it, because that's where I met Tiger.

My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse. I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about. It’s clear that I was growing older and should be more responsible.

Suddenly, a boy came to the horse. He took the little horse's reins (缰绳)! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall. I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs. It held the horse's reins and pulled the horse away from my legs. I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground. The girl sat on top of me. She was laughing at the ice cream on my face. The horse's reins were in Tiger's mouth!

Thanks to Tiger's fast action, I saved the little girl. We were both heroes. And Tiger, the fastest dog I've ever known became my new best friend.

28、   Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people can c【1】 remember the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was coming near. If you are in this situation, don’t w【2】. Many people have proved that there is enough time to study if you organize it well. Here are some i【3】 to help you.

Calm down! Fear will only make your situation much w【4】. You will be focusing on the horror, not the coming exam. Many times, fear can even stop you from doing well in the exam. If you are nervous, take a deep b【5】, and tell yourself that you can do this well.

Study the most important topics first. Exams usually cover a few main ideas, contents, or skills. When you are short of time, go o【6】 the most important topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher said again and again. These are all clues for you to study first.

Decide what subjects you don’t know enough about. Do more study on these subjects because some parts probably still r【7】 reviewing, but they will come to you more easily this time. Then you can try to focus on more challenging topics.

Studying t【8】 can be helpful. Since you don’t get any extra points for reviewing your lessons alone, classmates can be really helpful in studying. Ask for help from your parents, brothers or sisters. They may really enjoy being asked. From a study group, you not o【9】 have the advantage of studying with people who you are familiar with, you also have more c【10】 to make more friends and have more additional help through helping each other.
