    Some students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology (心理学) professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious (焦虑的) exam-takers.

    "They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that we could otherwise be using to focus (集中) on the exam." says Sian Beilock.

    The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second test.

    The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.

    Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.

    Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things not connected to the test.

    Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+, compared with a B—for those who did not.

    But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance.

    Languages are powerful, sometimes more than one can imagine. Most recently an ancient saying "山川异域,风月同天" has deeply touched the Chinese people, which means even though the landscapes(风景)are different, we share the wind and moon under the same sky.

    The saying was printed on packages(包裹)of masks sent to Wuhan, Hubei Province from Japan when the novel coronavirus broke out in China. On the packages, there were also el Province Chinese and Japanese national flags, as well as encouraging Chinese characters "加油! 中国". It's not only the friendship behind the masks, but also the special beauty of the ancient Chinese language.

    Although it is written in ancient Chinese language, the saying is from a Japanese prince. The ancient saying first appeared on the frocks(袈裟)which were sent to the monks in the Chinese Tang dynasty.

    The Chinese monk Jianzhen was touched by these Chinese characters at that time and decided to start his journey to Japan. He tried six times in 11 years before finally arriving in the country and then helped a lot with the development of Japan Jianzhen was known as the messenger(信使)of culture between China and Japan. He was remembered by the people of both countries.

    Now once again, the Chinese are deeply touched by the meaning in the ancient saying: understanding, sharing, and support. It feels like walking into the house from outdoors in the freezing winter and having a cup or hot tea. The warmth is inside.

    Tea is tasty and good for you. It is also one of the most popular drinks around the world. But what is tea? And why is it so popular?

    All tea comes from tea leaves but tea is not always the same. There are many kinds of tea. You can drink black tea, green tea, white tea or fruit tea. Each type of tea has a different taste and a different colour.

    The history of tea begins in Asia. In China, Korea and Japan, tea is still very important today. In Japan, it can take many hours to prepare and drink tea with your guests. In Malaysia, a popular drink at breakfast is teh tarik ('pulled tea'). Malaysians say it is good for you and tastes good withcanaibread.

    Tourists in Kuala Lumpur like watching the tea sellers make ‘pulled tea'. The tea sellers pour hot water on black tea. After five minutes, they add sugar and milk. Then they 'pull' the tea—they pour the tea from one cup to another many times.

In many countries, you must have a special kettle to make tea. People in different countries also like to add different things to their tea. For example, Russians use a special kettle called a samovar. They like drinking tea with lemon. Sometimes, they also drink tea with some sugar or jam.

    In Turkey, tea comes in aCaydanlik. ACaydanlikhas two kettles: one for the water and one for the tea. Drink Turkish tea with some sugar.

    Arab tea, calledkarak, has cardamom, ginger, milk and sugar. In the United Kingdom, they add some milk and sugar.

    The British usually eat biscuits with their tea. In Japan, they like…

Students in Kenya (肯尼亚) are returning for their third term. They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school and the education was not free, either.

    I taught math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School while I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms- one for each grade, Form l, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4. They are equivalent (对等) to our 9th, l0th, 11th, and 12th grade. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form 1 class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happen? Many families were very poor and couldn't afford the school fees (学费).

    Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form 1 class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their notebooks. The notebooks became the students' textbooks.

    It's not easy for Kenya students to stick to school. The students study ten different subject areas at school. Some of them spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candles for their children to study by.

    Luckily, Kenya education has been becoming better and better in the past few years.I'm sure it will have a good future.

    "Kids can make a difference." Craig Kielburger said. When Craig was 12, he  (开办)a group that has helped kids all over the world.

    How did Craig get started? In the seventh grade he learned something that made him (生气). A 6-year-old boy in Pakistan was sent to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He could not even play. He had no freedom (自由) at all.

    Craig  (比较)that with his own life. Laws in his country said that kids must go to school.  (教育)was free to all kids. But in some countries school was not free. Children from poor families went to work instead of to school.

    Craig wanted to help those who didn't have the same  (优势)as he and his friends. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free The Children.

    Craig and his friends decided that Free The Children should  (筹集)money to build schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty (贫困) live (更好).

    Today, Craig's charity has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is  (仍然)going strong. The money they have raised has done many good things. It has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in  (贫困)communities.

    Craig has had a lot of success. However, he still remembers his unpleasant start in the seventh grade.

    "We were laughed at by other kids, who said you  (不能)change things," he says. Still, Craig didn't give up. Now he wants more kids to help. "Go to free the children.com. Bring it to your teachers," he says. "As you gain more confidence, friends will join you. It just gets easier."
