For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. with shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous."I'm here to tell you today why you should ... should ..." Chris trips on the "-ld," a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas whaley,is next to him , whispering support."... Vote for ... me ..." Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. when he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bath- room.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. what you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say,.I don't know,but I want to know.'"
whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
"Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," whaley says,"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."

All Jalen Bailey wants is for his mom to be happy. So, the 8-year-old boy is using a hobby that brings him much joy to make enough money to buy her a house.Right now, they live in a small apartment in Fresno, California, because it's all they can afford, but Jalen is hoping to change that with his bakery.
"I know Jalen wants me to have a bigger place, but I want the same for him ," Sharhonda Mahan,Jalen's mom , told TODAY. "He deserves a big kitchen to cook in and a backyard to run around in." Jalen, who star- ted baking at 5 ,opened Jalen's Bakery out of his kitchen on July 1 and has already raised $ 200."I love baking because it's kind of like science," Jalen said. "You get to put different baking materials into a bowl and make something new, which is what science is all about."

Jalen has always been a little entrepreneur (企业家),taking after his mom , a full-time nanny. In fact, he also has a photography business on the side.At 6 , he started an annual back-to-school drive at a local home- less shelter and made bracelets to sell at school carnivals. He also took a business class in early June to learn how to start a lemonade stand, but decided to use those same skills to instead open a bakery."Everyone in the family kept telling him how good he is at baking and suggested doing that instead of a lemonade stand," Mahan said. "He agreed with them and the very next day, he was filling out an application to get his baking license." Once he had his license, he attended his first business mixer.
While networking with local bakers, Jalen met one who offered to donate him an oven so he could bake even more cookies and banana bread.

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books.There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside.I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading.Hearing mom say,"I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.So I carried around a book,and each night,just to be like her,I would pretend to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read.Ｗe would start off with sentences,then paragraphs,and then stories.It seemed an unending journey,but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors.When mom said, "The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was.Ｍy progress in reading raised my curiosity,and I wanted to know everything.I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly,so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary,middle and high school was factual reading.I read for knowledge, and to make A's on my tests.Occasionally,I would read a novel that was assigned,but I didn't enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts,things that are concrete.I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet,now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex,I find myself needing a way to escape.By opening a novel,I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.In these worlds I can become anyone.I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this.I just read to relax.
We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding.Reading is a vital part of my life.Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning.And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature＿that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Ｍost of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943 ,a Ｍexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Ｗithin two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera:almost the whole park 2.2 million acres was caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of any- thing known to humans.
1.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone
A.Its complicated geographical features.
B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C.The mysterious history of the park.
D.The exact location of the volcano.
2.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.The shapes of volcanoes. B.The impacts of volcanoes.
C.The activities of volcanoes. D.The heights of volcanoes.
3.What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean
A.Hot-air balloon. B.Digital camera.
C.Big photograph. D.Bird's view.
