一、美文晨读

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” syas a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown up people say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

My dream school starts at 8:30 a. m and ends at 3:30 p. m. They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn’t need to do so many homework. Therefore , we have more time with after-school activities. For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sport for one hour every day.

My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings. We can lie on the grass for a rest, sat by the lake listening music. The teachers here are kind and helpfully. They are not only our teachers but also our friends.

Sixty-year-old Hernando Guanlao has set up an informal library to encourage local people to share his joy of reading. To operate the library, he gave up his job, living entirely on his savings.

Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want. It's a policy you might assume would end very quickly—with Guanlao having no books at all.

But in fact, in the 12 years he's been running his library - he's found that his collection has grown rather than reduced.

Guanlao started his library shortly after the death of his parents. He kept thinking back to the happy days when his parents still lived him. The memories drove him to do something. Then he hit upon the idea of promoting the reading habit he picked up from his parents. He put the books - a collection of fewer than 100 - outside the door of his house to see if anyone wanted to borrow them. They did, and they brought the books back with others to add to the collection - and the library was born. Now there are 2,000 or 3,000 on the shelves and in the boxes outside his front door.

The library is not advertised, but every day, a steady stream of people find their way there. There are history books, textbooks for children, as well as some fashion magazines available.

Guanlao does not wait for people faraway to find him - he goes to them, on his "book bike", which has a large basket piled high with books.

He's also started to set his sights outside Manila. His latest plan is to help a friend who wants to start up a library in the far south of the country.

"A book should be used and reused. It has life, it has a message." Guanlao said. "As a book caretaker, you become a full man."

B

Students at New Market Elementary School had a fitter lifestyle last week. About 50 students participated in a 30-minute workout after school on Friday in the school’s gym. This was a Fit Fridays program introduced at the school by Families Plus, a nonprofit group that provides programs to enrich the lives of families and children in Frederick County.

The free program aims to encourage students from kindergarten through fifth grade to be physically active by having them participate in various age-appropriate activities designed to promote a love of exercise, according to Kim Ragan, head of the program.

The program, which started at the school on Nov. 9, 2013, has since become a hit, Ragan said.

Emily Liston, 37, said the program allows students to focus on fitness as a priority in their lives. “There are so many things to stop them from being active,” she said. “So anything to keep them moving is good, especially in the winter months.”

Jennifer Mitchell, 40, whose daughter Alexandra, 7, participated in the Fit Fridays program, said that learning the importance of being active isn’t the only thing students are learning from the new program. “It’s a great opportunity for them to get some exercise and also to learn to get along and socialize, to learn teamwork,” she said. “In school they have to do activities like this but here they want to do it.”
