记叙文
完成了自己小时候的和马戏团
·起巡演的梦想
In 2012,John Smyth,a high-school
teacher decided it was time to retire.Together
with his wife Helen,he set off on a journey
around Australia.But when they returned,John
found he missed the classroom,so he spent
another eight years doing casual teaching.
Then he heard about a program known as
Volunteers for Isolated Students'Education
VISE),which pairs up energetic people with
educational experience,usually retired teachers,
with children whose schooling is largely done
remotely,because they live too far away from
towns and cities to attend regular schools.John
grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush,
he always dreamed of running with a circus,but
he didn't even have much chance to see the
circus in person.Therefore he was immediately
interested in the program and got a travelling
post as a teacher with the Stardust Circus.
The lesson timetable was built around the
kids'performance schedules."The eight-year-
old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was
part of the teeterboard(跷跷板)act,”he
explains."A big guy would jump on the other
side,he would swing up in the air,do a couple
of twirls(旋转)and land on his uncle's
shoulders,and his uncle was standing on the
boy's father's shoulders!”
The circus still includes some animal acts,
including lions,monkeys,horses,goats and
pigs.John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary
enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions

roaring,but one day the lion trainer,Matt,gave
him a very special privilege,inviting him in to

which helped him realize his boyhood dream in
his 75th year.

交朋友给双方带来的好处
When you think of your closest friends,
who will come to your mind?Perhaps your
college roommates or the neighbor you played
with as a child.Regardless of how you met these
people,they most likely have one key thing in
common:1 A 2023 study found that,for
those aged 21 to 30,over 80 percent in their
social circles were born within five years of
them.Moreover,nearly 63 percent of adults
have no close friends 15 years older or younger
than them.
Spending our time with such a narrow group
of people can fuel age segregation and increase
our loneliness.These limitations also keep us
from other generations'mindsets and potentially
surprising points of connection.2 Of
course,the ones that are older might offer a brief
look into the coming years.
A program that runs schools out of senior
centers has said a lot about it.3 Dawn
Carr,a sociology professor,said most older
people get much from practical help-with new
technology,for instance-their younger friends
offered.4 Having fun with someone
decades younger definitely takes off their
pressure to“act their age”.
5 Lila,aged 75,was proud that her
life experiences prepared her to give advice to
her young friend with depression,for which the
young was grateful.Also,older friends offer
more examples of what growing up can look like.
If someone's parents are the only older people
they know well,they might fail to picture other
possibilities.A greater pool of older friends can
help young people create their own blueprint.
A.You befriend those who live around.
B.They're all roughly the same age as you.
C.Others might find joy in exposure to new
ideas.
D.Brought closer,both see more than one
benefit
E.Younger friends can be a reminder of
past selves.
F.Forming these kinds of friendship is
particularly hard today
G.Indeed,intergenerational relationship is
never a one-way street.
