As a new teacher at Doull Primary School in Denver, Kyle Schwartz thought of a simple way to get to know her third graders, most of whom came from     1     families. She asked them to complete (完成) the     2     “I wish my teacher knew. . . ” and share something about themselves.

Their     3     answers gave the teacher a chance to understand her students’ difficulties. “I wish my teacher knew I have no pencils to do my homework,”     4     one child. “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my reading homework is not signed (签名) , because my mom is not     5     very often,” wrote another. Some shared hope for the     6    . “I wish my teacher knew that I want to go to college in the future. ”

“Some notes are really heartbreaking,” Schwartz tells ABC News. “I care     7     about each of my students and I don’t want them to be poor forever. ” She explains, “I hoped to know     8     I could better help them. So I     9     to let them tell me what I needed to know. That was why I made the fill-in-the-blank exercise. ”

    10     the third graders were allowed to answer anonymously (匿名) , most wanted to include (包括) names. And some were even excited to read their notes out loud,     11     one shy girl who bravely said that she was lonely. “After she told the class, ‘I don’t have friends to     12     me,’ I was worried about what they would do. ” Schwartz tells US Weekly. “However, I felt encouraged to see how much support the other kids gave     13    . They invited her to play at break and sit with them at lunch. You see,     14     have an unusual ability to express empathy (同情) . ”

“The results have been     15    ,” says Schwartz. “It speaks to the importance of giving people a voice and really listening to them.”

When we get wet, we need a towel (毛巾) to get ourselves dry. When a dog gets wet, all it needs to do is to shake its body. A study shows that a wet dog can shake off half the water on its body in less than a second. In fact, this common act of a dog works even better than a washing machine. The efficiency (效率) of this process has given engineers the idea to design better mechanical drying systems.

The study has found that animal shaking begins with the head and ends with the tail. During a shake, the animal’s head, skin and fur all move in a coordinated (协调的) way. Smaller animals shake faster than bigger ones. For example, in one second, a mouse can shake 18 times, a dog 6 times, and a bear only 4 times. Bigger animals are heavier and have greater inertia (惯性), so they only need to shake a few times to get dry.

For animals, shaking is not just about getting desiccated, but it’s often a matter of living. Being wet makes animals heavier and makes their body temperatures low, making it harder to run or get away from danger. In the wild, the ability to move quickly can decide whether an animal lives or dies. That’s why the “wet-dog shake” is so common among many animals. Even animals like rats, squirrels and some birds use similar ways to stay dry, light and safe.

A．Use a towel like humans. B．Shake its body.

C．Lie in the sun. D．Ask other animals for help.

22．How many times can a mouse shake in one second?

A．4 times. B．6 times. C．12 times. D．18 times.
