It was the school's Talent Show, and it was the first time for Abby to perform with The

Racket. Abby had got used to singing with the group and she no longer felt at all 13 during

practices, but the idea of 14 on the stage （舞台）was making her head hurt. They had spent

the last month working hard to 15 the songs, so that they could put up a pretty good show,

and everyone was confident at their final practice.

Abby sat backstage and saw her bandmates hopping around and high-fiving each other. She

couldn't tell if they were just excited or trying to work out their nerves, but Abby knew how she

felt: frightened. She kept 16 walking onstage, opening her mouth to sing, but nothing would

come out.

Headmaster Gruber announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's

welcome The Racket!" As the band members headed out onstage,

Abby's legs moved and carried her over to the microphone, but

her mind seemed to be flying somewhere nearby. And before she

even knew it, the first song was halfway done. It all came 17

All of the practice was paying off. Abby knew the songs so well, she really didn't have to think

much about what she was doing. Suddenly she realized that she was __18 the moment. She just

carried on like the audience （观众）wasn't really there, and it was no different than being at

practice.

The highlight of the performance came during the song written by the band —"Let's make a

racket! " At the end, the audience jumped to their feet and sang with 19 .

As The Racket ran offstage, Headmaster Gruber smiled at them and said, " I have a feeling I

know who's going to take the prize for Audience Favorite this year. "

Abby wasn't too worried about the prize, though. She knew she had already got something

even better: the 20 to perform.

Thinking about going camping? You might want to try one of these campsites!

Le Val de Cantobre,Aveyron(France)

France's number-one campsite is in the Grands Causses Regional Park. There's a swimming

pool, a river and a pizza restaurant all on-site. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great

for walking. A day here will cost you about €45.

Three Cliffs Bay, Gower（Wales)

The Three Cliffs Bay is in a beautiful part of the country, and it won't cost you much either: a tent

（帐篷）is about €28 a day. There's a shop and some restaurants nearby. You can water-ski from

the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way.

Playa Montroig Camping Resort, Tarragonna（Spain)

This Spanish campsite is great for a family trip, with prices starting from about €20 a night.

You'll be able to enjoy the beach by day, and learn about historic Tarragonna in the evenings. The

site has restaurants and also offers lots of activities for adults and children.

Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle(Thailand)

This must be one of the most expensive campsites in the world. Instead of tents, there are"

canvas cabins"（帆布小屋）. Plus, there's a nice restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15

cabins so you'll have to book early. You can only reach the camp by river boat, but once there you

can learn to ride an elephant. One night here will cost you about €50!

Have fun and we hope it doesn't rain!

Dean felt his arms and legs were burning. With each breath, Dean wondered if he should be

done, but as he touched the wall at the end of the pool he turned for another lap (圈). "I can do one

more. This is for Kevin,” Dean told himself. He was starting his seventh lap.

Dean and the other members of his swim team were swimming to

raise money for Dean's best friend, Kevin Hawking. Earlier in the year,

Kevin fell ill. He needed expensive medical care that his family couldn't

afford. After Kevin's friends learned what was happening, they started

brainstorming ways to help. Several of Kevin's friends were on the swim team, which led to the

idea of swimming.

For a month, Dean and the other swim team members had asked for pledges （承诺）from

anyone who would help： family members, friends, and neighbours. Most people pledged a dollar

or two each lap. Dean's grandmother said she would offer $ 10 for each lap Dean swam!

Finally, as Dean completed his tenth lap, he knew he was too tired to keep going. If I try

another lap. I'll end up lying in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to come and get me,

he thought. Dean pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and sat breathing quickly for a

couple of minutes, quietly resting before he tried to stand.

Dean's father came over and said, "Wow, Dean," shaking his head in amazement, "I am so

proud of you. That's farther than anyone else has swum today, and I know it's farther than you've

ever swum before. "

Dean stood up and slowly walked with his father back to the seats where the other swimmers

sat next to Kevin. "Thank you," Kevin said.

"It's no big deal. I know you'd do the same for me," Dean said.

Art and science may seem like polar opposites. One involves the creative ideas? and the other

cold? hard numbers — or some people believe so. In fact, both require a lot of creativity. People

also use both to better understand the world around us. Now? a study finds art also can help

students remember better what they have learned in science class.

Mariale Hardiman is an education expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md.

Back when she was a school headmaster, she had noticed students seemed to remember more of

C. Dean swam faster than before

what they had been taught when their lessons had involved art. To test whether and how well art

might really improve learning, Hardiman teamed up with other researchers and six local schools.

The researchers created art-focused versions （版本）of traditional science lessons. In a

traditional science classroom, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they

might sing the information instead. Each student in the experiment had both an art-focused class

and a traditional one.

Before and after each period of the experiment, students took tests. They took a third one 10

weeks later. This one tested how well they still remembered what they learned two months earlier.

The team also looked at each student's performance in a reading test. This let them compare how

art and non-art classrooms influenced students with different learning abilities.

Students who read at or above their grade level did just as well in both types of classes. Those

who had lower reading abilities got much more of the science if it had been taught in an

art-focused class.

Hardiman says some kids actually performed best in the third test months later. And

classroom teachers reported “many students continued to sing the songs they learned in an

art-focused class after finishing the unit. "

Students who started in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an

art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back

to a traditional class. "Some continued to draw or sing to help them remember information,

Hardiman notes. "This suggests that the arts may help students use creative ways of learning on

their own. ”

Everyone benefits from the arts, Hardiman agrees. "All educators should learn how to use the

arts as an instructional tool to improve learning. "
