20、nt remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it. She found there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It would make my heart f
21、ly with happiness. But it worried my mother, so one day when she went to meet Mrs White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes and why she never pointed out my spelling and grammatical mistakes with a red pen. Mrs White told my mother that the chi

23、 me was the gist(大意) of what she could remember. The rest I added in because I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that. Now I understand if Mrs White had used her red pen more precisely(精确地), I maybe wouldnt be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must hav

28、ed her students to correct mistakes by themselves.Earth Day is April 22. Every year, people around the world do something to help to care for the environment. They carry out all kinds of activities to better the planets health. One way to support this goal is to grow native(本地的)plants in your area.
29、This helps wildlife and native plants evolve(进化) together. For many of these animals, plant pollen (花粉) is their food. Native insects often cannot recognize(认识) non-native plants as food. This means they do not collect the pollen or spread plants seeds. Planting non-native plants creates “food deser
30、ts(荒 漠)” for insects including bees, birds, bats, butterflies and more. Doug Tallamy is a professor of entomology at the University of Delaware. Entomology is the study of insects. He has been watching the plants and insects in the community for years and found that non-native plants could harm the
31、natural food chain(食物链), which was bad for the environment. “Plant choice matters,” he said. “The plants we choose to beautify our community should depend on how much life can live there. If we do not choose the right plants, they will not beautify the environment and some of them may cause harm to
32、the environment.”Humans depend strongly on insects. Without them, we would have no flowering plants, which would harm the food web that supports important animals. Insects support plants that provide oxygen, clean water, take in CO2 and make the soil rich. Without insects, the living parts of the ea
33、rth would not exist(存在) and humans could not live on the earth, Tallamy said. In addition to providing food and home for insects and other wildlife, native plants are able to grow easily and do not need much care. That means less watering and less fertilizing(施肥). The situation is a win-win for gard

People experience a flow state when they become deeply focused on an activity that is challenging but not outside of their s
37、kill set. Getting into a flow state helps people learn and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single- minded state while doing their creative work. His researc
38、h on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations, including games like chess, sports like surfing or rock climbing, professional activities like performing surgery, or creative activities like writing or painting. Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when peopl
39、e are in this state. He used the term “flow state” to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being “in flow”.The state of flow can be brought about by any experience, whether work or play, he explained, “It is the full participation o
40、f flow, rather than happiness, that makes for excellence in life. Flow is also valuable for learning and developing skills. He noted the value of increasing challenges so they are just a little outside ones skill set. This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping them to le
41、arn new skills. Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness. This can be different for different people. While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon. The key is to find
42、an activity that the person is passionate(热情的) about and finds it enjoyable. In addition, the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill level just beyond their abilities. Finally, the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow. If the chal
43、lenge is too high, it can lead to anxiety(焦虑); if the challenge is too low, it can lead to boredom. High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement(参与) in the activity and create the desired flow state. Today it can be hard to ensure ones environment is good for flow. If the noise ke
44、eps appearing, it wont lead to a flow state. You should turn off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow.30What can we learn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyis research?APeople feel bored when they are in the state of flow.BTime seems to pass more slowly when people experience flow.CFlow state can prev
