爱玩游戏的你不可能不知道minecraft。minecraft是2011年发布的沙盒搭建游戏，风靡全球。最近minecraft发布了教育版。科学课上老师让我们做一个生态系统的模型，去说明在一个完整的生态系统中，如果其中一个环节被破坏，那么整个生态系统都会坍塌。例如鹰吃兔子、兔子吃草的简单生态系统中，如果兔子被人为的消灭殆尽，那么草就会疯长，而鹰就会饿死。为了表达生态系统的这个特点，老师让我们用minecraft去搭建一个虚拟的生态系统。...

This strategy worked for a short time, but Cloud was determined to find another way to get the dog’s attention. That’s when he realized that all of Puddles’ love and devotion were going to his yellow rubber chicken. He was always playing with it. One day, while Grandma and Puddles were playing fetch, she threw long, and the chicken accidentally landed in the bathtub. Cloud saw this as an opportuni...

when I first saw Cloud, I wasn’t sure what to think. With his overly large eyes, his extra long tail, and the bits of fluff popping out from his ears, he was a strange sight. in fact, I even scrolled past his picture on Facebook. My childhood cat had just passed, and I was broken-hearted, hut this strange, little creature didn’t seem like the right one to fix it. A week later, his picture popped u...

Sure enough, on a November day when the weathers turning cold, Peaches was nowhere to be found. Alter an hour of searching, my wife heard a frightened “meow” from the back yard. Camouflaged among the oranges and browns of a tree’s remaining leaves was the little pussycat, perched precariously on a high limb. I was called upon to retrieve a ladder and attempt to coax Peaches down. Anyone who’s ever...

Our rescue cat, Mouse, had been Queen of the Hill For some time when another feline entered her realm in the form of a little, orange kitty. It was a ray of sunshine [or our family, but for Mouse, it was a home Invasion. We had found the stray one rainy afternoon by our back porch. It had no tags and was in dire need of nourishment. Mouse did not share our tender feelings for the interloper, even...

Today we're going to talk about a term that is used by students all over America. It's a term used to abuse other people of following the teacher too much. And it's called the "teacher's pet". Basically if your are teacher's pet that means you follow the teacher every single time. You also agree with the teacher every single time. And you compliment teacher very much. In some school and in some pe...

One night after that, I was awakened from a sound sleep when I heard piano notes tinkling. Trembling, I sneaked down the stairs, flashlight in hand. My flashlight panned the room as I clutched the banister and shook in my slippers. There was something on the piano. It was moving. My flashlight beam fell upon it. Boo was walking on the piano keys. “Really, Boo? At two o’clock in the morning?” It be...

It was that kind of a day. I looked forward to coming home to my cat. “Boo!” I called. But, as usual, he didn’t come to me. Weren’t pets supposed to comfort a person? Was I chopped liver? Apparently, I wasn’t because if I were actually chopped liver, Boo would not be ignoring me. I found him in the kitchen. He was swishing his tail as he gobbled his food. “There you are,” I said, petting him. “Why...

Then, early one summer, Nana died. That fall, Papa moved in with my parents. With his flowers, his hobbies and his family, he seemed content. But then one weekend when I was home from college, I noticed that Papa was raking the leaves out to the curb. Mom hadn’t told him. I realized that I was going to have to be the one to break the news. I went out and explained that here, in this new town, ther...

Nothing in this world is really precious until we know that it will soon be gone. 只有当失去时才知道珍惜。 Pa pa, my grandfather, loved the fall. Every year, at the end of October, he would gather all the yard’s leaves in neat piles along the curb and begin burning them. All along the avenue, as far as one could see, leaves would be burning. I used to wonder if it were prearranged, this ritual of...

Finally, though, they climbed back over the hill and returned to their car for the drive home. For miles, while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat in silence, surrounded by her flowers. Her smile was now one of contentment, and in her eyes Was a faraway look. When they were Within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, “Stop the car! Stop right here!” The man sl...

The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling homesick that Sunday. It was Mother’s Day—and her own mother was 800 miles away in Ohio. She had called home that morning to say “Happy Mother’s Day.” Her mother had mentioned how cheery and colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. And as they talked, the young woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of the...

上期《很少有人读过的哈利波特新故事书》说到哈利波特的儿子用时空穿梭机去拯救一位老人的儿子。这位老人的儿子曾经就读于魔法学校，与哈利波特参加过同一场比赛，并互为对手。那个比赛有三部分组成，选手们需要用魔法杖来完成任务。而他就是在比赛中不幸去世的。因此哈利波特的儿子为了挽救他的生命，回到了比赛的第一个项目。这个项目的任务目标是从一条龙的身边取得金蛋。哈利波特的儿子用咒语摧毁了他的魔法杖，以此让他输掉比...

今年我去参加gifted program课程，由于开设这个课程的学校离家有点距离，所以我开始坐校车上学了。兴奋啊！加拿大的校车是提供给家庭距离学校超过1.6公里的学生上学乘坐的。校车车身上有个停牌，平时停牌贴着车身的一侧。当有学生上车下车时，车门打开，停牌也会自动展开，校车顶上的红灯闪烁，四面八方的车都必须停下，等待学生。校车上有空调，座位很软。校车司机会主动对每一个上车的学生说“good morning”，让我感到很亲切。

接着上次《最常用到又最常用错的英文单词“the”》继续说the。 什么时候应该用“the”呢？ 当我们要说的这个物体是世界上独一无二时，就要在前边加the。例如，月亮，宇宙中只有一个，所以要说the moon。 或者当在你周围这个物体是唯一的时候，也要用the。例如，你周围有好几只动物，其中只有一只老虎，就要说the tiger。 如果你要再次描述过去曾经提到过的一个人、一个物体或者一件事时，要用the。例如，你提到关于一个man的故事，第一...

英文中用的最普遍的单词就是“the”，英文中最常见的错误也是关于“the”的。the不是名词，不是代词，不是动词，是冠词。 什么时候应该用“the”呢？ 当我们要说的这个物体是世界上独一无二时，就要在前边加the。例如，月亮，宇宙中只有一个，所以要说the moon。 或者当在你周围这个物体是唯一的时候，也要用the。例如，你周围有好几只动物，其中只有一只老虎，就要说the tiger。 如果你要再次描述过去曾经提到过的一个人、一个物体或者...

悠长好玩的暑假结束了，我的六年级开始了。我因为通过了gifted test（详见今天收到了我gifted test（天才班测试）的结果），所以换了一个新学校去参加gifted program。开学的第一周没有任何作业，老师带着我们在教室里做介绍自己、让同学了解自己的各种活动，例如写一篇关于自己的文章、画一幅描述自己特点的画等等。gifted program班里除了一般的六年级课程外，还会有很多特殊的project让我们做，期待哦！ 开学第一天，有些同学舍...

《哈利波特与魔法石》中，魔法学校有一个邪恶的老师，他想帮助伏地魔杀害哈利波特。在一次杀害哈利波特的尝试中，他利用一个咒语试图让哈利波特从飞翔的扫帚上跌落下来。在那个时候，有另一个善良的老师要保护哈利波特。在他俩同时使用咒语后，哈利波特安然无恙。在这个过程中，邪恶老师的咒语被打断了，因为他的眼睛离开了哈利波特，这会使得咒语无效。但他在咒语中断后没有继续加害哈利波特，这不太符合逻辑。

《哈利波特与死亡圣器》中，哈利波特和他的两个朋友必须要进入魔法政府去偷一个horcrux。他们用咒语击倒了这个horcrux的现任主人。为了避免主人醒来后发现horcrux丢失，哈利波特的朋友建议复制一个horcrux去欺骗他。如果可以复制horcrux的话，书中的钱也就可以被复制了。但我认为这是不应该发生的。

很多巫师都喜欢探究和比较各自的血统。巫师的血统有四种。pure blood，纯正巫师血统，指父母及祖先皆为巫师。half blood，半血巫师，指巫师和普通人的混血。muggle born，普通人的家庭诞生出一个巫师。squib，出身于巫师家庭，但自己却不会魔法不是一个巫师。

魔法学校的药水老师原本是伏地魔的跟随者，后来改邪归正。药水老师和校长一起做了个策划，想帮助哈利波特杀死伏地魔。其中的一个步骤就是药水老师假装杀死校长。此时的校长拥有一根威力巨大的魔法杖。要释放出这根魔法杖的全部威力，必须得杀死它的前任主人。药水老师在“杀死”校长拥有魔法杖后，伏地魔也想杀死药水老师以释放魔法杖的全部威力。但是伏地魔是利用他的宠物蛇杀死了药水老师，所以宠物蛇应该是魔法杖的新主人。但书中...

《哈利波特与火焰杯》中，哈利波特等人被一个portkey送到伏地魔所在的村庄。伏地魔的手下用哈利波特的血、伏地魔追随者的肉、和伏地魔父亲的骨头混合在一起，复活了伏地魔。哈利波特用同一个portkey逃离了这个村庄。但事实上，一个portkey只能用一次。在这个细节上，小说有漏洞！

哈利波特系列中的很多人物都有中间名。harry porter的中间名是james，所以哈利波特名字的完整版是harry james porter。ronald weasley的中间名是bilius，罗恩是哈利波特最好的男朋友和同学。hermione granger的中间名是jean，赫敏是哈利波特最好的女性同学朋友。albus dumbledore的中间名是percival wulfric brian，阿不思校长的中间名真长啊！dolores umbridge的中间名是jane，他是哈利波特5年级抵挡黑暗魔法的老师......
