What's better for learning, hands-on projects or tests?
We did a survey about two days to study in our school. 73% of the students prefer hands-on(动手的) projects while the rest think tests are better for learning. Here are four students'ideas。
Hands-on projects require time and hard work to complete. It teaches kids not to put things off. Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test. Studying also doesn’t prepare you as much for the future, since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply studying for a test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. ——Bruno
With a hands-on project you can be creative while you learn. It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flash cards, memorizing information they forget about after the test. Besides, with a hands-on project you can learn more than you expected, like problem solving, creativity, and different ways of thinking.——David
When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better.——Alice
I think kids learn better studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you will remember it. hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much. ——Matt

Dear daughters ,
Most parents tell their children, "You can be anything you want when you grow up. "I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.
Girls, here are some words of wisdom (智慧) as you make your way in the world, from your mom.
Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the way.
In high school, I wanted to be an official. I left my hometown and entered a college in Washington D. C. There, I discovered that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to the head of a national organization. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to starting a business. Now I run a successful company I started up all by myself.
Work out what you are good at and what you are interested in. Keep an open mind and change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself.
Failure is very important to your success
I won't tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has certainly made me better .
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school were embarrassing. I finally passed, and I've never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.
I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and a company owner. I hope I can help you believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. I will be very glad to watch your lives unfold before my eyes
Love,
Your mom

Recently, China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate(天然气水合物,即可燃冰), from the seabed in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea. It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water.
Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing. According to reports, China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m³ daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.
Scientists say there is about 21, 000 trillion (万亿 ) m³ of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1, 000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源 ) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges ——environmental risk and economic (经济的) cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That s v
