Because he worked hard at these subjects, Walter became good at it. However, Walter forgot that he needed to master some other subjects beside those he had been chosen. As a result, Walter fails both English and Latin in the end of the second school year. But he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graduate like planned.

Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring.

The teachers at Ward Elementary in Winston –Salem，North Carolina ，picked up on that and traded in their students’desks for exercise bikes as a part of their Read and Ride program!

The Read and Ride program began five years ago．One classroom has enough bikes for every student in any given class，and throughout the day teachers bring in their students to the room to ride them and read their books．

Even regular classrooms have one bike in the back of each room for students who just can’t sit still to use to help them burn energy in a good way．

Students love being more active!Teachers enjoy seeing students eager to read．Parents appreciate stronger，smarter children．Headmasters value this effective and cost-free program．“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated(挫败的)when they read．Thus，they have a way to release that frustration while they ride，”said Scott Ertl，who started the program．“As we can see，everyone wants to promote literacy and lose weight!But many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be the last or lose with others watching on the playground．On exercise bikes，however，students are able to exert(发挥)themselves at their own level—without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break．”

As it turns out，not only are the bikes helping the students burn calories，they’re also helping them learn better and stay focused．At the end of the school year the school analyzed testing data and found that students that spent more time reading and riding did more than twice as well on reading tests than their fellow students who spent the least time in the program．

1.Why did the teachers start the Read and Ride program?

A．To get the students out of the classrooms．

Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility(运动过度)which meant her joints were“bend”．The condition can use severe joint pain and lead to dislocations(脱臼)．

But rather than feel sorry for herself,she used her misfortune to inspire her to become Britain's strongest schoolgirl．

Just two years ago，the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn’t even take part in sports．But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records．It’s an incredible achievement．

Laresce’s trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success．“She has more flexibility in her back than most people，which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely．Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce．She has perfected the technique to lift incredibly heavy weights，”Tania said．

“I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility．I remember coming home from school with pains in my knees，joints and hips．It would stop me doing normal things at schoo1．The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn't sleep at all and I just couldn’t face going to school like that．And after each dislocation，I had to do six months of physiotherapy(理疗)to recover,”said Laresce．

However,since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18 months ago she is now effectively cured．“really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my very best，”she said．

“I’ve made lots of friends a It’s an incredible feeling when everyone's cheering me on．It’s the support of other people that makes the difference to winning．Becoming a champion was a big surprise—I just started off for fun and wasn’t expecting anything．So to win six titles over just a few months was amazing．”

Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day,but not for the reason that most people would think．He isn’t homeless．In fact he is trying to help the homeless．

Gregory began his life as a sculptor．But he often felt that his sculptures．Which just stood in rich people’s houses for years，lacked a meaningful purpose．So in 201l he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials．

The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn’t occur to him until the year 2013， when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布)．Instead of a tarp，Gregory offered them something better：a small home with a water tank,a kitchen and a trap for waste．They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city．And soon his“Homeless Homes Project”was started．

Before starting a new home，Gregory，goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins．Everything he finds is usable—refrigerator doors become house doors；washing machine doors often serve as windows，and the tops of cars become strong roofs．He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily．Each home takes two to three days to make．

So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city's most needy．While his small low- cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness，they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in．They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help．

Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture，where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops．“A lot of people who hear about what I’m doing want to get involved，”he said．“Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together．”
