    The letter was to a teacher whose volunteer efforts had（43）Amy view on the world and I felt I should let her know how her（44）Apositively influenced my life．

14．Welcome to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning．

Electronic Village Program （Thursday，June 18，2015）
Nearpod ◇9：00 am to 10：00 am ◇Room 501 Nearpod is a software program that creates a rich context（语境） for students to learn vocabulary．The presenter will show how to use it．	TEO ◇2：00 pm to 3：00 pm ◇Room 502 Our students come from different backgrounds but have the same desire to learn on-line．The presenter will use examples from his first on-line class to explain how any teacher can begin teaching on-line with TEO．
Kahoot ◇10：30 am to 11：00 am ◇Room 601       Kahoot software can be used to create grammar tests which can be graded on a network．It can provide students with instant feedback（反馈），including reports about their strengths and weaknesses．	Prezi ◇3：00 pm to 4：20 pm ◇Room 602      Uses of Prezi in listening and speaking courses draw students'attention to speaking more fluently．The presenter will show how students can use Prezi to confidently present on variety of topics，including introducing family，friends，and hobbies．

10．What do the world's most successful people all have in common？
By examining the work habits of over 150greatest writers and artists and scientists，the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike：
Busy!Busy!
（16）D In a study of general managers in industry，John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60to 65hours per week-which translates into at least six 10-hour days．The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures．Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power．
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say"no"to almost everything．And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much．（17）B And focus means saying"no"to a lot of distractions （分神）．
Know What You Are!
Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths．Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence．Instead，focus on-and build on-your strengths．（18）F
Create Good Luck!
Luck is not magical-there is a science to it．Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor，and broke down what they do right．（19）G By being more outgoing，open to new ideas，following the feeling that something is true，being optimistic，lucky people create possibilities．
Does applying these principles to your life actually work？Wiseman created a"luck school"to test the ideas-and it was a success．In total，80percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased．（20）C
A．Spend enough time to improve your weakness．
B．Achievement （成就）requires focus．
C．On average，these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40percent．
D．They never stop working and they never lose a minute．
E．Busy people are more likely to be lucky．
F．This means knowing who you are，what you are and what you are good at．
G．Certain personality types （性格类型）are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance．

9．What is ecofashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment，the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry．It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms-‘ecological'and‘ethical'．Ecological fashion usually refers to textile （织物） and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes．
What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory．Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily．Cottonplanting uses pesticides；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；syntheticsmaking （人造纤维生产） brings about waste which does harm to our environment．Secondly，every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment．They all use a great deal of energy，and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings．In addition to this，there is a lot of waste produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water．Thirdly，growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects．We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times．
Then，how to solve the problems？Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials，designing for minimum waste，choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity．The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion．To a large degree，it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future．There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste．On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption．
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen．Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate．They relate directly to our personal health．In fact，choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health，though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet．
