If I Were a Teacher

Teachers are just like our parents.They spend much time on our studies.They always want us to learn as much as possible.Because of this,we always have little time to relax. If I were a teacher,I would teach the students how to learn well.If my students made mistakes in my subject,I would not worry much about it.Failure is the mother of success.I would tell them to review what they have learned and find the solutions to the problem.And I won't forget one important thing,that is,if I were a teacher,I would give them less homework.I would give them more free time to relax themselves.     

科学家发现新的生物物种——大洋深处的怪鱿

In the inky depths of the sea, scientists have found something big and weird: 'a squid' 23 feet long whose improbably long, skinny arms are bent like elbows. It isn' t the fabled giant squid, which can stretch 60 feet and weigh a ton. It is something new and, in its way, even stranger.And the fact that it has been sighted only recently, in eight locations around the world's oceans, shows how little we know about life in the deep, scientists said.Think about if we discovered a new horse in Africa - something like that. That would knock a lot of biologists on their ears, said William Sager, an oceanographer3 at Texas A& M University. He spotted one of the ghostly white creatures while cruising the Gulf of Mexico in Alvin, a small submersible4 craft used for research.
