26、   Bridge of Hope School is a private school.It was set up in Kalangala about two years ago.Unlike government schools，which have very large classes of 90 children，many of whom do not want to learn，Bridge has small classes，so pupils get a great deal of attention．Small classes are good for teaching,but the school is always having difficulty with money since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time．

The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes.As the children progress through the school they will add another class next year.The total number of children in the primary classes is about 50.The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those that attend government schools.They want their children to have the best education available．

The school is not yet finished．The classrooms have no windows or doors.But it is very formal and insists on children wearing uniforms（制服）.Discipline is strict and the children are well-behaved.Only English can be spoken and not the local language.Although English is the national language and the language of education,government schools teach in their own language for the first three years．

School starts at 7 a.M.and the children have to be on time.Classes are formal,but children have to copy lots of things from the blackboard,because there are few textbooks,sometimes only one for the teacher to use.Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week.They also study during the holiday．

27、   Stories and movies often make bats into scary creatures that attack in the dark of night. In real life, however, most bats are harmless. A few are even helpful to humans.

Over 800 species or types of bats feast on troublesome insects that damage crops or spread disease. Another 400 or so bat species eat ripe fruit. These bats are very useful because they pollinate (授粉) flowers and disperse (分散) seeds. There are also a few species of larger bats that hunt small animals like mice, fish, and frogs. A very few even drink blood.

The blood drinkers are the three species of vampire bats. However, the vampire bat doesn’t suck blood. Instead, it makes a wound with its sharp teeth and then laps the blood up like a kitty. The animal victim usually sleeps through the entire process. While attacks on humans have occurred, the bats’ common targets are livestock and other animals. Interestingly, the vampire bat may become useful to humans. You see, a chemical in the bat’s saliva (唾液) thins blood and dissolves blood clots (血栓). Studies indicate this could be a great aid in treating people with strokes. In the future, medicine may be made from vampire bats’ saliva.

Some people think bats are birds, but they’re not. They have fur, not feathers. And their babies do not hatch from eggs; they’re born alive. Also, bats have mouths and noses; birds have beaks. Scientists put them in a special mammal group called Chiroptera.

28、   Do you often do exercise in the morning? Quite a lot of students will probably say “No”. It's really hard for them to get up in the morning, especially when it's getting cold outside, so let alone getting up earlier for exercise.

Well, to encourage students to do some exercise in the morning, a college in Central China's Henan province holds a special activity for students. It's called “Run for Breakfast”, which is held once a year. That sounds really interesting, right? Shangqiu Normal University has a long history.

Students there can get a free breakfast, including an egg, bread and a cup of soy milk, after running  1, 200 meters in the morning. Since the college started the activity in 2010, more than 5, 300 students have taken part.

“I like the activity. It is good for those who find it hard to get up in the morning. Running can build up one's body and there's a free breakfast. I woke my roommate up this morning and we were happy after the run,” said Ren Tingting.

It's really important to have good health, "she added.

Li Mengyuan, 20 years old, organizer of the activity in Shangqiu Normal University said the free breakfast for the morning exercises would last for two weeks starting from November 12th and she was glad to see more people join in.

29、Winter sports are constantly evolving and new sports activities are regularly being created. This makes sure your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience.

Snow biking

The snowbike — a cross between a bicycle and skis — guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six. Snowbikes can be used on well-cared-for slopes (斜坡) and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis. And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience.

Freeriding

There is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature. Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when freeriding. Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape. The snowshoes distribute the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow. Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience: Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go!

Snowtubing

Snowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding down a snowtubing slope in a rubber tire. Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift.
