In most classes, students sit at desks and listen to teachers in a classroom. But in a new class at Chapman Middle School (CMS) in Kansas, US, students are leaving the blackboards behind for blue skies and green grass.

They are actually taking an outdoor life class. It’s not a typical class, but teachers are trying it out.

 “We want kids to experience the outdoors,” the class teacher John Harris said.

Twenty-six students attend the semester (一学期) long class. The class includes four parts: archery (射箭), hunter safety, survival (生存) skills and fishing. Also, students will discuss protecting natural resources (资源).

Before Harris’ class this year, archery teacher Andy Fewin taught a 9-week outdoor life class. All CMS students took it.

“It gets kids involved (使参与) in something other than sitting and playing video games,” Fewin said.

Harris shares the same idea. He believes everyone needs to “enjoy life” and “get outside”.

“The outdoor life class aims to get the kids interested in coming to school, really enjoying their class time and understanding the big picture,” Harris said.

But he said everyone needs to finish their other work first. “It really teaches them to focus and pay attention in class. If they don’t, then they’ll miss out on the fun things we’re doing,” he said.

I went through some difficult times, dealing with the pressures of growing up. I found it hard to communicate with my mother. Relations between us became difficult.

One day, I ran away from home and stayed away for many hours. When I returned home at night, I saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my mother’s face. ①_____________________. We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning. It was a turning point in both of our lives and our relationship.

We decided to go to a restaurant. On our way to the table I noticed my mother had two notebooks. I asked her what they were for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than talk about (A) them. We would write down our feelings in the form of a letter. It could be as long or as short as we wanted.

Our first topic was “Why I’m so angry?” I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages. (B) I watched tears run down her face as she wrote. I never realized anyone could hide so much anger. After we finished writing, we exchanged our notebooks. As soon as I started reading my mother’s words, I began to cry and so did she. When we finished reading, we discussed our feelings. ② _________________. Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about my mother but also about other people.

My mother and I continue to use our notebooks as a way of communicating our anger and worries, and our happiness as well. We know that no matter how we feel about each other, our notebooks are a safe place to express our feelings. We have come to an agreement that at the end of each letter we write, “I love you.”

Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces(产生)tears because it needs them. One kind of tears(眼泪)is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘)gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something，your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素)in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. (1)If tears don’t help clean out these poisonous chemicals, they will do harm to(伤害)the heart.

In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. (2)Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力)of living and working now.Perhaps men have more of these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.

In fact, you can find many ways of reducing(减少)the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural(自然)and physical(生理)one.

How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce?
