Do you know the story "The Boy and the Starfish"?

It goes something like this: A man is walking along a beach. He sees a boy putting starfish back into the sea. He tells the boy that's not helpful, "There are thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't save them all. You can't make a difference." As the boy puts another starfish,he says to the man, "It's going to make a large difference to this one!"Members of an after—school program in New Hampshire, liked the story so much that they named their club after class!

The "Starfish club" members do a lot for shelter（收容所）animals, but want to make a difference to other animals too. They learned that a boy in Massachusetts helped get a law（法律） passed. The law bans（禁止）the sale of shark fins（鱼鳍）in this state. The kids in the club decided to try to do the same in New Hampshire.

People cut off the fins of sharks and then put the sharks back into the sea to die. The fins are sold and made shark fin soup. Each year tens of millions of sharks are killed for their fins.The club members talked with lawmakers but finally, the law wasn't passed."My friends are working very hard," says 10—year—old Payton Paradis. "I am sad that the law wasn't passed, but I hope we can call on many kids around the world to keep trying, no matter what the problem is. And remember: Fins are on sharks, not in soup!"

According to studies, most people have a sleeping problem. A new study shows more sunlight, especially（特别）in the morning can help you sleep well.

A team of researchers（研究人员）from New York, US, did the study reported Yahoo news.

The team did a study on 109 office workers in the US. They found that some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and lunchtime. They found that they had a better sleep than others. They also fell asleep quickly at night.

Why is sunlight so important to your sleep? Researchers say it helps set your “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the close of the day, your body starts to make melatonin（褪黑素）. It makes you feel sleepy. Your body makes the most melatonin at night. During the day, sunlight tells your body to make less melatonin, which keeps you awake.

Researchers suggest（建议）we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance（平衡）the melatonin in our body.

At the beginning of 2018, a TV programme(节目) called National Treasure introducing valuable cultural relies(文物)of our country went popular. People learned stories and had more interest in the treasure. Now, we have a new way to know more about the ancient(古代的) paintings in the Palace Museum through music.

Tencent QQ music and the Palace Museum together held a songwriting competition, Ancient Painting Can Sing(古画会唱歌).

The competition was open to songwriters between 17 to 35, and the songs must be based(根据) on ten ancient paintings at the Palace Museum. The winners could sing their works with pop singers at a concert(音乐会) held at the Palace Museum in October.

Yi Yangqianxi, a member of the famous group TFBoys sang the theme(主题) song, Magnificent Landscape in Painting(《丹青千里》) , for the competition. The idea of the song came from the famous painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). It was shown in the TV programme and now it’s in the Palace Museum.

The writer, Fang Wenshan wrote the lyrics(歌词) of the song. He is famous for using cultural images in the lyrics. And the music is a modern style, including traditional Chinese musical instruments(乐器), such as guzheng and pipa.

The music video of the song came out online on July 25, 2018, which is also the beginning of the competition ,

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter (字母) E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?

In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.

The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:

A: 95-100% (excellent) B: 85-94% (good) C: 76-84% (fair)

D: 75% (barely passed) E: below 75% (failed)

We can see the E grade instead of F grade.

Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.

Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler. As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.

Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
