Why do we come to school? Most of us may say we come to school to study. But to study needs a right way, or you either waste the time or the money. The following are the ways for studying. The best time for reading is morning. In the morning the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason we can get good results. In studying we must have patience（耐心）. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one well. When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the books, or we can get nothing from the books while we are reading. We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we have learned can be used well and made better. Though there are many ways for studying, yet what I have said above will be enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

Word travelled quickly in the small fishing village of Port Washington, Wisconsin. So when McCarty wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs. 2,800 people ? a third of the town ? rolled up their sleeves(衣袖)and helped her. "A lot of learning comes through play," said McCarty, 52, a special education teacher for 28 years. But her students were too often left out. She'd seen the traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. On September 16, 2008, the first day of the project, they came. Two women heard about the project on the way to work and took the day off to help. A couple in their 80s took part in the job. Children came and gave a helpful hand. Many were volunteers. They all worked very hard. Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County. All children can play shoulder to shoulder. There is special equipment(装置) in different parts. Here, you see all the kids on the same playground having fun. "People used to ask. 'Why do you want to build a playground just for children with disabilities?' " McCarty said. "They didn't get it. It's only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children."
Western films play an important role in the history of American films. They are set in the American West. Most of the heroes are from famous novels. They speak highly of people’s spirit, courage and building everything all by themselves. Early western films were mostly filmed in the studio, just like other early Hollywood films. With the development of technology, it began to be filmed at movie ranches(大牧场) from the 1930s. Often, the vast(开阔的) landscape becomes a character in the film. After the early 1950s, various(彩色的) wide screen technologies began to be used. During this time, the most typical western films focused on huge plains, soldiers or tourists, they were always the most handsome men. Until recent times, western films seem to be a little out of date. For example, the guns are always some old ones. They were frequently(经常性地) used in films set in the 1870s. In the late 1960s, things began to change. Some new guns began to show in the films.
