But what millions of educators are facing each day is really challenging when they attempt to change a group of kids difficult to educate into intelligent, well-rounded individuals.____51____
Unfortunately, we seldom pay enough attention to these all-important individuals in daily life. ____52____That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s teaching campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to film for their recent activity.
The theme of this activity was A World Without Teachers which was to inspire more young people to become teachers.____53____They reminded us of how serious things would be if we didn’t have these selfless teachers guiding us through life. We needed someone to tell us what to do.

Rather than all getting the same amount of time to spend, ___56___? What if we could control the way we consume our time to a greater extent? Here are three unexpected ways to give ourselves more time.
Help others
This might seem strange, but people who have more time often give it away through volunteering and helping others. A study that compared the opportunities to waste time, spend time on oneself, or spend a gift of time found that giving time selflessly actually increased people’s perception of time. ___57___?
___58___
When we do the same things every day, our brains tend to take shortcuts, and our efforts don’t require as much conscious thought. This makes time seem to go more quickly. In contrast, when we do things in new or unexpected ways, our brains engage more consciously. We experience time as slowing down because we’re more present and putting more work into the thinking that goes into the task. We can apply this research by selecting when we choose to do things in new ways versus our typical way. ___59___. But if you want to extend your perception of time, take the winding road or a new route on the way home from the office.
Take control
___60___. It’s a problem when we have too much to do in too little time, especially when we’re not the ones deciding how we spend our time. We can take back a sense of having enough time by incorporating as much control as possible, and by redesigning our days. Even the simple act of pausing for 10 minutes to think about how you want to spend your time-which project to start on, which call to return, or which email to prioritize-can reassert a greater sense of time abundance.
A.Do things in new ways
B.Seek the experience of awe
C.what if we could have more

G.Nothing contributes to time poverty more than feeling out of control
An apology tells someone that we are sorry for the hurt we caused even if we didn’t do it on purpose.
____61____
Apologies are one of the tools that we use to build good friendships and relationships. When you say “ I am sorry ” and really mean it, it’s because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt the other person. Saying you’re sorry is more than just words. You are also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. ____62____ When you apologize in a caring way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again.
Does apologizing fix everything?
Sometimes a sincere “ I am sorry ” fixes everything right away. Other times, it might take a while for someone to get past (通过) feeling upset. You may need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you are sorry, he or she might still feel bad about what you said or did. ____63____
What if you have been hurt?
____64____ . However, if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. Just because someone apologizes, yet it doesn’t mean you have to be friends. ____65____ , anything more is up to you!

Greene’s team also examined how going to a live theater performance can affect students. ____68____ It found that students who saw a live performance experienced improvement in tolerance and empathy. A different group of students watched a movie version (版本) of the same play. The students who saw the live performance learned the story and related vocabulary better than those who watched the movie version. Therefore, there are differences between in-person cultural experiences and digital ones. In-person cultural experiences are very important to the success at school. ____69____
____70____ Apart from their usual field trips, the museums also offer STEM-based tours. STEM-stands for science, technology, engineering and math. These tours look at connections between art and science, art and math, and art and architecture.

●___73___
Many people who have never learned how to express their emotions have a difficult time even labeling what those emotions are. Some people might feel anger when the emotion that they are actually dealing with is pain. Others might cry and feel sad in situations in which anger is really the more appropriate (合适的) emotion. Practise labeling the emotion that you are actually having.
●Express your anger physically.
Anger can be a frightening emotion for many people to express. Anger is best expressed physically, especially if you have a lot of repressed anger to process. ___74___ Some good ways to express anger include punching pillows, hitting the ground with a baseball bat, popping balloons or going for a walk.

It’s easier to clean. This must be one of your favorite things about living in small space. The bigger the space, the longer it takes to organize and tidy up. ____77____ That’s why small space is welcomed by those who like being surrounded by order and cleanliness and don’t want to spend a ton of time and energy in keeping them that way.
____78____ It takes a lot to pay for heating, cooling and electricity, which can also cost much energy. When you compare the electricity bill of someone living in 500 square feet with that of someone living in 3,000 square feet, the difference can be great. We use less energy and produce less waste when we live in a small space. ____79____

Instead, choose an equally bookish friend. ____92____
Look for a community. Many people find it’s easier to stick to a hobby if there’s community support. ____93____ If you like singing, for example, join a local choir.

61.根据后文“Apologies are one of the tools that we use to build good friendships and relationships. When you say “ I am sorry ” and really mean it, it’s because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt the other person. Saying you’re sorry is more than just words. You are also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a lite better.(道歉是我们用来建立良好友谊和关系的工具之一。当你真心实意地说“对不起”的时候,那可能是因为你对自己的所作所为伤害了他人而感到难过。说对不起不仅仅是口头上的。也说明你尊重对方,你关心他或她的感受。道歉之后,你可能会感觉好一点。)”可知,这段讲述的是道歉的好处,它不仅是我们建立好的友谊和关系的工具之一。它也会让我们伤到的人感受到我们尊重他们的感受。因此,此处是在回答为什么道歉这个问题。由此处考查小标题可知,B选项“Why should we apologize?(我们为什么要道歉?)”符合语意。故选B项。
62.根据前文“You are also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better.(也说明你尊重对方,你关心他或她的感受。道歉之后,你可能会感觉好一点。)”可知,道歉之后你会感觉好多了,而被伤害的人,知道你对他或她的感受很在意,他们也会感到好很多。D项“The other person will probably feel better, too.(另一个人可能也会感觉好些)”符合题意,选项中的the other呼应上文的the other person。故选D项。
63.根据前文“Sometimes a sincere “ I am sorry ” fixes everything right away. Other times, it might take a while for someone to get past (通过) feeling upset. You may need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you are sorry, he or she might still feel bad about what you said or did.(有时候一句真诚的“对不起”可以立刻解决一切。其他时候,一个人可能需要一段时间才能摆脱不安。你可能需要给对方一些时间。即使你说了对不起,他或她可能仍然对你所说的或所做的感到难过。)”可知,其他时候,道歉并不能一下子让你伤害的人感觉很好,他们也需要时间去消化。但是不管怎么说,你至少会因为在解决所犯的错而感觉良好。选项G“但至少你可以对道歉或纠正错误感到高兴”符合题意,其中“fixing the mistake”对应前文的“fixing everything”,并且从语意上G选项跟前文形成转折关系。故选G项。
64.根据小标题“What if you have been hurt?(如果你被伤害了怎么办?)”以及后文“However, if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. Just because someone apologizes, yet it doesn’t mean you have to be friends.(然而,如果一个人不停地伤害你,不停地道歉,却不努力改变,你可能就不想和他交朋友了。只是因为有人道歉,但这并不意味着你们必须成为朋友。)”可知,选项应该既要回答小标题的问题,也要与后文是转折关系。由选项F“When someone apologizes to you, you may welcome it.(当某人跟你道歉时,你可能会接受。)”可知,你被伤害了,某人跟你道歉,你可能会接受。是对小标题的回答,也与下文承接自然。故选F项。
65.根据前文“However, if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. Just because someone apologizes, yet it doesn’t mean you have to be friends.(然而,如果一个人不停地伤害你,不停地道歉,却不努力改变,你可能就不想和他交朋友了。只是因为有人道歉,但这并不意味着你们必须成为朋友。)”以及后文“anything more is up to you!(其他事就看你的了!)”可知,如果一个人一直伤害你,一直道歉就是不改变,紧紧因为某人道歉了,并不意味着你要和他或她成为朋友。因此,选项C“Although it’s polite to accept an apology,(虽然接受道歉是礼貌的)”符合语意。故选C项。
