8、n advanceBAttention from strangers is nothing new to me. Questions about my height is the center of almost every public interaction.

9、in many ways and has helped to make me who I am.I learned how to be kind. When I was younger, some parents in my neighborhood regarded me kind of dangerous because I was so much larger than other children my age. I had to be extra welcoming and gentle simply to play with other children. Of course, n

10、ow my coaches wish I werent quite so kind on the basketball court.I learned the quality of not being too proud about myself. At 7 feet tall, everyone expects me to be an amazing basketball player.

11、ll (successfully starred a professional basketball player). I have learned to be modest and to work even harder than my fellows to meet their (and my) expectations.I developed a sense of lightheartedness. When people playfully make fun of my height, I laugh at myself too. On my first day of high sch

12、ool, a girl dropped her books in a busy hallway. I got down to her level and gathered some of her notebooks. As we both stood up, her eyes widened as I kept rising over her. Astonished, she dropped her books again. Embarrassed, we both laughed and picked up the books a second time.All of these lesso

13、ns have defined me. Looking back, I realize that through years of such experiences, I have become a confident, expressive person. Being a 7-footer is both a blessing and a curse, but in the end, accepting who you are is the first step to happiness.4. Why does the author often draw attention from str

17、Chinese science. Built over 2, 200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6, 000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities in the province.In ancient times, the

18、region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the regions governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often over

19、flowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodw

20、ater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention of gunpowder and

21、 explosives. Li Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and

22、the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature.

26、rds of the local people.DBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less important, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But whats taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT（麻省理工）decided

27、 to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced math or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the ex

28、perience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but its not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring on

29、line videos.The real question is why we arent spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this.
