And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats

18、. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)us. There was no shade and our legs were aching.

20、sed(翻转)the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but per

26、photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was amon

27、g the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷)caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point.

28、ures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos.

33、rch to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?Th

34、e students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this po

36、nd more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesnt happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school.

37、is experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points.
