Marianne Carus，who started Cricket（蟋蟀）magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief（总主编）until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cricket，children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art，and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most important，Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun，and she wanted Cricket to be，too - "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs（虫子），such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years，Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers，including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names，such as Troubadour or Taliesin，the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then，one night，she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir（回忆录）A Day of Pleasure，about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote：There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.
Thank you for everything，Marianne.May the stories，and the laughter，never end!

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun
Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.
★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） .Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） .It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.
★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） .They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★（4） .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
| A． |
You can let students go to a movie in English. |
| B． |
Put them among other English speakers. |
| C． |
They may hate to speak English. |
| D． |
Hear or use English in situations. |
| E． |
They will speak more freely. |

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn't an astronaut，but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!
A new company （公司），Space Perspective，is planning tests with passengers.It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024.If successful，reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years' time.The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune，a capsule （太空舱）tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space，30 km away from the Earth.There，space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars.Although the price is yet to be fixed，the expensive flight，which will take six hours，is likely to cost over £100 000.Because the capsule remains within the Earth's atmosphere （大气层），no special clothing or training are needed.It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth.The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea.Passengers，spacemen，capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises，while the super rich Richard Branson，Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines.The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.
