Most of us use alarm clocks or mobile phones to wake up at the right time for school or work． We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train． However， there is also a right time to eat， sleep， exercise， and take medicine． We can't look at a clock for the right time for these activities． We must listen to the clock inside our bodies， the biological clock．

Why Live Near the River？
Imagine pioneers traveling west in the 1800s． In those days， it was hard to find running water and shops where to buy things． As time went by， most pioneers had to make their homes near a river so that they could get water easily．
How did rivers help people live in the past？
Back in the pioneer days， people grew their own food，caught their own fish，and collected their own water．（1） People also used rivers as roads，traveling on boats．Traders shipped goods （货物）to people from other areas．
（2）
When building many factories right next to rivers for the water's power to make machines work， some people choose to live near a river for working． They use the river to ship large goods， and some of them work at these factories where power factories provide electricity to homes and businesses． （3）
Who wouldn't want to live near a river？
Some people are nervous about living near rivers because rivers can cause floods （洪水）． Every once in a while， floodwaters rise higher than a house， ruining （泡坏） many things in the house．（4） Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops （庄稼） we eat． Water and crops in polluted areas can make people very sick．
How do people decide where to live？
（5） Rivers can provide jobs and fun activities in a beautiful place． However， those living by rivers should be willing to accept possible problems as well．

When learning is mentioned， regular school can be the first place which you can think of． However ， the Internet is changing the way students learn． Many learning apps provide rich courses for the learners to meet their levels of knowledge and interests．TED is one of them．With the Internet， learners are allowed to learn at home or anywhere else．
◆Which do you prefer： Regular School or Home School？
| Regular school helps you learn more． And you have more chances to take part in clubs and try out different kinds of courses． In class， you can discuss problems by working in groups． |
I prefer having classes online because you can spend more time learning when you're the only student in "your class"． Having cases at home may make you very independent． |
| I prefer regular school． You can have so many more friends and work with more people in groups． When I was having classes at home， I hated it． |
If you're a slow learner， you can fall behind in regular school． But if you have classes at home， you can learn well． I' m having classes at home， and I make much more progress now than when I went to regular school． |
| TED This free app is a great tool for those who are interested in public speaking It provides more than 700 talks from the world's most famous thinkers， leaders and artists． It could be the first choice for many learners to develop their speaking sill． |

With the coming of 5G， the cloud classroom might not be far away． However， whatever advantages online learning has， it just offers a way of learning． It doesn't take the place of any of the ways． There must be many more ways of learning in the future． Nobody knows what will happen．

Why are we afraid of change？（2） After all， who knows what new dangers might appear？ However， change is also the only way of development． Nobody can stop it in life． Luckily， our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown．（3） To be more imaginative and creative， you should look for and find environments you have no experience with．

（4）
My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent． Not for her good，but for mine．I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me．Because of this，I grow up to be completely independent．
（5）
Growing up， I've made my fair share of mistakes．Instead of saying "I told you so"，my mom always let me work things out myself．She was also there to help me pick up the pieces，if I ever needed help．
