19．　　Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
　　Destruction of the world's rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!As part of a class project, Myers' students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid ＄25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
　　So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.
　　"The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us, " one of the students said, "It was a great learning experience for all of us, " said Myers.
　　Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.
　　Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

20．　　Many people like to learn English from Hollywood movies. Yes, you can see some friends who have watched thousands of Hollywood movies but they cannot speak a word of English!Right, the thing is that you have to have a learning purpose while watching them.
　　These steps may trouble you, but if you want to learn English well, you'd better follow them. Otherwise, you may waste your time and effort without gaining anything. There are three easy steps to follow.
　　● Watch these movies with the subtitles (字幕)on for the first time. Your eyes and ears should work together at this stage. Try to understand the main idea of the movie.
　　● Watch it again, still with the subtitle on, but now try your best not to use your eyes on the subtitles. Listen as much as possible and look at the subtitles only when you really do not understand. Pay less attention to details in the beginning and slowly increase the amount of listening by decreasing the number of times you stop the movie.
　　● Watch again without subtitles. It sounds hard but believe me, after enough practice at the first two steps, you will find it much easier to watch the movie in only English.
　　You may need to spend some time doing well in the first two steps. Do not go to the last step too early because it can greatly discourage you. However, if you reach it when you are ready, you may find that English is becoming a piece of cake for you.

21．　　Students decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons, on the one hand, they need money;on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want so see what working means. It is a good chance to know about the society and realize the importance of working with others.
　　But is it good to take a job while you are a university student?If we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job at an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and don't need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.
　　However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. What's worse, some students may even get bored with study.
　　Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases when well﹣prepared students take a part﹣time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.
