问37：请问这个图表中的meeting到底是什么课？

一道英语题，课程表中有meeting，不知道是什么课，请专业人士给与解答。属于class

吗？属于和语文、数学一样给学生上的课吗？附上在网上搜到的本题截图和原题。

答：安排在07:50-08:00的meeting 应该是晨会或者早读类的某些集体活动，不是什么课程

class，具体每天的活动内容学校老师会提前告知学生。

追问：

我也认同你的看法，可是搜到的答案都认为是课。

我再等等，征求一下其他意见。

我认为这种题不够严谨。

追答：

既然在timeable中出现，算作一种宽泛的class, 而不是严格意义上的与subject 相关的

course 或lesson[微笑]。

Look online to see if there is a club near you that runs public-speaking courses. If not, ask your teachers if they can get the school involved.It can encourage more pupils to speak up in class or meeting.

Jacob, a boy was aged just eight when started public speaking. “It might feel really hard, but deep down inside everyone’s got something they can talk about,” he says. “Find something that you’re interested in and don’t worry about making mistakes.You can do it as long as you have a try.Everyone can be good at public speaking.”

上网看看附近是否有开设公开演讲课程的俱乐部。如果没有，问问你的老师，他们是否可以让学校参与进来。它可以鼓励更多的学生在课堂上或会议上发言。

雅各布，一个8岁就开始公开演讲的男孩。他说:“这可能感觉很困难，但在内心深处，每个人都有可以谈论的东西。”“找到你感兴趣的事情，不要担心犯错误。只要你试一试，你就能做到。每个人都可以擅长公开演讲。”

One day, Tom's teacher, Miss Mak held a class meeting. "There will be a flag day next Saturday. Does anyone want to join this meaningful event?" asked Miss Mak. Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat.

"Tom, you haven't sold flags before," said Miss Mak suddenly. "Would you like to have a try?" Tom was hesitant, but he finally nodded.

On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. "Excuse me, Could you please buy...?" said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put five-dollar coin into Angela's collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag under his shoulder. "I did it!" said Angela happily. "It's your turn now."

Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, "Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?" Tom's face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donationand Tom gave her a flag. "You made it!" laughed Angela.

In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely. At last, their collection bags were so heavy that they had to hold them with both arms. They felt very proud.

一天，汤姆的老师麦小姐开了一次班会。“下周六将有国旗日。麦小姐问:“有没有人想参加这个有意义的活动?”汤姆很有兴趣为无家可归的儿童募捐，但他没有勇气和陌生人说话，所以他在座位上保持安静。

“汤姆，你以前没卖过旗子，”麦小姐突然说。“你想试试吗?”汤姆有些犹豫，但最后还是点了点头。

在国旗日，汤姆和安吉拉在一条繁忙的街道上卖国旗。安琪拉轻声对她遇到的第一个人说:“请问，你能不能买……?”男人笑了笑，把五美元硬币放进了安吉拉的收集袋里。然后她说了声谢谢，并把一面旗子放在他的肩膀下。“我做到了!”安吉拉高兴地说。“现在轮到你了。”

汤姆感到紧张，开始发抖。不久，他看见一位年轻的女士向他走来。那位女士面带微笑，手里拿着几枚硬币。她问:“你是在为流浪儿童基金卖旗子吗?”汤姆脸红了，答应了。然后那位女士捐了钱，汤姆给了她一面旗。“你成功了!”安吉拉笑着说。

在接下来的几个小时里，安吉拉和汤姆又快又勇敢地卖国旗。最后，他们的收集袋是如此沉重，他们不得不用双臂抓住他们。他们感到非常自豪。

#新春庙会# #天南地北大拜年# #从今天起记录我的#

My 19-year-old daughter decided before she graduated from high school that she wanted to be a nurse. She worked hard and got accepted to a one-year long, accelerated Nursing School with a reputation for being hard, but very successful. The school had a policy to the effect of, “if you fail any test throughout the year, you were out”. As the youngest in her class at 19 years old, she tried to balance a social life with her studies, and about halfway through the year, as you might expect she failed a test and was consequently kicked out of the school. This occurred on a Friday and she was distraught the entire weekend. She and I sat down and talked about it and during our conversation she told me that the WHOLE class had actually failed the same test, but the grades were “curved” so that everyone in the class passed except her.

I happened to be in a job that handled similar complaints, so I knew first-hand how to approach situations when someone was treated unfairly. The following Monday I met with the administrator, armed with open records requests, rule books, etc. I pointed out their rule book made no allowances for “curving test scores” and if the whole class failed the test, then everyone in the class should be kicked out, not just my daughter. Also, during the meeting it became apparent they had targeted her because of her age, which further supported the unfairness of the situation. The meeting ended with my daughter being allowed to retake a “fair” test, which she easily passed and was consequently reinstated to the class.

I told my daughter, in front of everyone at the meeting, that I was disappointed in her for allowing herself to be put in this situation, and that I did not condone her not being prepared for a test. However, I also did not condone anyone in authority deliberately setting out to make someone fail, at anything. I further emphasized to the administrator that my daughter’s failure was also a direct reflection on her as a teacher.

absent in 和 absent from及其他

absent是形容词，用起来相对简单，但需要掌握的是：absent in、absent from及absent-minded的用法。

absent最常见的意思是“缺席，不在”。比如：He was absent from the meeting。他没来开会。Why were you absent from school yesterday？昨天为什么没来上学？

这里的要点是，当指某人不在某地或缺席某种场合时，后面多跟from+地点名词或者跟class、school等名词。

另外，absent后边还可以跟介词in接地点名词。当主语是无生命的名词时，absent in意思是“不在，没有”，这时候一般可用absent from来替换。当主语是有生命的名词时，absent in表示“不在这里，在另一个地方”。比如：

When they came to see us，we were absent from Beijing.他们来看我们时，我们不在北京。 She is absent in Beijing.她不在这里，现在在北京。

absent的第二个意思是“心不在焉”。比如：He had an absent look on his face.他脸上的表情是一副心不在焉的样子。I asked him a question，but he looked at me in an absent way and didn't answer.我问了他一个问题，但是他心不在焉地看着我，没有回答。

absent的第三个意思是“不存在，没有”。比如：Snow is absent in some countries.有些国家不下雪。In the manx type of cat, the tail is absent.马恩岛猫是没有尾巴的。

形容词absent-minded意思是“心不在焉的；健忘的；出神的”。比如：You are absent minded.你心不在焉。He has an absent-minded manner.他一副心不在焉的样子。

The absent-minded man put salt in his coffee and sugar on his egg.一个心不在焉的男人在咖啡里放了盐，在鸡蛋上放了糖。

俄媒：俄罗斯驻美大使敦促美国“撤回海外核武器并销毁核武设施”

俄罗斯卫星通讯社华盛顿10月29日报道：俄罗斯驻美国大使安纳托利·安东诺夫呼吁美国当局把驻部署在国外的所有核武器带回本国，并销毁储存和使用核武的基础设施。

报道说，本周初有报道称，美国已加速在欧洲北约基地部署一枚现代化的B61-12核弹，希望在底而不是前交付。五角大楼发言人周四对卫星通讯社说，他“知道这些报道，但目前没有什么要宣布的”(A Pentagon spokesperson told Sputnik on Thursday that he was aware of the reports but had nothing to announce at this time)。

报道说，“在这方面，我再次敦促华盛顿，把部署在国外的所有核武器撤回本国领土，并消除海外储存和保存核武器的基础设施。另外，作为北约“联合核任务”的一部分，停止在无核国家与军事人员参与测试此类弹药的使用，这违反了《不扩散核武器条约》的基本原则”，安东诺夫说。

他强调，俄罗斯的同类武器库不会对美国构成威胁，尽管“猜测”俄罗斯的武器库比美国的武器库大很多倍(He stressed that the Russian arsenal of weapons of a similar class does not pose a threat to the United States, despite "speculation" that it is many times larger than the American one.)。

这位大使说：“我们所有的战术核武器(TNW [tactical nuclear weapons] )都是在俄罗斯的集中储存设施中，不会对美国构成威胁”。

报道说，升级版的B61-12核弹原定于春季交付，但根据一份外交电报，美国官员在10月布鲁塞尔的一次非公开会议上告诉北约盟国，现在预计会在12月部署(The delivery of the upgraded version of the B61-12 nuclear bomb was originally scheduled for the spring of , but, according to a diplomatic cable, US officials told NATO allies during a closed meeting in Brussels in October that the deployment is now expected by December)。

报道的原标题是《Russian Ambassador Urges US to Bring Back Nuclear Weapons Stationed Abroad》(俄罗斯大使敦促美国撤回海外核武器

)。

How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.

It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.

You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.

当你必须在全班同学面前演讲时，你感觉如何?那你去参加生日聚会呢?你会变得很害羞吗?

害羞意味着当你和别人在一起时感到紧张或害怕。专家发现，超过80%的中学生害怕成为关注的焦点。有些孩子天生害羞。一些人后来变得害羞，因为他们的生活经历。

当你去一个新地方或认识新朋友时，如果你需要一段时间重新找回自我，这是可以的。事实上，每个人都有害羞的时候。这只是多少钱的问题。

大多数人害羞的时候都会脸红，说话断断续续。但有些人因为太紧张而不敢点餐和付账，所以变得很害羞，不愿去餐馆吃饭。有些人害怕认识新朋友，所以他们很少出门。这种害羞对一个人来说是不好的。

如果害羞不会阻止你做你想做的事情，害羞不是一个很大的问题。一些专家说，害羞的人更安静、更聪明，因为他们想得多、说得少。害羞的人也很擅长与他人合作，因为他们更多地为他人着想。历史上一些伟大的人物也很害羞。

你看，害羞并不全是坏事。但是记住不要让好机会白白溜走!如果你必须在生日聚会上唱歌或在别人面前练习英语口语，那就唱吧!没什么好害怕的。
