文体 记叙文 题材 个人经历 This summer，I was part of something that I have carried with me every day since.That was an experience that changed my life.The Kentucky YMCA has a program called Y－Corps，which are service trips of around 20 students.This summer，two trips were made across Kentucky，one down south and the other trip up north.

I was on the Y－Corps Service to the North in Indianapolis，Indiana，and our trip began at the end of July.I had butterflies flying around me as my parents drove me to Louisville，where the Service to the North team would set off on a nine－day journey on a school bus.I knew some of the team members from previous Y－Conferences，but there were many that I had never met，and I had never participated in a service trip like this before.Though I was nervous，I was also ready to try something completely out of my comfort zone.Once we loaded the bus with our lightly packed suitcases and sleeping bags，we said our goodbyes to our parents and departed for an adventure that changed all of our lives.

With the Kentucky Y’s motto：“Participate，don’t anticipate(预知)”，we had no idea where we headed.Road signs were our only clue to where we would be stopping.We did service work at a Middle Way House in Indiana，a Detroit Market Garden，a Pennsylvania YMCA for an invasive species clean－up，the Upper Main Line Y in Pennsylvania to spend time with children at a summer camp，a Hurricane Sandy clean－up in Jersey Shore and the National Mall in Washington D．C..We slept on floors of local YMCAs that would take us in for a night，and some nights we didn’t have the opportunity to shower.We had late nights on the road driving from city to city，and early mornings to start the day recording and reflecting on the day before.

Though we were physically exhausted from the hard work，we still enjoyed the time to experience the culture of the areas we were in.

文体 说明文 题材 文化教育 A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School，in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania，have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground.Called the“Buddy Bench”，students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime，but may be too shy to ask.

The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple：Students who want to partake in playground games and activities，but may feel hesitant，can take a seat，which signifies(表明)to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.

The idea for the bench came about last year，when Farrell，school counselor at McIntyre Elementary，was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence.Four fourth－grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop，and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality.The PTSO approved the students’proposal，and installed(安装)a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads“Buddy Bench”on the school’s playground.

Since it was installed on Nov.16，the bench has been effective.The simple concept has resonated(引起共鸣)with the students，and has already created a better environment within the school community.

“Each day，I go to see the buddy bench working，”Farrell said.“The lessons they are learning now will benefit them throughout their entire lives.It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and coutinue to be kind every day.”

文体 说明文 题材 社会文化 Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner，friend，sibling or colleague，remember they could be helping to make you smarter.A new study shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members，bright mates and intellectually stretching careers.Inspiring family circle where people talk，make jokes and challenge each other can boost IQ levels by several points.__1__ The study challenges the commonly held notion that intelligence is stable by the age of about 18.Current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes，with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.__2__But James Flynn，professor of political studies and psychology at the University of Otago in New Zealand，argues that people can“upgrade”their own intelligence throughout their lives.He believes intellectual stimulation from others is crucial as the brain seems to be rather like a muscle.__3__ __4__So people who share a home or workplace with the simple－minded risk seeing their IQ levels drop as a result.
