A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Fleer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.“I’m one of the luciest people in this world,” Fleer said. “I remember I opened the door to the classroom thining no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that could have ever happened in my life. How many times do we really realie the lives we’ve touched, the manner in which we’ve touched them, and that these are memories that stay with themfor life?Despite being young when they were taught by Fleer, students easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.Even though Fleer hadn’t seen some of the f ormer students for decades, she instantly remembered the names of every single one there.A scrapboo(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Fleer had on his or her life.“I’ve had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said ‘Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give bac what’s been given to me, ’” Fleer said. “My career could have taen me nowhere that would have made me happier.

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what became the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America’s first Protestant church.The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men, Rev. Robert Hunt, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Sir Ferdinando Wainman, and Capt. William West, all played a role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years, the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.“This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America.”About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement in 1607. During that time, settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease. The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.“They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement －when Jamestown almost ended in failure,” Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives.”The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the eact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.Findings from the burials will go on display within wees at Historic Jamestowne. The site also plans to honor the men and will eep their bones in a safe place for future study.28.

A rough man came up and offered to show me around. The price he ased was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home. So I climbed into his trishaw(三轮车).As he was showing me around, he told me how he had come to the city from his village. He’d earned a degree in mathematics. His dream was to be a teacher.

I really lost my sense of where I was, and realied that I could easily get cheated or something even worse.Finally, he stopped and led me into a hut. And then he reached under his bed. Something in me froe. I waited to see what he would pull out. And finally he too out a bo.

Out in the world, you are reminded every moment that you’re not, and you can’t get to the bottom of things, either.32. What do we now about the trishaw puller?A. He used to be a teacher.B.
