7、single line though the center.If someone asked you. “What color is the sky?“ I expect that you would answer, “Blue. “ I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color.

19、eginning to think that maybe there is some-thing yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like “peer-group teaching“ and “multi-age grouping“ for educational procedur
20、es that occur naturally in the one-room schools. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else.

26、ere you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?One place to
27、 save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money.

28、 than you put in. Why?When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.
