the human traffic signal
where
who and what
whyat 3，500 metres，la paz，in bolivia，is the highest capital in the world. many roads are in bad condition and accidents are frequent. one road in particular, which goes north from la paz, is considered the most dangerous road in the world. but thanks to one man，the death toll has fallen. timoteo apaza is a gentle46-year-old man who lives in a village near the most dangerous part of the road.timoteo has an unusual job---he is a human traffic signal.timoteo stands on the bend and directs the traffic. so why does he do it? he realised that it was his mission in life to help others. and so every morning, week in, week out, from dawn to dusk, timoteo takes up his place on the bend and directs the traffic.第4課時■learning to read in english1. pay attention when you read and read as if it really matters. pay attention pay attention and pay attention. 2. stop talking to yourself when you read. people talk to themselves in 2 ways, by:vocalizing, which is the actual moving of your lips as you read, and sub vocalizing, which is talking to yourself in your head as you silently read. 3. read in thought groups. try to read in phrases of three or four words, especially in complete clauses and prepositional phrases. 4. don't keep re-reading the same phrases. poor readers habitually read and re-read the same phrase over and over again. 5. vary your reading rate to suit the difficulty and type of writing of the text. poor readers always read at the same slow rate. an efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slows down for the hard. ■reading more about “kinds of jobs”what kinds of jobs do people do? some that i have been interested in at various times. artist i include artists in all media, including words, images, buildings, drama, dance and more. these people work with ideas and emotions as they are expressed in some kind of artifact, so let it include even the arts and crafts types who are usually sneered at by fine artists. i just don't have the vision to be much of an artist, although i have bursts of pretentiousness which make me want to be an artist of some kind. what's annoying is that i will get an idea for a novel or a movie or a tv show but then it won't crystallize, and then i get bored with it. at the moment i am not responding very well to art. something about abstraction is frustrating me, and it has a destructive effect on trying to invent imaginary worlds, events and characters. i've never been much for visual arts, unless you count graphic arts. designer
