My family came to the United States
from Mexico when I was 5, so I was
an
English-language
learner
in
school
and
had
to
work
very
hard.
After
finishing
high
school,
it
took
me
eight
years
to
graduate
from
University,
while working
full time at night.
I
started
out
as
an
aerospace(
航
空
宇
宙
)
engineer
and
changed
into
marketing, working at Hewlett-Packard
and IBM for most of my career. Then
I
became a financial adviser, but eventually didn't
find it satisfying enough.
I had always
dreamed of teaching children with a background
like mine, and
I
was 59
years
old,
so
l
knew
it
was
now
or
never.
I
found
out about
the
EnCorps
STEM
Teachers
Program
in
California,
which
would
allow
me
to
explore the possibility
of becoming a science, technology, engineering, or
math teacher in a high-needs middle or
high school. I quickly applied and
was
accepted.
My first job was the hardest
assignment(
任务
) you can get.
I spent my first
year there teaching
math in a middle school, and the following two
years I
taught
at
the
Academy
of
Science
&
Engineering.
When
I
spotted
a
job
opening within the high
school network Soledad Enrichment Action and I
saw the students, I knew it's where I
wanted to work. I'm in my third year
there, and I love it. It's so much more
satisfying than what I used to do for
work. The best is when you see a
student really getting something for the
first time. Especially algebra, which
can be very confusing. Sometimes I was
so confused at their age that I
couldn't even ask a question, so I know that
feeling.
I feel relevant
again, like what I do is really important. I don’t
plan on ever
retiring.

In
summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty
and restless.
While people are annoyed
by it, experts suggest summer is the best season
to discharge (
排放) your
body’s toxins (毒素
) and recover your
energy.
One popular option is hot-stone
massage (
按摩
). Therapists use
smooth and
heated stones, usually river
rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or
place them on key points of the body.
The warmth of the hot stones will
improve blood circulation and also help
relax muscles, while sweating is also
bel
ieved to be good for
discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone
baths. The hot-stone bath will help the
body discharge toxins and humidity
(
湿气
) that accumulated during
the last
winter. Summer is the best
season to build a good body. Rather than use
water or steam to heat and wash the
body, people simply wear a coat or
something comfortable, and then lie on
heated stone tablets made of hot
stones, which are warmed to around
45oC. The body will gradually warm up
and
blood
circulation
will
also
be
improved.
More
sweat
will
come
out
quickly.
The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like
that released after
sports
activities.
Such
baths
bring
a
number
of
health
benefits,
such
as
anti-aging, improved blood circulation
and stress relief. The slimming effect
of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back
to ancient times, but the modern
renewal of hot-stone massage is
generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native
of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose
trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity
with many people, especially those
who
have
jobs
in
cool
air-conditioned
rooms.
The
hot-
stone
therapy
can
help cure many diseases, including back
pain.

Auld Lang Syne is a song that everyone
drunkenly sings, which marks the
start
to a brand new year. No one ever seems to know the
words (something
about
forgetting
old
acquaintances?)
or
what
they
mean
(why
would
we
want to forget people?), but, in
America,it's as much a part of New Years'
tradition as wine. But why?
The lyrics(
歌词
) to
the song come from a poem written by the great
Scottish
poet Robert Bums in 1788. Its
title is believed to be an old Scottish way of
saying “a long time ago. ’’ Phrases
like “In the days of auld lang syne”
also
appear
in
other
Scottish
fairy
tales
and
poems,
usually
as
a
way
of
saying “Once Upon a Time. ”
While
it still
causes confusion, it
is
believed
that
the
opening
lines
of
the
song
are
meant
to
be
rhetorical(
夸张的);“Should
auld
acquaintance
be
forgotten,and
never
brought
to
mind?
Should
auld
acquaintance
be
forgotten, and auld lang syne?”
therefore means we should have a drink in
honor of whatever is passing, and
remember old friends.
When the Scots
immigrated to America in
the 19th
century, they brought
the
song
with
them.
But
its
great
popularity
can
be
largely
due
to
the
Canadian bandleader Guy
Lombardo.
In 1965, he explained how he
himself came to associate the song with the
end of the year to Life magazine:
“Auld
Lang
Sy
ne
is
our
theme
song
—
and
was
long
before
anyone
ever
heard
us
on
the
radio.
In
our
particular
part
of
western
Ontario,
where
there’s
a
large
Scottish
population,
it
was
traditional
for
bands
to
end
every dance with Auld Lang Syne. We
didn't think it was known here.
If you
want to see the singer in action,check out his
final performance on the
eve of 1977,
