She knew judo Jiu-jitsu as judo is sometimes called means "muscle science" in Japanese The student of judo needs to learn a lot about the body its bones and muscles Judo uses a number of "falls", "holds" and "throws" Someone who does not know judo cannot defend himself against them If you know judo you can defend yourself against a person who is stronger than you (You had better not practice judo on your friends unless they can fall without hurting themselves!) Being strong is one thing, but using the body wisely is another In judo you use the other person's body to help you You "throw" him to the ground and "hold" him there so that he can't move Of course it takes time and practice, but knowing judo is useful In a violent world you ought to be able to defend yourself C©u21 The world is dangerous because A there are too many televisions B people are not able to defend themselves C people don't carry guns D there is more violence and crime every year C©u22 Which of those is true?

Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced American thought for over one hundred years Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout hi life he kept the respect for experience, individuality, and fair play that shaped the character of the nineteenth century Vermonter He viewed his own life as a continuously reconstructive process with experience and knowledge building on each other By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence As the intellectual leader of the progressive schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old unless the new was rooted in a connect idea of experience He held that experience is an interaction between what a person already knows and the situation at hand Previous knowledge interacting with the present environment influences future experience Dewey be1ieved that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences as not necessarily educative Experience is educative only when it contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can be miseducative if it distorts the growth of further experience It is the quality of experience that matters Thus, productive experience is both the means and the goal of education Furthermore, since education is a social process, truly progressive education involves the participation of the learner in directing the learning experience During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically These writings were influential both during his lifetime and after his death at the age of ninety-two He viewed his whole life as an experiment which would produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation The range and diversity of Dewey’s writings and his influence on society place him among American’s great

block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances from Earth A total eclipse can last up to minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow moves across Earth at a rate of about kilometers per second 36 This
