  抱樹可能听起来有点奇怪,但人类尝试这种自然疗法却有很多年了。
  1 To stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic, we have had to sacrifice(牺牲) many things we enjoy, including physical contact with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs.
  2 Research has shown that humans need physical touch to stay mentally and physically healthy. Without it, many become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close: A tree!
  3 Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy for years. The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku is an example. Shinrin means forest in Japanese, and yoku is the Japanese word for bath. But no soap or water is needed for shinrin yoku. All that nature bathing requires is spending time in nature: listening to its sounds, breathing in its scent and connecting to its life force.
  4 Recently, Israel has been promoting tree hugging on social media. The country s nature and parks agency is behind the public health campaign. Orit Steinfeld is marketing director for Israel s Apollonia National Park. “In this unpleasant coronavirus period,” she said, “we recommend people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love.”
  5 Inside the park, some visitors were glad to observe the official s advice and hug trees. Barbara Grant was one of them. “The most basic human need,” she said, “is for connection, for touching, for hugging.” Visitor Moshe Hazan came to the park to hug a tree. “We are not hugging too many people these days. Hugging a tree is quite a nice thing to do.”
  6 Israel s tree hugging campaign is not the first of the pandemic. Iceland s Forest Service launched a similar effort in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. Park officials cleared paths in the woods so that visitors could socially distance while they searched for that special tree.
  7 “There are plenty of trees,” said a forest worker in the video. “There is no need for everyone to hug the same tree.”

【摘 要】 技术的使用对提高学生学习质量有巨大潜力——这点是学界共识。然而,由于存在某些障碍和缺乏指导,在很多K-12学校中技术的用途非常有限。本研究旨在为K-12教育采用和融合技术提供一套基于研究的准则。研究者首先组织具有教学和技术背景的专家参加专题讨论并收集最佳实践经验,然后由专家组成的焦点小组采用亲和图方法进行归类。研究结果包括一套设计原则和一个评价量规。这个评价量规用于自我评估K-12教育
【摘 要】 我国高校现代远程教育建立了教育行政部门主导的外部质量保障体系,包括审批制度、年报年检制度、网络统考制度以及招生管理制度。实施主体是国家教育行政部门和省级教育行政部门,面向高校、公共服务体系、校外学习中心三类机构。这一体系依赖教育行政部门却没能明确划分各级教育行政部门的职责,对第三方机构和行业组织重视不够,缺乏权威、科学的标准以及标准之间的衔接。质量保障体系是教育治理体系的重要组成部分,
