66-year-old Dai once worked as a boat tracker along the
''It was something that required brute strength, but not that alone,'' Dai said at his home in Xialong village, which sits at the entrance to Wuxia Gorge, one of the famous Three Gorges in Southwest China. ''You needed a lot of skills to do what we did.''
When outboard motors became available in the 1980's, boat trackers became a thing of the past. Today, they are seen only occasionally along the river during festivals and cultural events.
However, Dai can still remember a time when being pulled by tracker along the Yangtze was the only way for people to travel from village to village in the mountainous Wushan county. Due to the area's rich mining resources, his services were vital for companies that wanted to ship their goods.
''I was 15 or 16 when I started'', said the retiree, explaining that his father also worked as a tracker. ''He died in 1964, when I was a teenager. I can't even remember us tracking together, but we did. It was so long ago.''
Dai said that boats crews worked in teams with a first, second and third master. The first master was the most essential because he sat in the boat and steered (操纵) it along the safest route.
''It was a key role. He had to guide the boat past jagged rocks and whirlpools,'' he said, adding that first masters were often the most experienced boatmen and the most familiar with the
''My tracker days were dangerous,'' Dai said. ''If the boat got caught in a whirlpool, it could have swallowed the boat and all the trackers down with it. The same thing would have happened if the halter (缰绳) broke.''
Dai's days as a tracker finally came to an end when his family invested in a motorboat in the early 1980s. He successfully applied for a license from Wushan shortly after.

Hundreds of great books are published in America every year．And every year，editors，critics and many readers try to choose a list of favorites．
A few books showed up on list after list of the best fiction from this year．One of them was Ann Patchett's“State of Wonder”．Publishers Weekly described the novel as one“readers will hate to see end．”The story centers on a drug researcher from Minnesota named Maria Singh．She travels to Brazil to investigate the death of a co-worker．Her search takes her deep into the Amazon area and danger．But．she also goes deep into her own soul for a close look at who she is．what she has lost in her life and how she wants the future to look．Ann Patchett lives in Tennessee．She told Publishers Weekly magazine that the state is leafy．She visited that area while doing research for the novel．

Going to school from
Finding ways to give kids more classroom time，through longer hours，a longer school year，or both，is getting more attention．“If you want to look at schools where the achievement gap is narrowing．they're saying they couldn't do it without the added time，”says Jennifer Davis．“Even when you get good teachers into schools，you also need more time．”
According to studies．low-income students fall back more than two months in their reading skills over summer vacations．“It's over the summer months that poor kids fall behind，”says Karl Alexander，a sociologist．“If you have parents who themselves didn't succeed at school and aren't highly educated，kids aren't going to get those skills at home．”
Schools are asked to take a full year to plan how to best use the extra time—a process involving teachers，principals，students and parents．They are given outside support to help them base their plans on the best available analyses of student needs．It's still early，but officials are already seeing stronger test scores and a narrowing achievement gap．
But some critics are worried．“We risk producing something that's very expensive and time-consuming．and that will give educators a lot of trouble，”says Frederick Hess．“Before we spend all that extra money，I'd much rather see if we can figure out how to get 50 percent more instructional time out of the current school day．”
