B Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina, students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading. “Read and Ride” is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes. It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the “Read and Ride” program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments. Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. However, the program’s academic benefits are the most important. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program

C In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter ’s end. So it ’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg. Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate （提升）the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs ” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have follow ed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and del icate. Eggs are, too. “There ’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learne d the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters.“I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process —from the very beginning to the very, very end.”
