“Listen!” Mr. Lee said seriously at the beginning of his first class, “I will put a lie into each of my classes. Your job is to try and catch me in the Lie of the Day.”
That was really a clever way to fix our attention on the dry and boring subject — geography. Then in the following weeks, we didn't let off every single word of what he was saying in class and challenged（质疑）his lectures. When his class ended with nobody seeing through the lie, Mr. Lee would say, “Ah ha! Each of you has a lie in your notes. Discuss among yourselves what it might be, and I will tell you at the end of this term.”
Mr. Lee’s special style of teaching worked. All of us reviewed and discussed about our notes actively.
One Monday at the end of the term, Mr. Lee listened carefully to what we were questioning for almost ten minutes. Then he finally said, “Do you still remember the first lesson how I said that every lecture has a lie?”
Confused, we said yes.
"Well, that was a real big lie. In fact, all the lectures I’ve given before are completely true. But I am glad you worked so hard. Move on ...”
Hearing this, all eyes in the classroom went wide.
While my knowledge of geography has been forgotten over time, the lessons have stayed with me. "Experts" can be wrong and say things that sound right, so build a habit of evaluating （评估）new information and check it against things you already accept as a fact.

At the beginning of the first class on Friday, Mr López told the whole class that the governor (州长) would visit the classroom on Monday. He wanted to honour (给予表扬) the students in Mr López’s class because they had read so many books over summer vacation.
Mr López chose Mark, Nicole, and Kim-Zu to plan a programme for the governor. Nicole suggested they each give a report on a book they had read.
Mark liked Nicole’s plan but felt it would take too long. He suggested a short play. The class could vote (投票) on its favourite book and then act out one of the scenes.
Kim-Zu said there was not enough time to prepare for Mark’s programme. She thought the best idea was to choose one or two students to talk about the importance of reading. Then they could have a reception. Kim-Zu liked the idea of talking about books and eating at the same time!
“Let’s vote on the best programme,” Mark said.
But Mark, Kim-Zu, and Nicole each voted for their own idea.

She suggested that they combine (融合) all three ideas. Students would wear outfits (特别的服装) on Monday representing characters from their favourite books.

Ang Lee won the Best Director Oscar for his adventure film Life of Pi at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 24, 2013.
Life of Pi shows a young Indian named Pi, who finds the world he knows swept away when his family sells their zoo and sets sail for Canada with a few animals. Only Pi escapes from the storm and floats in a lifeboat with a giant Bengal tiger.
