真實故事：楚格尼尼 —《她只想安靜地離開世界》

🎙️《她只想安靜地離開世界》

She Only Wanted to Leave the World in Peace

---

① 一個很小的請求

她臨終前留下的最後一句話是：
「請不要解剖我，也不要展示我。」

她沒有要求紀念碑，
沒有要求被記住，
她只希望——
死後能被火化，
把骨灰撒進大海。

這個請求，聽起來一點也不過分。
但對她來說，卻幾乎不可能實現。

2026馬年 . 學些與馬有關的成語、繞口令、冷知識

第一階段：「舌頭體操」

• 今年是馬年，也是媽媽的年，找些新鮮事與姊弟倆一起做，希望這將成為他們記憶中美好的回憶。第一關來挑戰一個『馬兒繞口令』，看誰的舌頭最靈活！

• 挑戰： 三種速度：慢速（烏龜爬）、中速（馬小跑）、快速（萬馬奔騰）。

  
  

  繞口令

  《媽媽騎馬》

  媽媽騎馬，馬慢，媽媽罵馬。

  媽媽騎麻馬，麻馬慢，媽媽罵麻馬。

  馬慢，媽媽罵，馬快，媽媽不罵。

  註解:「麻馬」指的是花色的馬，這兩個字連在一起最容易出錯。

  
  

  《白馬掛白瓦》

  白馬掛白瓦，白瓦掛白馬。

  地上一塊白瓦， 瓦上站著白馬。

  馬踩瓦，瓦打馬，

  到底是馬碎了瓦， 還是瓦打痛了馬？

🔍 課前思考：引導式提問

在開始故事之前，請大家先思考這四個問題：

1. 創意思考題： 「如果為了保護瀕臨絕種的小鳥，我們必須在森林裡『釋放幾十萬隻蚊子』，你直覺覺得這是好主意嗎？為什麼？」

2. 生態連結題： 「蚊子喜歡溫暖，為什麼全球氣候暖化，會讓住在『高山上』的小鳥面臨滅絕危機？」

3. 技術與倫理題： 「如果你是科學家，你會選擇噴灑殺蟲劑，還是改變蚊子的繁殖能力？哪種對大自然更好？」

4. 角色扮演題： 「夏威夷山林地勢險惡，如果要運送幾十萬隻脆弱的蚊子安全抵達目的地，你會怎麼設計交通工具？」

1781年 VS 2026年 14 與 18 歲青少年的生活

It’s fascinating to think about because, in 1781, there wasn't really a concept of "teenagers" as we know them today. Once you hit 14 or 15, you were essentially treated like a young adult with serious responsibilities.

If you were the kids living in Greensboro in 1781, your lives would have looked very different depending on your age:

For a 14-year-old:

At 14, a boy was often considered old enough to contribute directly to the war effort, even if he wasn't officially a soldier yet.

• The "Music" of War: Many 14-year-olds served as Drummer Boys or Fifes. This wasn't just for entertainment; the drum was the "radio" of the battlefield. Because it was so loud, the drum beats told the soldiers when to march, when to fire, and when to retreat.

• Couriers and Spies: Teens this age were often used as messengers because they were fast, knew the local woods, and looked less "suspicious" to British patrols than an adult man would.

• Camp Followers: If his father was in the militia, a 14-year-old might stay with the army as a "camp follower," helping to forage for food, look after horses, or clean equipment.

For an 18-year-old:

Major General Nathanael Greene VS British Commander Lord Charles Cornwallis

Sixteen-year-old Maya stood outside the old courthouse in downtown Greensboro, the autumn wind tugging at her hoodie. The town square was a buzz of activity with coffee shops and a small farmer's market, but today, she was here for the school history project. She needed to know how this city got its name, and a local historical society tour was her only lead.

The guide, a lively older woman named Mrs. Henderson, gathered their small group. "Well now, you might think you're standing in a city named after a color or perhaps some green fields. But Greensboro, and the entire county it rests in, holds a story stained with powder smoke and incredible bravery. And it all begins with a name that was, at first, very unpopular with his own family: Nathanael Greene."

Mrs. Henderson pulled out a large, weathered map of the Carolinas from the 1780s. Maya leaned in.

"This map shows you the chessboard," she began. "In 1781, this region was a battleground. Nathanael Greene wasn't a professional soldier. He was a smart man, a merchant from Rhode Island, from a devout Quaker family who completely disowned him for joining the army. They called him the 'Fighting Quaker' in whispers.

Quakers VS Quaker Oats

Quaker Oats is a brand name, while the Quakers are a group of people with a very specific set of beliefs. It’s a bit like if a tech company named itself "The Monks"—it doesn't mean the company is run by a monastery; they just want you to think their products are simple and peaceful.

Here is the breakdown of the "Identity Theft" of the 1800s:

1. The Brand (Quaker Oats)

Back in 1877, the owners of the oat mill (Henry Seymour and William Heston) were looking for a name that stood for quality. They didn't want something flashy or aggressive. They wanted a symbol that screamed "Honest, Pure, and Trustworthy." * They chose the name "Quaker" because, at the time, everyone knew that real Quakers were famous for being incredibly fair in business and never lying.

• The "Quaker Man" on the box: He isn't a specific person from history. He’s basically a mascot wearing the "vintage" 1700s outfit that Quakers used to wear.

2. The People (The Religious Society of Friends)

2026 夏洛克的 K-12 西洋棋錦標賽

2026.3.1 

這個週末，爸爸陪弟弟參加了夏洛克的 K-12 西洋棋錦標賽。弟弟這次的轉變，著實讓人驚艷！以前下棋，他總是急於進攻，因為沒耐心分析棋局而頻頻出錯（blunder），最終落敗。

這次比賽，他學會了「慢下來」。週六的三場比賽前，他都先去跑步，讓大腦開機；下棋時也改掉了愛下快棋的性子，開始懂得沉著應對。他自己也體會到，賽前運動確實能幫助他保持頭腦清醒，他也發現自己的耐力加強了。

就連飲食他也展現了自制力。週日早餐，他遵循爸爸的建議，主動避開了高糖的彩色 cereal 和果汁，改吃高蛋白的健康飲食，只為了在賽場上有更好的發揮。

看著他的成長，我深有感觸：成長，就是從經驗中學會做出「對的選擇」。

共有94位K-8的參賽者。

弟弟贏了四場，排名第六，共八人贏了四場比賽。
