A
At a school in Hampden, Maine, David Bishop works as a cleaner. But he is also known as the coach(教练) of the chess teams at Reeds Brook Middle School and Weatherbee Elementary School.
Both teams have made great achievements in competitions. Some people compare Bishop to a character from a television programme, The Queen's Gambit(《女王的棋局》). It is about a girl who learned to play chess from a cleaner and she finally became a great chess player. But unlike the character in the programme, Bishop is helping a lot of young chess players—not just one player.
Sometimes, the chess players beat(击败) their teacher. At first, Bishop did not like losing to the children. He called it humiliating(丢脸的). But then he understood it was good for him to lose. That meant his students were getting stronger.
Bishop said he was a good chess player as a boy. But he did not like to let his friends know that, worrying he would be thought of as a nerd. Now that the game is more popular among young people, no one thinks less of young chess players like Eli Marquis, who is 12. Marquis joined other players on a recent day at his school's library. All the students were either playing or watching chess.
The young people think that chess can help them think ahead, consider strategies(策略) and think about the influence of their decisions. "Playing chess is like a training for the brain," Bishop said.
Bishop says he wants to see his players get better, even if that means losing to them more often. He is happy to see so many young people playing the game but he is a little disappointed that there is only one girl on his middle school team and he hopes that will change.

② In order to encourage students to take part in the Green Schools Recognition Programme and create a better environment, the school asks the sixth, seventh and eighth graders to grow some kinds of plants in their classrooms. Then they will move the plants to the campus(校园). At the same time, students are asked to collect and analyze data(分析数据) of the plants. To the school's surprise, they were very happy to do the job.
