Sign language is a way of talking by using signs.Indians used sign language when they met strangers.In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy.In the Indian sign language,signs were made with the hands.Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away.To make signals,an Indian might use a pony.2.Or he might use smoke,a mirror or fire arrows.
To signal that he had seen many animals,an Indian rode his pony in a large circle.Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide.3.
The blanket signal was visible from far away.An Indian held the comers of a blanket in his hands.Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him.4.He could also send many signals with a mirror.He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger.Or he attempted to get the attention of a person for away.But he also used it to send messages in code.5.At night,Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

Little Habits Make a Big Difference
Everything around us is changing at amazing speed, it seems---but some things will always remain the same. 1. Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead toward success. Here are some little habits that can make a big difference:
1. 2. Many studies have linked early rising with success. An early morning wake-up carries benefits including better planning and anticipation(预料)of problems, and more time to the things that make you happy.
2. Happiness comes to those who are curious. 3. As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won’t miss out on learning.
3. Believe in yourself and all that you are. 4. Confidence is the key to success—the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.
4. A day well spent gets you a good night sleep. Enough sleep makes you feel healthier and happier, and it’s more than lifting up you or removing exhaustion(疲惫). Adequate sleep is a key part of your health and inner happiness. 5.
It doesn’t take a huge effort to make a significant change in your life---using one or two tiny habits may be all you need. Get started today and you’ll soon be experiencing the rewards.
A. That’s why habits are so powerful.
B. The ground work of all happiness is good health.
C. Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise.
D. The habit of respect means treating everyone with kindness.
E. Nothing will ever make you happier than having faith in yourself.
F. When you rest better, you can live better and achieve more happiness
G. There is no stage in life when we can’t be learning something valuable.

Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science.
