At a supermarket in County Durham, England, the workers are getting ready for some lessons in sign language (手语). They are excited to meet their teacher — two-year-old Diana Graham. The little girl will teach them how to communicate with deaf(聋的) customers(顾客).
Diana is a wonder child. She began to use sign language to “speak” to her deaf mother before she said her first word. So whenever the phone rings or there’s a knock at the door, her mother can be quickly told by her.
Diana understands the sign language well. Her mother even reads story books to her in sign language. Her grandmother said, “Diana started signing at about five months. She is so clever for her age.”The supermarket officials couldn’t think of a better sign language teacher for their workers. So they asked Diana to give some lessons to the workers. They hoped that her lessons would help the workers communicate better with deaf customers during their shopping.

Does eating a good breakfast improve school study? More than 1,000 students in the city of Lawrence took part in an experiment (试验) a year ago, and the answer is YES. In the experiment, students with breakfast got high scores in their tests than those without breakfast. Among those with breakfast, fewer were late for school and much fewer missed their school. “By eating breakfast, you feel active in your morning study and keep good health,” says Amy Sampson, a famous doctor. He did the experiment for a year.
Students without breakfast may lose important nourishment (营养) in eggs, fruit, bread and so on. So try to get your kids to have breakfast so that they can feel well, keep strong and do their best in the school work.

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Chores	2000 teenagers in small villages	2000 teenagers in big cities
Take out the trash	1600	1000

Dear Mary :
Thank you for your last letter. I’m happy to know that you will spend your holiday in Hawaii(夏威夷)this summer .You said you wanted to know something about Hawaii.
Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like travelling because of the scenery(景色) .People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. At weekends , my family and I often watch the sunset at the seaside. It’s really exciting.
Hawaii is a fun place to go. Long long ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a small boat . They found the place quite beautiful. But it was difficult for travelers to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now things have changed. Lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the nice view in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. In the morning , many tourists often take a walk along the water in. At night , they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing.
Now , you see Hawaii is really a good place to visit. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours
Kate
