show affection (喜爱) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands,
hug or kiss on the street, in the park, in restaurants, and even on trains and buses! However, in some other
countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don"t allow this. For example,
in China and Korea, custom doesn"t allow people to do so in public. So, when Chinese and Korean people
visit the United States, they often feel very surprised and shocked when they see Americans hug and kiss on
the street. In some countries friends show physical affection to each other.
In some South American countries, female (女性) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the
street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In
most countries, men don"t kiss or hug when they greet another. They usually shake hands or pat each other
on the back.

B. Happy and interested.
C. Relaxed and enjoyable.

secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.
You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give
out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim
nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in
deep water for a long time. However, you can"t dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive
in deep water.
The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It"s cold, and it"s dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight
there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have
big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.
Besides (除了) the cold and darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger---other animals. Animals eat!
They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea
animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals" meal.

camps in the woods, in the mountains or on a lake.
But families now have many choices of specialty camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big
city. Specialty camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects.
In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how
to use computer programs to create games of their own.
One program that teaches video game design is called Cybercamps, located at the University of Maryland.
Children can learn how to design their own virtual worlds to set their video game in. Then they program their
own rules and objects into the game.
Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and web design. A recent story in the Washington Post
described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black
line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make web sites. One child made a site for
Pokemon, one of his favorite cartoon shows.
Kids-N-Technology is a day camp offered in several American cities. In the past twenty years, the number
of day camps in the United States has grown by almost 90%. Still, more than half of all camps are overnight
camps. But the American Camp Association says, over all, the most popular length of time for kids to attend
a summer camp is one week or less.
B. Because children can swim in the lake.
C. Because children usually stay in the woods.
D. Because children can learn different subjects.
B. Technology camps.
C. Taking a trip.
D. After school act
B. Three days.
C. About a week.
D. Two weeks.
How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your
neighbor, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so.
You"d love our school library, grandma. There are so many books for all kinds of subjects. The other day
I found a book about electronic engineering. I couldn"t really understand it but I hope to learn more about this
topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I thought I"d tell you about them.
I now study biology, which is really interesting. I"m learning all about the human body, where everything
is and what it does. Do you know that we have a kissing muscle? It"s called "orbicularis" (轮匝肌) and it"s a
circular muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It"s so interesting!
Another new subject is religion. I didn"t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to
hear about how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the
world, not only Asia. Do you know about the religion on the island of Bali in Indonesia? They have a unique
religion which is based on Hinduism but also has elements of Buddhism as well. It is called Bali Hindu Dharma.
I am just learning more about it but it sounds fascinating.
My other new subject is Spanish. It"s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful
for me in the future, if I want to travel the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European
Union and the United Nations. I"ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America, too.
Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I"ve always wanted to go to
Mexico, so if I can speak some Spanish it would be really useful.
Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time,
doesn"t it? I"ll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks" time. I"ll bring you
some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you
very much.
Lots of love,
Sara
