Jane is only four and doesn't go to school. But she is very clever and learns a lot from her grandpa — an old teacher. One day, Jane's mother, Mrs. John takes her to a party. The guests all praise a rich woman's boy. Mrs. John asks him a few questions, but all his answers are wrong. Jane begins to laugh(嘲笑) at him.
    The rich woman is angry. She tells her friend—a teacher to ask Jane some questions, but the girl's answers are all right. Then she asks, "There are 3 birds in a tree. How many will be left if I kill (杀死) one?"
    “One.” Answers Jane.
    “You're wrong!” Calls out the rich woman. “All of them will fly away!”
     “Do you think a dead bird can fly?” Asks the little girl.
    The guests begin to laugh and the woman's face turns red.

    Hello, I'm Nina. I go to school from Monday to Friday. I have Chinese, maths and music on Mondays. I like Tuesdays and Fridays, because we have art. I don't like P. E, so I don't like Thursdays. I often watch TV and do homework on Saturdays. On Sundays, I often read books and wash my clothes.

    There are many mice in a house. The man of the house gets a cat. The cat kills many of the mice. The oldest mouse says, "All the mice must come to my room and we will think what we can do about this cat."

All the mice come. Many mice speak, but none knows what to do. At last a young mouse stands up and says, "We must put a bell on that cat. Then the cat will not catch any more mice." Then the old mouse asks, "Who will put the bell on the cat?" No mouse answers. At last he says, "It is easy to say things, but it is hard to do them."

    The students of Grade One are going to have a winter camp. They are going to live together for a week. No one is going to help them. They must go shopping and do the cooking and washing themselves. On the first two days, they are going to stay in the camp. They can watch videos and play computer games and get everything ready for the next five days. On the third day, they are going to visit a modem car factory. On the fourth or fifth day, they are going to have a picnic. On the sixth day, they are going to get up early and watch the sunrise. They are going to come back on the seventh day. Some of them are coming home by train and some of them are coming back by bus.
