Sun Mei was 14 when she began working in a small restaurant last year. Usually she works for 13 to 15 hours a day. She welcomes people, serves tea, washes dishes and cleans the floor. She seldom has a day off. ―At the end of the day, I feel so tired,‖ said Sun. ―My family is poor. There is no money for me to go to school.‖
There are 250 million children in the world who are working in hard, sometimes dangerous conditions. India has the biggest number of child workers in the world—44 million.
Children do all kinds of work. Most of them work in the fields. They pick vegetables, clear grass and move rocks. Some work in factories making clothes, glass, matches and many other things. Others sell things in the markets.
Why do children work? Many children work to make money for their families to live on. Another reason is that schools are too far away or there are no schools in the area at all.
In China, there is a law called ―Prohibition of Child Labour‖ (《禁止使用童工规定》). It says any company mustn‘t hire children under 16 and anyone who introduces a child to work will be fined (罚款) 5,000 yuan.

三、阅读与表达
A farmer had some puppies (baby dogs) to sell. As he was putting up an ad on the edge of his yard, he felt a pull on his trousers. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
―Mister,‖ he said, ―I want to buy one of your puppies.‖
―Well,‖ said the farmer, ―these puppies come from fine parents and cost much money.‖
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. ―I‘ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?‖
―Sure,‖ said the farmer.
And with that he called, ―Here, Dolly!‖
Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur (绒毛). The little boy‘s eyes danced with joy. As the dogs made their way to the fence (栅栏), the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner (笨拙地) the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up.
―I want that one,‖ the little boy said, pointing to the smallest puppy.
The farmer knelt (跪) down at the boy‘s side and said, ―Son, you don‘t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.‖
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up (卷起) one leg of his trousers. In doing so he showed a steel brace (金属支架) running down both sides of his leg and a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, ―You see, sir, I don‘t run too well myself , and he will need someone who understands.‖
Actually our world is full of people who need someone who understands. 11. Who came to see the puppies?

Dear Pingping,
How are you getting on these days? I don‘t want to trouble you because I can imagine how busy you are! But I really need your help.
My friend Elena has a problem. She found she couldn‘t read the numbers on the bus to school yesterday. We are going to have an eye test in school next week. She wants me to go first and tell her the letters on the chart. She doesn‘t want to wear glasses. I‘m not sure what I‘m going to do.
I don‘t want to lose a good friend! I might be ill on the day of the test!! Love from Sandra
PS: By the way. I‘ve got a new email address: www.facebook.com
