Jessica Wong from Hong Kong uses old clothes that people don’t wear anymore to make bags. She has been doing this     1     now. She opened a small shop where she sells her bags, and she has also set up a website to sell them     2    . She     3     likes to use old jeans to make handbags. Her bags are     4     and useful. “I     5     write a book about new ways to use old clothes,” she said. “I hope people can read my book and enjoy it!”

This sport is like football on bikes. There are two teams. Each team has usually got two players. Players in each team try to hit the ball into the goal. They can use their bikes or their heads to do this. The winning team is the team with the most goals at the end of the game.

This is an ancient sport from India. The players use two things: one long stick, called a danda and a short egg-shaped bat, called a gilli. There are two teams. One player puts the gilli on the ground inside a small circle and hits it into the air with the danda. Then the player hits the gilli gain and runs to touch a spot outside the circle to get a point.

The sport is also called underwater hockey(曲棍球). There are two teams. Each team has got six players. Players swim underwater to play this game. They use small sticks and a puck.

The winning team is the one with the most goals at the end of the match.

9 . “Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excited, because she can’t hear herself. Some kids turned to stare at us and I wanted to hide.

I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn.

Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced her to my family and explained that my parents are deaf.

“Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language?”

“Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm（掌心）up.

She repeated the movement.

“Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said.

In sign language, I repeated what Ms. Jennings had said in case my parents hadn’t read her lips（嘴唇）.

Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.”

Dad smiled in agreement.

Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door.

“I sit over there,” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk.

“Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly.

I turned around. “Hi.”

“I didn’t know your parents are deaf,” she said.

“Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say.

“And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.”

“You think so?” I asked with relief.

Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime?”

I smiled. “Of course.”

“One of my dad’s neighbours uses sign,” she said. “Maybe I can surprise her with a greeting next time I visit my dad.”

“Your dad doesn’t live with you?” I said.

She shook her head. “My parents are separated.”

“Oh, I…” I’d been so worried about my family that I hadn’t thought about Evelyn’s family. “Hey, if you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.”

I got my parents’ attention. “Mom, Dad,” I said, signing, “I’d like you to meet my friend Evelyn and her mom.”
