No one knows how man learned to make words. Maybe he began by making sounds. As time went by he made more and more sounds and more and more words. This is what we call languages.

　　People in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are fifteen hundred different languages in the world.

　　Some animals also have their own languages.

　　When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It wants to tell other bees where the food is. But it can't speak. So it does a little dance in the air. In this way it tells other bees where the food is.

1．All languages began by making sounds.

2．People from different countries have their own languages.

3．There are about 150 different languages in the world.

4．All animals have no languages.

5．A bee can't tell other bees where the food is－because it can't speak.

　　When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents．The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket．

　　I drove him to a nearby supermarket．Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car．It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents．Finally he came to the checkout counter(交款處)and reached into his pocket for his money．It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money．Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face．

　　Then a surprising thing happened．A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms．"You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman．"It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me．I only ask that one day you will pass it on．When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help．When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no．"

　　Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could．That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us．

　　I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets(毯子)and clothes for the homeless people in the fire．And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on．

Elementary School Library Rules

　　How many books are students allowed to borrow at once? Kindergarten and Grade One：Children are allowed to borrow one book a week．Grade Two and Up：Students in Grade Two and up are allowed to borrow two books a week．

　　How long is the loan? Books are loaned for about a week，however the school is on a 5-day cycle．Books are due on the cycle day．A book borrowed on Day 1 is due on the next Day 1，even if it is not the same day of the week．A book borrowed on Tuesday may be due on a Wednesday，if there is a holiday between when the book is borrowed and when it must be returned．

　　May I renew my book? Our computer system does not allow us to renew books，so they must be returned and checked out again．We ask students to return their books at the beginning of the day with their bookmark／library card inside and sticking out．We will check the book in and put it aside for the student to get when he returns with his class．

　　How much is the fine if I return a book late? There are no fines for children in grades K-6．However students who have an overdue book may not borrow another book．

If I have the right to borrow two books and I have returned one，may I take out another book?

If the book you have left at home is not yet overdue，you may take out another book．However，if it is overdue，you will not be allowed to take out another book．

What happens if I lose a book?

If you lose a book，we will give you time to look for it．

　　Some good places to look for books：

　　On your bookshelf，but placed upside down or backwards

　　In another basket in the classroom

　　Under a bed

　　Under a sofa or chair or cushion

　　Behind the couch

In your locker or school bag

　　If you can't find the book，we will ask you to pay for it．Since it will probably cost more to replace the book than we originally paid，we will charge you the full replacement cost，including tax and other costs．
