Soela Zani is a photographer from Albania. In 1988, a quiet boy lived next door to her. Born with Down's syndrome (唐氏综合征), the boy never spoke and seldom went outside because his parents felt shame to be seen with him.
“It was sad to see that,” Zani said. “Now, people know differently. Children with Down's syndrome are lovely. We need to accept them as they are and give them a chance to succeed in life.”
Zani wanted to do something for those lovely children, so she opened an exhibition (展览) last year at Albania's National Historical Museum. Photos of children with Down's syndrome were shown in the exhibition. In the photos, the children are copying poses (姿势) from famous paintings.
“When we opened the exhibition, the visitors enjoyed all the pictures. Many even started to cry in front of them. I was very touched,” Zani said. “These children are beautiful. They are pieces of art. This is my message.”
In some parts of Albania, having a child with Down's syndrome is still thought to be unlucky or shameful. But Zani has found the beauty of the children, inside and out. “There is no difference between a child with Down's syndrome and a child without it. They are the same,” Zani said. “This exhibition is a present from me to them.” Zani plans to take more photos of children with Down's syndrome and raise money for them this year.

In China, mung bean soup (绿豆汤) is an usual food to cool yourself in summer. But in 2010, your family might not make so much mung bean soup because of its high price.The price of the mung bean is now more than 20 yuan per kilo. That is more expensive than pork(猪肉)! Last year, mung beans cost only 6 yuan per kilo
What caused the price rise? Experts say there are several reasons.
First, there is a smaller mung bean supply in 2010. There was a drought in North-east China in 2009. It is China’s main producing area of bean. The drought stopped the beans from growing. Also, some other crops such as corn, wheat and rice sold well last year. So many farmers chose to grow those crops instead of mung beans. As a result, there are fewer beans on the market this year.
Second, there are more requirements for mung beans in the market. From January to March, our country’s crop export(出口) went up by 22 per cent from the last three months. That includes the export of mung beans. For example, 90 percent of mung beans in Japan market now come from China. And these days people are paying more and more attention to healthy eating habits, so they are eating more mung beans.
Another reason is that some sellers are buying a large number of mung beans from farmers. But they are not selling them to people. They store the mung beans. When the market is short of mung beans, the price goes up. Then people who have been storing mung beans can sell them at a higher price.
But you don’t have to worry that you cannot drink much mung bean soup to cool yourself this summer. There are other drinks that are good to drink on hot days, such as green tea, lemonade and fruit juice. And when fewer people want to buy mung beans, the price will go down at last.
