　　Peter didn't like to use his head. He never put his heart into his studies when he was at school. So he fell behind his classmates and couldn't pass the exams and he hardly finished middle school. Later on he found work in a factory. At first he worked in an office, but he was unable to do his job. He was sent to a workshop. He had to do some unskilled work there. He was always tired when he got home and went to bed as soon as he had supper.

　　Once the young man asked a barber (理发师) to cut his long hair off. He found the work was clean and light. He decided to be a barber too and left the factory. He took the barber as his teacher. Three months passed, but he learned nothing and the barber lost his patience (耐心) and told him to go home. The young man stayed at home and had nothing to do. His father helped him to open a barber's shop in their small town, but nobody would have their hair cut in his shop. His father wanted others to believe Peter and asked his son to cut his hair off. The young man was so afraid that he cut his father's ear off. The old man began to call out, “Ear! my ear!”

　　Peter picked the ear up and said, “Stop shouting, daddy! Your ear is here!”

　　During the day we work and play, and at night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. While we are asleep, our bodies grow fast. Children who are tired usually need more sleep. We can get our lessons better and we feel better, too, when we have plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air, we'll feel tired when we wake up while in bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, our lungs (肺) will not get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to grow and be strong must get plenty of sleep.

1．When do our bodies grow fast?

Dear Linda,

　　I have been in England three months now. I hope you don't think I've forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time for writing letters.

　　I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I won't tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.

　　I find some of the customs (风俗) new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise (举起) their hats to women but not to each other.

Yours,

Alice
