Alexis? father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite (背诵) bedtime stories. “We?d be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime story from the night before. She didn?t just recite them, and she recited them exactly.” Alexis? father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him.

Most 12-month-old children take their first steps on their own and most 18-month-olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two-step questions.

Even though Alexis is a genius (天才), her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.

“Does she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant (迟疑的) because we do want her to get to that social world,” Ian said.

Fairland Junior High School got an award called “Go Green School”. Students and teachers in

the school are taking action to take care of the environment. Growing vegetables

Fairland Junior High School students started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds (种子), then they pick the vegetables and use them in school meals. Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. “School dinners are tastier than ever before!” says one student. Recycling

Students in the school don’t just bring their books to school—they bring their used things too. There are recycling bins in the playground for cans, bottles, batteries (电池) and paper. They collect used things and sell them. The teachers give a prize every month to the student who tries the hardest to recycle. Planting trees

“This was one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas,” says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. “Now every child plants their own tree. He or she looks after it during the week. They make the view from the classroom beautiful!” Finding cleaner ways to get around

Everyone walks or cycles to Fairland School! “When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than by car,” says one student. Even the teachers don’t use their cars. “We won’t encourage our students to protect the environment if we don’t do it ourselves!” says one teacher. They are doing much to save energy.

Hope you have a good time at the dinner party!

Yours,

Jenny ?
