A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

Every day we see pictures like this on TV. We see Iraqi（伊拉克的）children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers when they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same as their small bodies when they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war.

“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed ?” asked the son of Abu, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain（解釋）this war to his eight-year-old son.

He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs（炸彈）are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn’t always true, nothing else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.

Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, hurt or even dead.

（　 ）61．What is happening to the children in Iraq because of the war?

　　 A．The children will get better than before.

　　 B．The children ask for food and water from American and British soldiers.

Hi! My name is Robert and I live in Chicago. My school is called Parkside Elementary.  It is Jake and Elizabeth’s school too.  Michael and Trevor’s school is called Lincoln Middle School.  In the USA many students go to elementary school between the ages of 5-10, then middle school between the ages of 11-13, and then a four year high school, and last but not least, many people go to college or vocational school. Our elementary school starts at 8:30 am and ends at 3:20 pm. We go to school on Monday through Fridays and have the weekends off.
Some of the favorite sports here in America are basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey, and more. But, my favorite sport is football. My favorite player in the NFL (National Football League) is Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears ( the Bears are my favorite team too).
Americans wear jeans, a shirt, socks, shoes, and sometimes a hat. I usually wear a baseball hat, my favorite pants, and my favorite shirt. My pants have 4 pockets on it, and my shirt has red and black stripes on it.
There is no common agreement in the west about the best method of education. Many views can be found among parents, teachers, and students.
