with silver jewelry (首饰)One day Sequoyah was advised to put his name on the silver jewelry he made.However，he could not write his name because Cherokee was only a spoken language.Sequoyah decided to learn how to write his name，so he asked one of his customers (顾客) to teach him，who knew English very well.From that time on，Sequoyah signed (签名) his work in English.Then Sequoyah realized that a written language was necessary for his people.In 1809，he started by making small drawings，and then he experimented with creating a letter for each sound in the Cherokee language.First，Sequoyah picked out all the sounds in the Cherokee language.Then he gave each sound a symbol.Unlike English，however，no two sounds shared the same symbol.Sequoyahs work was difficult and took him a lot of time.Worse，those around Sequoyah didnt understand what he was doing with all those strange symbols.Some raised doubts about his work.However，Sequoyah didnt stop working.In 1821，Sequoyah completed his alphabet (字母表)Each symbol in the alphabet symbolized one of the eightyfive sounds in the Cherokee language.By saying the name of each symbol，a person could read the spoken word.Sequoyah taught the symbols to his sixyearold daughter，Ayoka.One day，they went to visit the elders of the Cherokee Nation.Sequoyah asked Ayoka to leave while he wrote down what the elders said.When Ayoka returned，she read out loud what Sequoyah had written.The elders were stunned.Ayoka was able to repeat their words without being present！Sequoyahs alphabet was soon accepted as the written language of the Cherokee Nation.语篇解读本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了切罗基语文字的由来。21Sequoyah learned to sign his work_.Aso that he would become famous Bwith the help of one of his customersCwhen he moved to a Cherokee villageDin order to save the

Superintendent (负责人) Lew Collins said during the schools Thursday night meeting that the schedule (时间表) for the schools will be changed.Oceanside East and West will start a half hour later，at 8 am for their new school year.Research has shown that teenagers brains are often not fully awake at 6：30 am Collins said the schedule，which is used to get students to school for classes that begin at 7：30 am，calls for some to get on buses before 6 am to get to school on time.Teachers are having meetings at 6：40 am，which is too early，he thinks.Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin.Most of them said 8：00 am “I was surprised.I thought they would have said 9：00 or 10：00，” he said. The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers biological clocks (生物钟) are designed to stay up later and get up later.The Foundation called for schools to change their schedules，which means a later start as well for elementary students (小学生)We do not have enough buses to run，since all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time，Collins said.He suggested，“We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.” Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8：30 am，but will be moved to 8：45 am，starting in the autumn.“I know this is a problem for working parents，but we will see what we can come up with，” said Jane Brown，a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School.“Anyway，I believe if students get more sleep theyll be more ready to learn when classes start，” she added.语篇解读本文是说明文。考虑到学生们的身体特点，Rockland的学校将要推迟上课时间。33A new schedule will be made to_.Aadd more interesting subjectsBhelp students do better in c
