How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram(图表） of the result of our survey. Lets have a look at it.We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.Chores2000 teenagers in small villages2000 teenagers in big citiesTake out the trash16001000Sweep the floor1200850Make the bed1400750Do the dishes1100600Fold the clothes900 1500（ ）21.

People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out.Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?
