During work hours in Becker’s bread shop, the kitchen is especially quiet except the sound of the machine. The quiet environment is not the result of the strict rules, but because all the workers are deaf. They use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.
Becker’s shop is in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It sells many kinds of German bread, cakes and coffee. It is very popular for the story of Becker who opened it.
Over twenty years ago, Becker and his wife heard about a Chinese public project. It provided language training for the disabled children, but it was short of trainers in Changsha. So they came in 2002 with a common wish to do something meaningful in life.
In Changsha, together with other Chinese trainers, they helped children improve their hearing and language pronunciation. Every little progress each child experienced was a great encouragement to them, and they achieved their goal in life.
After ten years of working for this project, they found that the disabled adults couldn’t be independent because they had no professional skills. Then Becker and his wife set up a bread shop to teach these people how to make bread. With their help, all of them were able to live on their own.
Luckily, Becker and his wife have also got the support from the local government. More people join them and understand that disabled people can work as well as others when they have the same chances.

Last week，Chicago became the first city in the US to join the "Lights Out Plan"．People turned off the lights in the city's tallest buildings，so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes．Every year in autumn，some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south，and come back the next spring．
Lights mean danger to birds．Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky．Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars．This means they can not find the right way to go home．
This month，about 300types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter．Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons．Many birds cannot live in the cold，so they fly to warmer places．But there are other reasons，too．Birds need to look for food in the south．Another reason is that they want to have baby birds．Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same "house" they lived in last year，so they fly back there．
There are about 9，000kinds of birds in the world，and about 600kinds of birds migrate（迁徙）．Some birds can fly a very long way．Sometimes they fly to other countries．We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds．
