When Miyazaki Hayao（宮崎駿）was a little boy, he was not healthy, and it was

(Read Sandra’s diary and answer the questions.)
September 25, Friday
Early this morning I had a terrible dream. In a house, there was no light. I
couldn’t even see my own hands and feet. I didn’t know where I was. I tried to call my
parents, but I couldn’t find my cellphone. I wanted to know what time it was, but I
couldn’t see my watch. How bad! I walked slowly around the house, and I tried to find
the door or the windows. I was so surprised that there seemed to be no end at all. Then
I shouted loudly. I only heard my own voice. Suddenly, I saw a light over my head. Oh
my, it was the moon. I was so happy that I jumped up and down several times. At that
time, I found my mom and dad lying on the floor. They seemed dead. I closed my eyes
and cried out, “Who can help them?” A few minutes later, I opened my eyes and found
my mom sitting on my bed. She patted me on the head and said, “Good girl, it’s just a
dream. Don’t be afraid. I’m here!”
Thank you, Mom, for always being there for me.

The “High-Vis Chicken Jackets” were made by Omlet, the factory which makes
different kinds of clothes for pets. Paul, the boss of the factory, said many people had
asked about this kind of thing, so he decided to make it.
More and more people like to keep chickens as pets. The jackets made by Omlet
are used to keep the pets safe. The colors of the jacket are bright enough for the
chickens to be seen easily by car drivers or motorcycle riders. The jackets have only
been on the market for one week, but around 200 have been sold. The jackets are also
very important for some kinds of chickens because they have fewer feathers than the
others. However, the High-Vis jackets are not made for sleeping, so the owners have to
take them off for their chickens before they sleep. Also, don’t put the jackets on the
chickens if it is too warm in the house or too hot outside.
Chickens are not the first pet to wear High-Vis. A growing number of pets are
dressed by their owners for the same health and safety reasons. However, there are a
few problems for the jacket. Some people said the High-Vis Jackets look like the ones
made for guide dogs. Besides, many dogs don’t like the colors of the jackets and bark
when they see one.

Mr. Chang: Check this out. Being a waiter or waitress becomes the most popular job in
my class this year, and it was not even in the top five last year.
Ms. Huang: Really? What was the most popular job last year?
Mr. Chang: Let me see. Last year it was singers. This year it falls to the fifth.
Ms. Huang: Why do your students become so interested in restaurants?
Mr. Chang: They say they like eating delicious food and also many famous restaurants
pay well. Speaking of money, more and more students want to run their
own shops or stores because they want to make money and put the money
in their own pocket. So, being a boss was our fifth last year, but this year it
takes the third place.
Ms. Huang: Interesting. It looks as if they choose their jobs because of money.
Mr. Chang: Not really. Look! “Fashion designers” stays in our top five for two years,
and “video game testers” kicks out “lawyers” and climbs to our fourth this
year. They say those jobs are more fun. In fact, I like this change. In the
past, we chose our jobs for our parents. Now, most teenagers choose theirs
because of their interests.
