People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more!

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．。．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share
something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at C
