Swine Flu: What it is? How to fight it?
Swine flu: What it is, how to fight it
By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY
It's a common respiratory ailment in pigs, but this strain appears to be a subtype never before seen in pigs or humans. Here are answers to questions you may have about swine flu.
Q: What is swine flu?
A: It's a common respiratory disease in pigs that doesn't usually spread to people. When pigs catch this flu, many get quite sick, and 1% to 4% die, according to the World Health Organization. In the past, people have sometimes caught swine flu if they worked directly with pigs.
Q: How is this swine flu virus different?
A: This strain appears to be a subtype not seen before in humans or pigs, with genetic material from pigs, bird and humans, according to WHO. Unlike most cases of swine flu, this one can spread from person to person, saidRichard Besser, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a White House press conference Sunday. One of the confirmed cases in the USA caught swine flu from a spouse, who had been toMexico.
Q: Were pigs the carriers of this virus?
A: It's closer to say that pigs were the mixing bowl for this virus. Birds can't pass bird flu to people. But pigs are uniquely susceptible to getting flu viruses that infect birds. Experts have long worried that a pig would catch a bird strain of the flu and then the virus would mutate inside the pig to a form that could also infect other mammals. That may be what happened in this case. Pigs can also be infected with more than one influenza virus at a time, allowing the viruses to share genes, called "genetic reassortment," creating new & potentially much more virulent viruses.
Q: Can you catch swine flu from eating pork?
A: No, according to WHO. Pigs coming in to slaughter facilities are monitored for flu symptoms, and those that are ill are not allowed to enter the food supply. Cooking also kills the virus. People who work with pigs, however, can catch the virus. The Department of Agriculture is conducting tests to confirm that the food supply is safe, said Janet Napolitano, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Q: Is there a vaccine against swine flu?
A: No, but government scientists could try to create one, according to the CDC. "We've identified the virus," Besser said. "Should we decide to manufacture a vaccine, we can work toward that goal very quickly." CDC scientistsdon't know if this year's flu vaccine offers any protection.
Q: What about antivirals? Can they prevent swine flu?
A: This strain of swine flu does appear sensitive to the antiviral drugs Relenza and Tamiflu, but not to amantadine, or Symmetrel, and rimantadine, or Flumadine, Besser said. With normal seasonal flus, if taken within the first 48 hours after symptoms appear, antivirals can help people recover a day or two sooner. Doctors sometimes prescribe antivirals to household members of people with the flu to prevent them from getting sick.
Q: What are the symptoms?
A: The most common symptoms are fever, fatigue, lack of appetite and coughing, although some people also develop a runny nose, sore throat, vomiting or diarrhea, according to the CDC.
Q: What should you do if you have these symptoms?
A: Stay home from work or school, to avoid spreading your illness to other people, Besser said. Don't get on an airplane. People should call their doctors to ask about the best treatment, but should not simply show up at a clinic or hospital that is unprepared for their arrival.
Q: How can people protect themselves?
A: As always, people should wash their hands frequently, Besser said. In the past, the CDC has said there isn't conclusive evidence to support using face masks. Surgical masks are designed to prevent the wearer from spreading germs, but may also catch large respiratory droplets if someone sneezes nearby. In a 2007 statement, the CDC said these masks could be worn if someone needs to go to a crowded place, such as a grocery store, for a short time. N95 respirator masks filter out 95% of particles to prevent the wearer from breathing them in. These must be fitted properly around the nose to create a seal, so they can make breathing difficult.
Q: What does it mean for the government to declare a public health emergency?
A: While the declaration "sounds more severe than it is," Napolitano said Sunday, it will free up funds and allow health officials to use medications and tests that aren't normally used. The government also issued a publichealth declaration during recent floods in North Dakota and Minnesota, she said, and noted that the government often issues such declarations when hurricanes are approaching. The federal government is also releasing 25%of the 50 million doses of antiviral medications in the nation's Strategic National Stockpile, Napolitano said. The Department of Defense is also making 7 million doses available.
Q: Why has the virus been so much deadlier in Mexico, where 1,300 have become ill and more than 80 people have died, than in the USA?
A: "What we've seen in this country is not anywhere near the severity of what we're seeing in Mexico," Besser said. Doctors don't yet know why cases have been milder in the USA, where only person has been hospitalized, although 20 cases have been confirmed, Besser said.

早报文章分享 - 孩子的语言
孩子的语言
（2009-04-23）
● 丹女
孩子最小开始接触语言时，他们夫妻俩根据家里传统，以华文华语作为主要语言。当时她住北京，很容易买到华文幼儿图书。书架上摆了满满一橱，孩子随手抓来就是一本。
在讲究双语教育的新加坡，她努力在家里维持双语平衡。书本两种都有，沟通语言以华语为主。许多家长的经验告诉她，如果孩子在家里最早接触的是以英文英语为主，母语为副，很快地孩子就不再愿意看华文书，不再愿意讲华语。太多父母这样告诉她：不知道为什么，我们跟孩子讲华语，孩子却只愿意用英语回答！
她知道，原因就在最早的时候，孩子的主要语言是英语。现在连她的孩子，那个两岁就开始认华文字的孩子，也在摸熟了英文拼音的奥秘之后，发现自己能够阅读比华文书更深奥的英文书之后，开始将双语平衡的局面倾向了英文英语那一边去。抓起笔来，孩子唰唰唰地就可以用拼音的方式写英文短文，但是华文短文，她却得一个字一个字地去问父母，或者辛辛苦苦地（对5岁的孩子来说的确辛苦）查字典。
她发现失衡了，马上从香港搭火车到深圳最大的书城去找简体字的，适合孩子看的中文书。她意识到英文书的利害。那种一系列一系列的，带有神话色彩而且故事情节紧张紧凑的英文书，正吸引着孩子踏进英文世界的文化与知识宝库里。没有相应的华文书，孩子很快就会对华文世界的文化环境感到陌生。
她搜寻书城的整层儿童华文书部门，几次这样冲过来深圳找书的经验，她发现儿童中文书的选择还真是贫乏。她找到了一堆一堆的《安徒生童话》《一千零一夜》，还有四大名著的几十种简易版本，她找到了适合中年级孩子阅读的曹文轩、郑渊洁、杨红樱；但是适合一个五六岁孩子读的华文书，相等于英文世界里的“Magic School bus”、“Magic Tree House”、“Oxford Reading Tree”等等的，让孩子一步一步学习阅读的故事书却不存在！
后来她在香港报章上看到说，中国孩子最喜欢的书十之八九是翻译小说，就连“当当网”的儿童畅销书也是翻译过来的，她就觉得很凄惨。她东凑西凑，到哪一个中国城市她就肯定逛儿童图书部，终于凑起一架子尚可以的儿童华文书。然后她又花几毛钱，买了一本大方格的小簿子，再自己动手弄一个适合孩子的字表，方便孩子写华文短文的时候查阅。
经过了一番努力，一番折腾，她感觉家里的双语环境又恢复平衡了。吁！还真是不容易呀！

Our school's fund-raising concert Nanyang Glitters is on 1 August.
The children are practising very hard for their Rock & Roll dance
item, and it is very heartwarming to see them trying and putting
in effort to master the steps beautifully. Well done! =)
A big thank you also goes to Mrs Au, our Parent Volunteer dance
instructor, and also to Mdm Jam, another helpful parent, who helps
alongside Mrs Au during the sessions. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! =)
We will be having practices during the June hols too. I have given
out the consent forms to the children today, please sign and return
it back to me tomorrow.
The training schedule for June hols is as follows:
June 1 (Mon) 10am - 12 noon (Music Room 1)
June 15 (Mon) 10am - 12 noon (Dance Room)

June 22 (Mon) 10am - 12 nnon (Dance Room)

on the consent form. And hopefully if you are free during the above
training dates and timings, you are most welcome to join us too! =)

School Letter for "The More We Get Together" =)
Dear Parents,
We are very happy to have 4 Moms joining 2B for this Friday's
"The More We Get Together". =) We can have up to 4 parents
to join us for each session as invited guests. Hopefuly for the next
5 sessions, more Dads can come and join us too! =) I am sure
the children will be over the moon to see their parents coming and
taking part in their school events! =)
The following is the school letter for "The More We Get Together".
"On behalf of the school, I would like to thank you for your keen participation in our P2 Innovation Project! Thank you for taking time off to join us in this get-together session during recess. We look forward to your presence this Friday! Please be informed that you may park your car in the school compound. Kindly be in the school canteen by 9.15am. As we are operating on a very tight budget, we are very sorry to inform you that the school only provides mineral water and kueh (Peranakan theme) for parents who are joining us. Alternatively you may wish to bring along your own breakfast. We seek your understanding in not purchasing food and drinks from the canteen vendors, and not to purchase additional food for your child. This is to reinforce and inculcate responsibility on the part of the children (to remember to bring their home-packed food) as well as to create more bonding time among the pupils (and parents).
If you have any specific concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your attention and have a good day ahead!"
Looking forward to see you joining us! =)

Nanyang Radio Club 最IN频道 =)
Dear Parents and Children,
The following is an "advertisement" from our very own Nanyang Radio Club. =)
"What did our pupils gain from watching the movie "You and me"? If you want to hear about their thoughts and feeling, please visit Radio Club's website for the special programme on "you and me" (《我和你》特别报道).
School days without wearing uniforms? What do our pupils think? Please listen to the programme, 学生应该穿校服吗？, which was aired on FM95.8. This would be a pretty good example for the children to learn how to express their point of view with clarity.
Welcome to Radio club (最IN频道) website：http://www.nyps.moe.edu.sg/radio/"
Hope it will be entertaining, meaningful and interesting for you! =)

"What did our pupils gain from watching the movie "You and me"? If you want to hear about their thoughts and feeling, please visit Radio Club's website for the special programme on "you and me" (《我和你》特别报道).
School days without wearing uniforms? What do our pupils think? Please listen to the programme, 学生应该穿校服吗？, which was aired on FM95.8. This would be a pretty good example for the children to learn how to express their point of view with clarity.
Welcome to Radio club (最IN频道) website：http://www.nyps.moe.edu.sg/radio/"
Hope it will be entertaining, meaningful and interesting for you! =)
Cheers!

早报副刊 - “学好华文，从小、 从家里开始”
学好华语 从小从家里开始
（2009-04-06）
● 莫美颜
讲华语运动的宣传片中洋小孩讲得一口字正腔圆的华语。
本地华族小孩为什么学不好自己的母语？听听两位语文教育专家周维介和韩永元怎么说。
最近从电视上看到今年讲华语运动宣传片中几个外国小孩讲得一口字正腔圆的华语，有家长觉得汗颜：为什么我的孩子就是不喜欢华文华语，就是没办法把这属于自己的母语掌握好。但也有家长不以为然：每个孩子都有他们的强处，这些孩子有特殊的语言天分，是天才，没什么了不起。
到底学好华语，是靠天赋还是后天努力？
华语文中心总监周维介受访时说：“确实有些人吸收语言的能力比人强些，他们不需要花费太大的力气就能把某一种语言学好。比如，一些印尼或菲律宾女佣，在华族家庭工作一段时日，便能以方言或华语与雇主及其家庭成员交谈，他们并没有上过任何语言课，凭的是自己天生的语言能力。”
有语言天赋不过是比别人占了一些便宜，要是缺乏后天的努力，他也不一定能把语文水平提升。而周维介认为，学习语言的成败跟心态、环境与年龄有着密切关系。
“不喜欢”华文与大环境有关
他说：“心态和动机是互动的，一个人的学习动机强烈，心态自然积极，学习效果就明显。”
但周维介却发现，这些年来新加坡儿童“害怕”、“不喜欢”学习华文的问题似乎越来越严重，而这种心态与大环境有很大的关系。
我们生活的是一个英文大环境，在这样一个大环境里，不论在家中，或是走出家门，只要掌握英语，便如鱼得水，无往不利。可是不懂华语，在新加坡不会造成生存威胁，也不会遭逢生活的不便。周维介说：“这种主次分明现象，孩子能轻易感受得到而削弱了孩子学习华语的积极性。”
还有，周维介说，本地学生还强烈感觉到，英语是这个时代的语言宠儿。他们感觉到英语的卡通、电子游戏、影片、读物、歌曲、舞蹈以及物质世界的种种事物，都比华语世界来得先进、精彩、优越，而学习华语华文，只因它和自己的华族肤色有关。
本地华族孩子还碰到一个问题，他们大部分先接触英文英语，再学习华文，对比之下，便觉得一字一音，得牢记；一笔一画，马虎不得的华文比英文难学许多。
加上许多家长把华语的学习定位在“考试”上。从小，孩子就从父母的言语中得知：华文科成绩不理想，会影响升学、选校，于是大家便陷入考试项目的积极追求，任何与考试无关，能提升华文水平的学习活动，都通通忽略掉。他说：“这种心态，是很难把语文学好的。”
在学校讲华语是“异类”
汉语文中心校长韩永元也认为环境因素是造成本地很多孩子害怕或不喜欢华文的原因。他说，家长自己不喜欢华文，或是曾经在学生时代吃过学华文的“苦”，比如被老师责骂或惩罚，结果给孩子造成华文难搞的可怕印象。
他发现，在一些学校，华文等同于外来语，全校华族学生都以英语交谈。说华语会被当作“异类”，于是会讲的不敢大声讲，不会讲的更怕讲。
另外，韩永元认为，学生喜不喜欢华文跟教学方法也有关系。“ 一个好老师，一种好的教学方法，能帮助害怕华文的学生解除害怕心理，逐渐喜欢华文；反之，则只有使学生更讨厌、更害怕。”
另一个不能忽略的是年龄因素。周维介说：“语言是一种习惯，越早培养越好，障碍越少，起步越容易。”
至于外国小孩，周维介说：“他们能把华语说得那么好，应该是动机问题，加上没有心理障碍，又肯付出，效果就大些。”
其实不只外国小孩，韩永元说：“本地的非华族，包括印度同胞、马来同胞、欧亚裔同胞等，把华文学好的例子也很多。这主要是有远见的父母的大力支持和竭力制造各种有利条件，比如物色好学校，好老师，让孩子参加华语为媒介的儿童演艺班等等。”
学华语起步不能慢
学语文没有什么灵丹妙药，没有捷径，一定得付出。怕不怕、喜不喜欢是个主观问题，没有标准答案。若要使孩子不怕华语华文，进而喜欢它，周维介说，起跑不能慢，一切应从孩子幼小时开始，因为补洞是一件很辛苦的事，要花的力气很大。早起步更利于建立学习信心，更有机会回避排斥心理。
三岁就可以累积本钱
他说，孩子三几岁时家长就可以开始帮他累积学华文的本钱，那么当他进幼儿园时，就不会因为别的小孩会讲华语他不会而丧失学习的信心。
周维介劝请家长，千万要为孩子创造学习华语的语言环境。在孩子还小的时候，就让他们自然地接触华语，自然地对父母讲，对长辈说，自然地观赏华语电视节目、看华语卡通、听华语歌曲，翻阅华文图书等。他说，这种环境浸濡，能让孩子在很小的时候就习惯这种语言，可避免心理障碍的形成。
他觉得，家长不能指望学校单方面就能使孩子掌握好华语，因为语言的学习需要“大课堂”。
韩永元说，家长也可以送孩子到语文中心学习，要不然就鼓励孩子多与讲华语的邻居或同学交往，制造学习机会。
在孩子的学习阶段，家长还要给他们鼓励和打气。“鼓励、打气永远不会错。有时候，就好比和孩子一块下象棋，你故意输一两盘，让他得意，信心有时就是从这里开始的。”周维介说，负面的言词，或过多的指责，或指令式的语言，只会打击孩子的信心，应小心处理。
但家长也不应一味迁就，他说：“孩子一表示没兴趣，父母就决定作罢，这不是很好的选择，在我们的环境里要学好华文，坚持的态度很重要。”
韩永元也说，在孩子学习华文的道路上，家长不但不能“放任”孩子，还要把孩子的被动性转变为主动性。当然要做到这点家长得下很大的功夫。
Dear Parents,
Allow me to share some interesting articles from Lianhe Zaobao. It is my long time habit to read the Chinese newspapers everyday, eversince I was a teenager in Nanyang Girls' High.
If I miss one day of reading, its like there's something missing.. I won't feel comfortable and
"complete" till I lay my hands on the newspapers for that day. Trust me, it's addictive. ;p
How I wish the children will one day find the reading of Chinese Newspapers interesting and
meaningful too. =)
The above article is an interview of 2 very established Chinese educators in Singapore. One
of them, 周维介先生, is the owner and director of 华语文中心, the vendor who has rendered
their service to our school for many years. The other gentleman, 韩永元先生(笔名韩劳达), is a very famous figure in the Chinese scene of Singapore. He has headed many performances and wrote a series of books on 相声, especially during my schooling years. Not to mention, he is also
the owner and principal of another famous Chinese learning centre - 汉语文中心.
I hope you have enjoyed reading the article. It has provided some insights into how we can
help the children in their paths of Chinese learning. :)
祝您有个愉快的夜晚！
黄老师 =)

早报副刊 - 潘星华《南洋小学》
南洋小学
（2009-04-04）
● 潘星华
小依：
久已不进戏院的我，上星期六下午，到国泰戏院看了一部电影，留下深刻印象。
这部电影用中国歌手刘欢在去年北京奥运会唱出的主题歌《我和你》作为戏名。《我和你》优美的旋律和它世界大同的意愿，也贯穿全戏，使这出记录10名南洋小学学生到中国农村体验生活，本是既普通又平凡的影片，显得非常大气，而且还有动人的感染力。观众的反应大概都和我一样，笑声不绝的同时，眼角还微泛湿润。
两星期前，我到南洋小学出席有关这部电影制作的记者会，就深受感动。
首先，我被王梅凤校长勇于尝试，敢于承担的魄力折服。
2005年9月，王梅凤展开了一项让小五生免考升级试，到中国沈阳东北育才学校，进行为期三个月深度浸濡的计划。在新加坡，敢于这样做的小学校长，只有王梅凤。去年8月，让三名教师，带10名学生，到前所未闻的河北省康保县高家沟去浸濡八天，还拍了一部电影回来。在新加坡，敢于这样做的小学校长，只有王梅凤。
让娇生惯养，10朵温室里的小花，仅用八天时间，就品尝到其他人一年或者10年也没有的人生体验。什么叫“少教多学”？这就是了。
王梅凤说：“新加坡太小了，我们不能局限孩子在课室、校园里。为了给孩子做好日后走向世界的准备，我们必须安排走出去的机会，从小让他们认识世界，谦虚去向世界学习。”过去几年，南小在她的主掌下，推出的种种计划，一步步实践这个教育理念。
她说：“制作这部电影，我要让家长知道学习不仅是书本的学习，学习是多姿多彩的。”
参与演出的10名南小学生，虽然毫无演戏经验，但是背后的制作队伍，却都是经验丰富的电影人。上海华映电影公司董事长董志刚，制片人刘滢、导演魏阿挺和摄影孙悦凌的参与，使这部电影有了专业水平。
他们的丰富经验，从飞到新加坡来，选“角儿”开始。经过他们的慧眼，三轮淘汰所选出的10名南小学生，纵使没有演戏经验，却都有表演细胞。而且，这10个孩子，不止没有“怕上镜”的小家气，还有惊人适应环境突变的大家气。
这边厢，刚下飞机；那边厢，立刻挤在颠簸的驴车上，摇摇晃晃进入河北省康保县最穷的村落高家沟去。24小时内，从最繁华城市进入最简朴的乡村，而且还能睡炕就睡炕，吃粗麦就吃粗麦，没有厕所就没有厕所、不能冲凉就不能冲凉。
这“浸濡学习”的环境无论有多糟，并不妨碍他们和高家沟的小朋友诚挚交往。向他们学习切菜、生火、放风筝、吹“叶笛子”；或反回来教他们用英语说“狗”，说“一二三四”。从放风筝后，中国孩子躺在草地上大喊“我太幸福了”，可知新中孩子相遇的情绪是高亢的，是愉快的；离别后，彼此是思念的，是依依不舍的。
电影短短88分钟，向观众呈现的，是两地小朋友，如何落实北京奥运会主题歌“我和你，心连心，同住地球村，为梦想千里行，相会在北京（高家沟），伸出你的手，（我们）永远一家人”所向往的境界。
“地球村一家亲”先在孩子们的世界实现。
