While other children were just starting their ABCs, three-year-old Mark Swallow was already reading Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. By the age of seven he was speaking fluent French and German and studying both Latin and Greek. Now, at the age of 12, Mark has just started a university degree in English literature.

Mark and other child geniuses（天才）will be the subject of a new documentary series which takes a look into the lives of these children and their families. In the programmes we will meet children like eight-year-old Daniel Manning, who wrote his first book at just five and who has just signed a £60, 000 contract（合同）with a publishing house to write three novels. Then there is 12-year-old Samantha Price, who started piano lessons when she was three. Along with the piano, she now also plays the cello, clarinet and classical guitar. She has already played with three top European bands. And how about ten-year-old Jordan Welsh? She first picked up a paint brush before she could walk. She has already had an exhibition（展览）of her paintings in one of London's top art galleries and has just won a major prize for one of her paintings.

Over the next six weeks we will see what it is that makes these children so special. We will find out how and when their parents knew they were different and about the changes it made to their family life. We will hear from the children about their hopes and plans for the future.

My hobby is collecting old mobile phones. Even people I don't know send me their old phones these days when they find out about my strange hobby. It all started when I was eight. I saw my parents using their mobiles all the time and I kept asking them if I could have one. My dad told the guy next door about this and one day he came round with a ten-year-old phone he no longer used. Everyone at school thought it was great when I took it there the next day, even though it didn't actually work!

Everyone has a reason for collecting things. For some, it's because whatever they're collecting maybe worth lots of money in the future. Others love having something that could be shown in a museum somewhere. That's certainly what attracts （吸引）me to it. I often wonder what's inside them, as they're so much heavier than modern phones.

Some people find my hobby a bit strange. I used to tell everyone about it, but some people just didn't know what to say, so they ended up feeling uncomfortable, which I'd rather avoid. I can completely understand-not everybody keeps over 150 old mobile phones in their bedroom! Most people find the fact it's unusual really interesting, and I'm proud to have such an unusual hobby.

My mum and dad put up some shelves to keep my collection on. Although there's probably space for a few more, and there are still some particular （特定的）phones I'd like to find, I may give up collecting them before long. My dad recently gave me the coins he collected when he was my age and they look amazing. It's a far more expensive hobby but I really love having a go at it. I've spent more or less nothing on my phone collection so I've managed to save up quite a bit. We'll see!

People spend about a third of their lives sleeping. That might sound like time is wasted, but it's not. Even in a deep sleep, the brain is busy. It's hard at work sorting（整理）memories, cleansing itself of wastes and more. The time of rest also helps the body become stronger.

That's why experts suggest that teenagers get about nine hours of sleep each night. But surveys（调查）show that teenagers are getting less and less sleep. That's a problem. It will make them feel tired and upset during the day and have difficulty dealing with stress.

It's hard to say exactly why teenagers have become more sleep--deprived（睡眠不足的），One reason may be school start times. As people go through puberty（青春期），they become natural night owls. Their bodies don't produce the hormone melatonin—which tells the brain it's time for bed—until later at night. Sleep usually comes most easily between 11 p. m. and 8 a. m. But most public middle and high schools start before 8 a. m.

Another reason may be screens. A survey about 370, 000 American teenagers has shown an increase in trading（交换）sleep for screen time. What's more, the light from phones, computers and other electronic devices makes the brain stop them from sleeping. That's because the light has blue wavelengths also found in sunlight. This cheats the brain and makes it think it's daytime.

Research suggests that people who use screens in bed have a harder time going to sleep. New LED technology could reduce（降低）that influence. . But in the meantime（与此同时），experts suggest putting away phones at least 30 minutes before bed. It might be hard to stop thinking about a lively group talk or a wonderful TV show, but turn off the phone and have a good sleep. Your body and brain will thank you.

What do you do when you want a cold drink? You probably get a drink from your icebox. But people did not have iceboxes before the early 1900s. How did they keep things cool before then?

In the past, it was difficult to keep food cold. Warm foodspoils quickly. People tried many different methods to keep things cold. They used to put food in cool small rivers or in large holes under the ground near their homes. They also stored food like vegetables and fruits in rooms under their houses. These rooms stayed cooler in warm months. However, none of these methods was perfect.

What was a better way? Putting food on ice. In 1000 BCE, people in China collected ice and snow. Then they dug holes under their homes and filled them with the ice and snow. After that, they put their food in the holes. In many countries, people continued to do this for about 2, 000 years.

There are a few problems with this method. First, ice and snow are not to be found everywhere. Second, ice turns into water when heated. An American businessman named Frederick Tudor solved these problems. He wanted to carry ice to hot places, such as the Caribbean. In the early 1800s, he sent a ship full of ice from Boston, Massachusetts, to the island of Martinique. Almost all of the ice turned into water. After that happened, Tudor realized that he had to find a way to keep the ice at 0℃ or below. He spent ten years working on the problem. Finally, he tried putting sawdust-very small pieces of wood-between the pieces of ice. It worked! Sawdust keeps ice at 0℃ or below for a longer period of time.

People used to work hard to keep their food and drinks cold. Now, it's much easier. The next time you want a cold drink, imagine your life without an icebox.
