It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”
Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope, "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go, Millie, go!"

Do you collect anything？Collecting is a popular hobby with people around the world．Some people collect baseball cards，teapots，or seashells．Others collect some matchbook covers，stamps bottles or dolls．There are almost as many types of collections as there are collectors．
Coin collecting，called numismatics，is one of the oldest and most popular types of collecting．People like learning about coins and their history．They like the challenge of finding rare（稀有）or unusual coins．Some see their collections as a valuable investment．Others just enjoy the beauty and variety of their coins．
There are many different types of coin collections．Some numismatists choose to collect foreign coins．They may focus on a certain country or a certain time period when they begin their collections．Another popular way to collect is to choose a theme and then look for coins that have pictures of the animals，people，or object that fit into that theme．For example，a collector may search for coins with pictures of ships，birds or even famous people．
Some collections can become very valuable．This depends on several factors：the type of the coin，the rarity of the coin，and the need for the coin．If you own a rare coin that few people are interested in，it will be worth less than a rare coin that many people want to own．
Condition also plays an important role in deciding a coin's value．Serious collectors store their coins very carefully in special boxes．They touch their coins with special gloves．If you owned a Liberty Head coin from 1913，which is worth about one million dollars，you would probably be willing to give it special treatment，too!
If you are interested in starting a coin collection，the best thing to d is learn a little about it first．You can find books about coin collecting at the library，and you'll learn how to decide the value of various coins and store your collection properly．The next time you look through the coins in your pocket or in your piggy bank，you might find that you have the beginning of a very interesting hobby!
