Worries about school bus safety have drawn much attention. Now schools in some poor areas are looking 41 some other ways to go to school.
In the countryside, students are living in different places. And there isn’t enough time for school buses to go around and pick up 42 student. So the most useful way is to let students living in the 43 village take a special school bus which is for them only. And the cost is 44 by their parents and the school.
Each bus is asked to carry only five students on the same route(路线) every day. Traffic police are also making daily checks to make sure drivers don’t carry__45 than 5 students. For a bus like this, the drivers can 46 make any money. So schools pay 300 yuan to drivers every month. The rest comes from the parents’ pockets（口袋）.
The roads to the students’ homes are rough(崎岖的) and sometimes even dangerous, 47 falling rocks and narrow（狭窄的） bridges. After spending at least an hour on the road, the students finally make it home. 48 the money for taking a bus has increased and it’s not easy for parents to make money, they are glad to know that their children will 49 home safely each day. And they feel happy to see their child enjoy their time at school. But one girl says she’s seen the big yellow school 50 on TV, and wonders when she’ll ride one of her own.

Middle school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing and shouting happily going back to the classroom again. But should students spend their free time outside school?
In Western countries, it is ordinary for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can make their own money and learn more about the “ world”. They enjoy the independence(独立) and(of course) money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. , it seems that, in China, parents so much about their children’s studies that they prefer to see their children most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams. It is natural for to feel that way in China, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, western school children work long hours after school to make money, so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend much time on their studies that other things become3 less important.
So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job and you feel , your parents will also be happy because you’re spending the money you make and not theirs!
