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.

That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to some shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday. He walked away sadly and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him if she could. But he also knew very well she had money. He decided not to go home , as he looked worried and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair. He noticed that the boy moved the wheels with his hands. Michael looked at him carefully and was to see that the boy had no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It is better to be without shoes than feet.” he thought. There was no reason for him to so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in his life.

Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen.

Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).

“I did it.” My sister stepped forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was grounded for a month.
