Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, and I was driving .
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned , and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. No car, no suggestion of headlights, there I sat, waiting for the light to , the only human being, for at least a mile in any .
I started wondering why I to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no in going through it.
Much later that , after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light me. I think I stopped it's part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow : we don't go through red lights.
We do we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.
I was so of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.

A man who was short and round seemed to be the principal and he opened the door for me. "The school," he said, "has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen years old." According to the man, I should have to teach all the subjects art, which the man himself taught. I should have to the class into three groups and teach them at three different levels, and I was not glad at the of teaching Maths -a subject which I wasn't good at. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be themselves at that time.

People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to learn more about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes（态度）, how they feel about business, beauty and history.
What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts(对比，对照): the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.

Dear Jenny．
How is it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I've been back at school nearly four weeks. I am very glad to tell you that great have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we are aked to "clean our plates" when having our meals and say to waste. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food and money. Now we need to the food we order.
We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we the classroom. And our school has opened up some for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has to grow some tomatoes and beans in our spare time. I think it'll be very interesting. Maybe I'II be able to you some beans we've grown next time.
What's more, we have only two classes in the afternoon we have more time for after-school activities. I am one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns asking people in the streets near our school to the traffic rules.
I think our school life is now improving! Please write back soon and tell me more about your school.
Yours truly,
Wang Wei
