Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily.
Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.
If you are followed by someone you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift (电梯).
If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don’t sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don’t sleep. Which of the following is NOT safe when you are out?
A.Go home alone late at night. |
B.Make sure where the public phones are. |

On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor(港)was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火车车厢)filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train(Merci:a French word meaning “thank you”).
After World War II, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children gave away their pocket money. All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949,the French had begun to recover(恢复)from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like hand-made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces. with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to ________.

Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job and pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions. What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power (the money you can make).
For example, the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you don’t finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school.
If you stay in school, then you can make more money. Let's look at the example again. A person with a high school degree makes about $ 18,600 a year.
