You want to run across the street to catch the bus which is leaving soon? But wait! You’d better not. If a policeman sees you, you’ll have to pay a fine（罚款）. New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104, 000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians（行人）must work together to make the streets safer.
The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them walk.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences along streets.
Do you bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan.
And stay in the bike lane when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet, ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.
Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and-run（肇事逃逸）, tell the police. They may give you a reward.
And don’t be afraid to help people to hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.Don’t go across the road when .

Mr. Smith had a hotel near the biggest train station in London. A lot of foreigners stayed there for the night. Mr. Smith only knew English, so he found it not easy for him to understand the people from other countries such as Russia, France and Japan. He thought Russian was boring but Japanese was interesting. So he asked a friend of his who knew Japanese to teach him. He studied hard and happily. At first he learned some, but soon he found that it wasn’t easy to remember Japanese words. His friend asked him to write down the useful words on his notebook so that he could use them. He did as he was told. He found it helpful for him to do so.
One evening, there were a lot of people in the dinning room of his hotel. They were all busy eating something, but a Japanese was walking up and down there. He seemed to be waiting for someone. Mr. Smith thought to himself, “ Maybe the man is hungry and wants to eat something, but he doesn’t know any English. I’ll try to help him.”
Because Mr. Smith knew only a little Japanese, he had to take out his notebook and showed the sentence “ I am very hungry” to the Japanese.
To his surprise, the Japanese took a look at it and gave him two dollars, and then left the hotel.

| How do astronauts have meals? Eating in space is different from eating on the earth. The food that astronauts carry with them doesn’t look like the food you eat on the earth. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the space capsule(太空舱), the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag. Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at a time. There can be no crumb(食物碎屑) floating around the capsule. Meat, cakes and cereal often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way. |

Enjoying a better life at school, with shorter class hours, greater privacy(隐私)and more rights is all you dream of, right?
For students in Shanghai, they are no longer just dreams. This week experts(行家)and law-makers in Shanghai had a meeting to talk about a new law(法律). It is called the “Shanghai Underage Protection Law(上海未成年人保护法)”.
The law says students’ diaries and letters are their secrets and “Nobody can read them if they don’t agree.”
Do your teachers sometimes say something bad to you? Maybe they send you out of the classroom because you fail to finish doing your homework. If this happens in Shanghai, you can stand up and say “No”.
Shanghai students may have less homework because of the law. Class hours may become shorter for juniors next year, down from 45 minutes to 40 minutes in some schools.
The law also talks about students’ health. According to the rules,“Smoking in these places full of kids is not allowed.”That means you can ask your teacher to stop if he smokes in a classroom.
The law makes schools safer for students. “No dancing halls, Internet bars or computer game bars are allowed within(在……以内)200 meters of a school gate.” the law says.
The law is great, right? Many students like it.
“My mom reads my diaries sometimes. I think she will be afraid if I tell her she is doing something against the law.” said Luo Jia, 13, at Shanghai Fuxing Junior School.
