Every year some people are killed or injured in road accidents.There are rules to 1the roads safe, but 2people do not always obey(遵守)the rules.They are 3.If everybody obeys the rules,the roads will be 4.How can we make the roads safe?Remember this rule:traffic must keep to the right.Cars,buses and bikes must 5keep to the right side of the road.Before 6the road,stop and look 7.
Then,if you are sure that 8is clear,it is safe to cross the road.If you see small children, very old people,or blind people waiting to cross the road,it is 9to help them cross the road safely.
We must teach children to cross the road safely.We must tell them 10on the street.We must always give them a good example.
Recently,many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping through the Internet.They are very interested in it.Why is it becoming more and more popular now?There are some reasons.First,more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet.So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet.Second,shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time.Third,they don't need to go to the shops themselves.Because of these good facts,few people refuse it.
On the other hand,some people don't like this new way of shopping.They are worried about the safety of shopping online.Customers(顾客)can only see the pictures of a product on the Internet.And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping center.These are the reasons why they do not like it.
But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.
In a cold winter,a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产).The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife.So she thought,“He doesn't love me any more;he just thinks about his work.”
One day,she wanted to take a shower,but her husband stopped her at the door.“Let me take it first,OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked.“I'm tired,dear.You take it later,OK?” She was very sad.
On a rainy day,she found nothing to do and turned on his computer.After a few minutes,her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:
Today,I was quite sad.She asked me why I was always taking the shower first,and I said I was tired.She was unhappy.I wasn't as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold.I found that if one person took the shower first,the bathroom could get a little warmer.So I always rushed to the bathroom first.When she took the shower,the bathroom could get warmer,at least 1℃.I can't give her more,but at least I can give her 1℃ love.
When you're a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to...”,someone answers“No, you can't.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying(窥视的) eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I'm going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They ③ give us more freedom.Young people further complain that their parents do not respect(尊重) them. When something goes wrong,more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids ① (choose) for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat(对待) you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to ② (make). They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so.
So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. 尝试一种更友好的方式。If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say, “All the other kids ④ stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they ⑤ just say “yes” .
①alet, permit
②ma wrong opinion, idea or act
Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late.
Tell themabout what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late.
③ ④ ⑤
for example, keep...away from, be allowed, stay up, part-time |
