    Traffic rules help to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people  1 .

    The pedestrian(行人) has as many rules to  2 as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk(人行道) or at the side of the road. Always look 3  before you walk across the street.

    If you like riding a bike, don't ride in the middle of the road or run  4 red traffic lights. When you ride a bike with a friend, don't look around or talk.

Some Advice on Travel

★Forget fashion(时尚)! Always wear your most comfortable clothes when going on long journeys(旅行).

★Traveling on trains and buses can be boring, so take a good book to read.

★If you're going somewhere cold, remember to put on your warm clothes!

★If you are going somewhere sunny, remember to bring your sun-block(防晒霜) and sunglasses.

★Always take a camera with you to capture those special moments.

★Be careful with your things whenever you go to a busy place, like a train station. There are many thieves there!

★Most countries have lower prices for students, so if you are a student, take your student card with you.

★Always leave room in your bag and buy presents on the way home.

★Bus tours often stop at expensive shops along the way, save your money by buying presents at local shops.

★If you travel abroad(国外), remember to take your passport. Whatever you do, don't lose it!

    Mr. Hunt came from a poor family. He had three brothers and two sisters. His father worked hard but wasn't paid much. And his mother did all the housework at home. They were both able but they couldn't get enough money for their family.

Mr. Hunt was in school for only three years and he had to stop to help his parents though he was good at his lessons. When he was sixteen, he came to the city and began to work in a small factory. He learned from an old worker and became a skilled worker. The old worker liked him and married his daughter to him. The young man did not have his own house and had to live with his parents-in-law(岳父母). His mother-in-law always thought he was poor and often chattered(唠叨). So the young man tried to save everything and hoped to have his own house.

    It was one fine Sunday. The old woman wanted to have a picnic on the top of the hill. She told Mr. Hunt to drive her car. But sometimes she told him to turn left and sometimes to turn right. The young man had to listen to her. At a crossing the lights were red but she made him turn left. The policeman stopped them and told the young man to give his license to him.

    "If I did wrong, sir," said Mr. Hunt, "It was my mother-in-law's fault(过错). She was driving the car though she sat behind me!"

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because the airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off which is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually good in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way, though it takes a little more time.

    I also like cars. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
