1. (2022七下·庐江期中) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

It's important for children to get to school safely every day. For them, there is a new program（项目）called "Free Home to School Transport". It gives children free bus rides to school. But to have the free trip, people in the program have to think about how old they are, what school they go to and where the children live. Children can have the free trip if:

*They are between 5 and 16 years old;

*They go to the nearest school;

*They walk farther than the statutory distance（比法定距离远）: 2 miles for students under 8; 3 miles for students aged above 8.

Children can also take the free transport if they have problems in walking or there is no safe way for them. A safe way usually has a crossing with the traffic lights.

There are also free home to school travel policies for poor children. You can find out more on the Internet and see if your children are qualified（符合条件）.
