Make sure you walk between your children and traffic, and hold their hands all the time.
When your children are a little older, you can start to tell them the importance of traffic knowledge. Let them start to understand the reasons why they need to be so careful. Talk with them about road signs and traffic rules.
Ask your children to play in a safe place. Never let them ride bikes on the road without an adult present at rush hours.
The most important thing that you can do is to keep your children from getting hurt, so you should encourage them to follow traffic rules. After knowing about traffic rules, they’ll volunteer to obey them. In this way, they’ll be careful enough to keep themselves away from danger.

Passage 2
What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It’s important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways(楼梯) and fire escapes, but not elevators.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may get into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall(缓冲、减弱).
What ways can be used when escaping from a fire？

How will you escape from a fire if you live in the lower floors of the buildings?

Passage 3
The haze(雾霾) season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “smog”. The word “smog” is from the words “smoke” and “fog”.
Smog will do great harm to your health, especially to your lungs(肺). It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.
Don’t do exercise in the open. Exercising in the open makes you breathe deeply, and you will take in the particles(颗粒物) deep into your lungs.
Stay indoors and keep the air clean. If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day.
Wear a mask. Paper and cotton masks can’t help you in haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from taking in the particles in the air.
Change your diet. Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs. So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruits every day. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat and keep a balanced diet.
What problems will smog cause to our health?

An earthquake is dangerous, but there are still things you can do to protect yourself. Earthquakes usually come without warning. What should you do if this happens?
Stay calm as the earth begins to shake. Your chances of survival in an earthquake go up if you can keep calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.
If you are inside when the earthquake starts, get under a table or a bed. You need to have something strong around you to protect you from falling objects. Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.
If you are outside, get to an open area as fast as you can. Stay away from buildings and trees. If you are in a car, pull over to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves that can really harm the people nearby.
When the earthquake is over, there are still plenty of dangers. For example, gas fire often comes with an earthquake. If you see a fire, quickly move outdoors to an open area. Remember to always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Knowing how to stay safe at home is just as important as knowing the family rules. Again, this is something you need to talk with your mom, dad or both of them. Go over safety rules for the kitchen if you’ll be doing any cooking while you’re at home alone. It’s a good idea to practice what you should do in a real emergency(紧急事件), just in case something ever happens.
Kids who are at home alone might worry that someone would break into the house and hurt them. The good news is that this is very impossible. But keeping the doors and windows locked will help you stay safer.
Talk with your mom or dad what to do if the phone rings or if someone knocks at the door. It’s never a good idea to tell someone that you’re at home by yourself. And when you get home and find the door is open or a window is broken, don’t go inside. Instead, go to a neighbor you trust and ask for help.
Other kinds of emergencies could come up, too, like a fire, or you or your brother might get sick or hurt. Just in case, you’ll want to know:
? ◆how to dial（拨打）911?
? ◆your address and phone number?
? ◆the name, address and phone number of the place where your mom or dad works?
? ◆the name, phone number and address of a trusted neighbor

Passage 5
Reading makes one wise, but many adults seldom read. They say they are too busy to have time to read. Sure. They have work to do. They have families to support. But these are only excuses. The fact is that they haven’t got a reading habit. A reading habit isn’t something natural. It needs to be trained. And it’s never too late to develop a reading habit.
Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading habit. A book in rich colors and with simple patterns(图案) such as lines and circles is a good choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, they will become interested in simple story books in rich colors.
When children get old enough to read by themselves, it’s necessary to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult are not good for kids to keep their habits.
Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading habit. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly help them develop a reading habit in the end.
Why do many adults seldom read in fact?

Passage 6
（2018吉林）
Alice is a college student and in her internship(实习期)now. Last month, she bought a scarf which she really liked. It cost her more than 50 dollars. It’s not cheap, but it made her happy, because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.
Every morning, when she puts on her new scarf, she feels so happy that it seems the whole day is full of hope. Alice has been used to rewarding (奖励)herself through shopping. This hobby also drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.
But her mother, Mrs. Miller thinks quite differently. When Mrs. Miller knew the price of Alice’s new scarf, they started to argue with each other and the argument(争执)lasted for almost a whole day. Her mother thought that she shouldn’t spend so much money on it, while Alice thought her mother didn’t understand her at all.
But Alice didn’t know that her mother’s life was very hard. When Mrs. Miller was very young, she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. She needed to learn how to spend every penny(便士，货币单位) as if it were two so that she could survive(生存).
It’s just natural that two people can’t understand each other because they have different experiences. Then, how can we change the situation? Try to be patient with the people around you. Try to get to know them. And try to stand in their shoes. If Alice follows the advice, I think she will get on well with her mother.

His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, he came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw a clean nice boy. From then on, he had a new life.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit.
Finally he planted the tree in his woods(树林) where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”

Passage 3
My 10-year-old nephew Tripper came for a visit one hot weekend. And I had to make him stay inside by joining him in a game. An hour later, I suggested having a rest for a while.
“Look！ Alice.” he said happily as he ran over to the chair where I was having a rest. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?” Looking out of a nearby window, I noticed there was no wind at all. “I’m sorry, Tripper.” I said, “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”
“I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly.” he answered, as he hurried out the back door. He ran as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite. After about ten minutes, he came back.
I asked, “How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, not wanting to admit(承认) failure. “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I’ll have to wait for the wind.” At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart, “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted(耗尽) our own strength. We must learn how to make use of “the wind” in the first place!

Passage 1
Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “Maths”. No matter which country you visit, no matter which grade you are in, you always learn Maths. How come so many students hate Maths, and yet cannot avoid learning it at school?
Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning Maths? We can use computers to compute numbers and to store information. I think learning Maths at school is a waste of time.”
However, there is much more to Maths than just learning to compute numbers. In fact, Maths can help students learn to think logically(逻辑地) and solve problems, so it is very important to learn Maths. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do many things, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can’t think logically? In short, computers are only tools in solving problems.
For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide your resources so that you can make it well? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will give you the right answer and solve your problems.

Passage 2
Do you want to know how to stay focused in class? The following suggestions will help you.
Avoid sitting with friends. No matter how much you want to sit with your friends in class, try your best to avoid it. Talking with friends is not going to help you stay focused in class and will cause trouble, too.
Your teacher is not just standing up there talking—they’re trying to give you an acceptable education. Look at the teacher in the eyes. The teacher should have your full attention in class.
Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. Listen to key phrases such as, “This is important.” ,“This is the main idea.” etc. This can help you listen more intently(专心地). You’ll have something to do and focus on.
Getting involved in class discussions is a wonderful way to become a more focused student. When a teacher asks a question, you should offer to answer it. If he or she asks for an opinion, share yours. This shows that you’re listening intently in class.
Ask a question. If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask. This really shows that you want to be better, and you can learn the things you’re having difficulty with.
Should you sit with your friends in class?

Who should have your full attention in class?

Passage 3
China has recently published its first artificial intelligence (人工智能)(AI) textbook for high school students, following a plan by the central government last year to include AI courses in primary and junior high schools.
The textbook, named Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, was written by some famous experts from well-known schools across the country.
“The textbook pays attention to not only basics(基本原理) of AI, also practical use of AI in daily life,” said Chen Yukun, a professor at East China Normal University, who is one of the writers of the book.

What’s more, Li Ming would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8:00 to 9:00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening, Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson, “Lei Lei, this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it, I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together.” Li Lei said, “But I enjoy reading e-books. E-books need no paper. Many forests will be saved.” Grandma advised, “Don’t read for a long time, or your eyes will get sore.”
