Like
underground
systems
all
round
the
world,
there
are
two
main
rules
on
the
London
Underground:
Please
mind
the
gap
and
please
give
up
your
seat
to
a
person
carrying
a
child
or
heavy
luggage.
But
London’s
150-year-old
underground
system
is
a
little
bit
different
____1____
there
are
also
another
two
rules:
Never
look
at
others
and
don’t
get
too
close
to
the
other
passengers.
If
you
do
any
of
these
things,
you
will
break
____2____,
and
the
whole
carriage(车厢)will
look
at
in
an
unfriendly
way.
On
the
London
Underground,
people
do
not
talk
to
one
another,
nor
look
at
one
another.
If
they
have
to
look
at
each
other,
they
will
____3___
faster
than
you
can
say
sorry.
Passengers
usually
keep
some
distance
away
from
the
others.
In
crowded
carriages
people
will
stand
near
the
door
at
station
stops,
so
the
carriage
looks
full
when
actually
there
is
plenty
of
___4____.
There
is
no
pushing
yourself
in
as
Beijing
subway
passengers
do.
The
biggest
problem
comes
with
getting
a
seat,
and
some
people
in
England
even
explain
how
to
get
a
seat
on
the
Internet.
If
you
are
lucky
enough
to
find
yourself
sitting
in
one
of
the
few
seats
____5____
wants,
you
will
catch
the
attention
of
the
whole
carriage,
so
you
can’t
win.
Sometimes
the
train
driver
will
make
a
joke
over
the
loud
speaker,
saying
something
like,
“How
is
everyone
getting
on
in
there?”
A
few
people
will
smile
and
realize
that
how
strange
the
Underground
environment
is.
____6____,
it
will
be
back
to
the
basic
rules
as
soon
as
this
moment
passes:
No
eye
contact,
no
touching,
no
getting
into
personal
space
and
no
standing
on
the
left.

Piggy
banks(储蓄罐)
are
used
to
teach
children
how
to
save
and
spend
their
money
wisely.
They
have
to
have
very
good
reasons
1
breaking
them
to
spend
the
money.
But
why
are
they
called
“piggy”banks
instead
of
“dog”
banks?
There
are
several
reasons.
First,
piggy
banks
look
like
pigs.
2
,
in
the
past,
a
type
of
clay(黏土)
used
for
making
household
objects
was
called
pygg.
People
would
often
3
money
in
pots
made
of
pygg.
In
the
18th
century,
the
spelling
“pygg”
was
changed
to“pig”.
There
is
another
reason
for
the
name.
As
a
farmer
feeds
food
to
his
pig,
a
child
puts
his
coins
into
his
piggy
bank.
The
farmer
can’t
get
back
the
money
he
spends
on
his
pig
4
he
kills
it
and
sells
its
meat.
A
child
has
to
break
the
piggy
bank
if
he
wants
to
get
his
money
out.
Most
piggy
banks
are
5
to
be
held
in
the
hand.
However,
large
ones
have
been
made,
and
some
are
as
6
as
three
feet!
Today,
many
piggy
banks
have
a
cap
on
the
bottom.
Children
can
remove
it
to
take
money

Water
is
needed
every
day.
But
by
using
water
wisely,
you
can
save
1
water
as
well
as
money
on
your
water
bills.
Here
are
some
tips
for
saving
water
outdoors,
when
watering
and
planting,
and
indoors
in
the
bathroom
and
kitchen.
When
you
water
your
garden,
do
not
over-water(浇水过多)it.Too
much
water
is
bad
for
the
2
.
Remember:
do
not
water
on
windy
days,
and
of
course,
not
on
rainy
days.
Choose
native
drought-resistant(抗旱的)
plants.
These
plants
use
3
water.
Then
place
the
plants
4
their
water
needs.
Put
those
that
need
watering
in
one
zone(区域)
and
those
that
only
need
natural
rainfall
in
another
zone.
In
this
way,
you
will
not
waste
water
on
plants
that
do
not
need
it.
In
your
5
,
the
bathroom
and
the
kitchen
are
the
two
places
where
about
83%
of
the
water
is
used
inside
the
home.
In
order
to
save
more
water,
you
should
take
a
five-minute
shower,
rather
than
a
bath.
Turn
the
tap
off
6
brushing
your
teeth
or
washing
your
face.
Use
a
low-flow
showerhead
instead
of
your
old
one.
Do
not
flush(冲)
rubbish
in
the
toilet.
Use
a
wastebasket
instead.
Fill
the
basin
with
water
to
wash
fruits
and
vegetables.
7
a
water
saving
washing
machine.
Wash
only
full
loads
in
the
washing
machine.
It
may
be
difficult
for
you
to
change
some
of
your
washing
habit.
But
it
is
a
matter
of
everybody’s
responsibility.

The
world
is
now
using
10
times
as
much
water
as
it
did
100
years
ago.
Scientists
say
that
by
2020
water
shortage(短缺)
will
be
a
serious
world
problem.
Clean
water
is
precious
and
it’s
time
for
all
of
us
to
learn
to
save
it!
FACT
People
use
more
water
in
the
bathroom
than
any
other
place
at
home.
ACTION
1
the
water
when
you
brush
your
teeth.
Keep
your
showers
2
as
a
shower
uses
10
to
20
liters
of
water
a
minute.
This
way
you’ll
save
thousands
of
liters
of
water
a
year,
and
reduce
your
water
bill
FACT
A
dripping
tap
can
waste
7,
600
liters
of
water
a
year.
A
leaky(漏水的)
toilet
can
waste
3
260
liters
of
water
a
day.
ACTION

your
water
meter(水表)
at

First,
turn
off
all
taps
and
water-using
appliances,
read
the
meter,
then
wait
30
minutes
and
read
it
again.
If
the
dial(刻度盘)
has
moved,
there
may
be
something

with
the

pipes.
Repair
them
as
soon
as
possible.

Electricity
keeps
us
warm
in
winter,
cool
in
summer,
cooks
our
food,
heats
our
water,
cleans
our
clothes
and
powers
our
TVs,
radios,
video
games
and
computers.
Electricity
makes
wonderful
things
1
.
Electricity
can
travel
2
through
our
bodies.
Do
you
know
why?
Because
electricity
moves
quickly
through
water
and
the
human
body
is
70
percent
water!
Electricity
can
be
very
dangerous.
What
will
happen
3
you
get
shocked?
You
will
find
it
hard
to
breathe,
your
4
will
stop
beating
and
you
will
get
burns
and
even
5
!
As
electricity
travels
at
the
speed
of
light,
it’s
almost
impossible
for
you
to
get
rid
of
it
if
you
really
get
shocked.
And,
you
should
6
try
to
touch
anyone
who’s
been
shocked
with
your
hands,
because
you
can
become
part
of
the
circuit
as
well!
It
sounds
terrible,
and
it
is,
but
if
you
remember
the
7
rules,
you
can
always
use
electricity
safely:
●
Never
touch
an
electric
appliance
if
you
are
stan

water
or
if

●
Never
touch

Once
my
father
and
I
went
to
see
a
circus(马戏团).
A
family
was
standing
in
front
of
us
1
for
ticket.
The
family
had
eight
children.
Their
clothes
were
not
2
but
they
were
clean.
They
were
talking
about
the
clowns
and
elephants
excitedly.
I
want
3
tickets,
eight
for
children
and
two
for
adults,
said
the
father
to
the
ticket
lady.
The
ticket
lady
told
him
the
4
.
When
he
heard
that,
the
man
couldn’t
believe
his
ears.
He
asked
again,
“How
much?”
The
ticket
lady
spoke
again.
The
father
looked
sad.
Clearly,
he
didn’t
have
5
money.
My
dad
took
a
$20
bill
and
dropped
it
on
the
ground.
Then
he
6
the
bill
and
said
to
the
man,
“Sir,
this
fell
out
of
your
pocket.”
The
man
knew
what
was
going
on.
He
looked
into
my
dads’
eyes
and
:
took
the
bill.
“Thank
you,
thank
you,
sir.
This
7
means
a
lot
to
me
and
my
family.”
We
didn’t
go
to
the
circus
that
night,
but
we
didn’t
feel
sorry
for
it
at
all.

Peggy

one
day
in

“I’ll

jumped
down
