Boys and girls,

Attention, please! Do you know  (1)  to keep safe in our daily（日常的）life? Today I’d like   (2)  you some ways to keep safe.

(1)Always play in a  (3)  place. A park is a safe place   (4)   there are no cars or buses in it.

(2)   (5)  the traffic rules, please! Before crossing a road,   (6)  and look both ways ——look left, look right and look left   (7)  .

(3)Never put your head or hands out of a car, a bus   (8)   a train. Many people get hurt or lose their   (9)  by doing so.

(4)Don’t    (10)   a stranger（陌生人）or go with him/her.

That’s all. All the students should obey the rules anytime(任何时候).

Because of President Trumpˈs decision to remove America from the Paris Climate agreement, youˈd be forgiven for feeling a little negative about the future of the planet.

With reports of huge cracks (裂缝) appearing in the Antarctic ice, fears that   (1)   the two degree heating of the planet might be a dream. And the worldˈs food supplies at risk --- everything   (2)  and sounds gray.

  (3)  , there are also some good news stories; with many of them coming from China.

The country has been   (4)  the way when it comes to "green living" in recent years, with the government announcing it had completed building the worldˈs   (5)   floating solar farm.

Now, in   (6)  to control the production of bad gasses, the country is continuing to work hard (so to speak) for the construction of one of the worldˈs first "forest cities".

Designed by Stefano Boeri, who you might remember also   (7)  two special “forests”. The city is now   (8)   construction in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province.

It is reported that once completed, the new city will host 30, 000 people and---thanks to the trees and plants---will (9) almost 10, 000 tons of CO2, 57 tons of pollutants (污染物) per year and produce nearly 900 tons of oxygen every year.

The city will achieve   (9)   thanks to about a million plants from over 100 species (物种). As well as 40,000 trees are being planted over almost every surface imaginable.

Dear school 'kids' parents,

    We are happy that you are spending the time talking to your children 0bout the importance of school safety. The school bus is one of the safest forms of transportation(交通运输), but every year children are injured in school bus accidents all around the world.

    Education is the key to prevention(预防). During National School Bus Week each October, we organize an event called "Operation Safety Stop". We need your help to tell the children about the basic school bus rules. Please take some time to talk to your children about the following school bus safety rules:

    ○Be on time.

    ○Never run to or from the bus.

    ○Don't push or shove(乱堆) on the bus.

    ○Stay in your seat on the school bus.

    ○Don't shout or speak loudly on the bus.

    ○Always obey(服从) the driver.

    ○Always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus.

    ○Never crawl(爬行) under a school bus.

Dear Clark,

How are you? I’m happy to know your daily life(日常生活). Now let me tell you something about my daily life. From Monday to Friday, my day starts at 6:30. Then I brush my teeth. After that I run for thirty minutes. At 7:30, I have breakfast. Then I take the school bus to school. My class starts at 8:20 and finishes at 5:30. And I like having classes and my favorite subject is math. Most students think it’s difficult but I don’t think so. It’s interesting and easy for me. At 5:45, I go back home and then I play tennis with my friends for about one hour. At 7:00, I have dinner with my parents. After dinner, I watch TV.

On weekends, my life is kind of different (不同的), because I don’t go to school. In the morning, I get up at 8:00 and I have breakfast at 8:30. Then I can go shopping or go to the park with my friends or my parents. Sometimes I am at home and clean my room. I love my life.Yours,

Laura

Dear Dad and Mom,

How are you? Iˈm happy here, but I miss you very much. Itˈs Sunday today. I donˈt have classes. I am writing an e-mail to you in the computer room now. There are lots of students here. Some students are talking with their friends on QQ. Some students are playing computer games. Some students are watching movies on computers. My new friends Peter and Bill are here with me. Peter is buying a T-shirt on the Internet.And what is Bill doing? Oh, he is reading a book on the computer. They often help me with my study and life. When you come to Shanghai, I want you to meet them.

Iˈm OK in Shanghai.Please donˈt worry(担心) about me.I hope you are happy and well.

Love,

Jenny
