            • 1. When trouble comes, what do we usually do? We pick up our mobile phones and call for help. That’s easy, right? But in an emergency, many people are unable to call for help. Floods and earthquakes come suddenly. Wars can hurt or kill. Successful communication can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.Meet French NGO Telecoms Sans Frontiers (Telecommunications Without Borders(边界)). Its goal is to use mobile communication technology to help people in need. TSF began in 1998. First, they opened their main base (总部) in France. Then in 2003, they started another base in Nicaragua. The next year they opened their Thailand base. Now if a disaster hits anywhere in the world, TSF is ready. They can send workers to a disaster area to set up communication systems within 24 hours.Once TSF arrives at a disaster area, they set up telephone connections and Internet service. They share these services with other international helpers on the scene such as the UN or UNICEF. Mobile communication helps other volunteers do their jobs better.TSF also offers three-minute phone calls to local people who need to contact their loved ones. These communications can allow people to get together again after being separated(分开). Often the callers are moved to tears after speaking to a relative found to be still alive. Then the families can decide on a safe course of action for their family members.Since 1998, TSF has helped thousands of people in many countries. Most of the TSF workers does not get paid with money, but the satisfaction of helping others and changing lives is often a great reward.

            • 4. An east China highway pile-up on April 2nd has killed three people and injured 31others.That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day.
              Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated.Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22remain hospitalized,Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo.com.
              The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing.It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo.Images showed dozens of trucks,buses and cars crashed into each other.People were standing on top of the vehicles.
              Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks,three buses and 20cars were involved.Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads.
              What's more,it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles,which delayed the rescue of the injured.
              The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy.
              All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane.Some drivers,however,pay no attention to this rule.Therefore,the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved.
              The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger.The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it.

              Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽车)

              A small car can hold(容纳)four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded(拥挤). A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.

              Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. Their sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases(衣箱)when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into the two seats. Then the van can carry the grandparents.

              Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family is traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.

              Qi Haoran, a Junior Grade One student at a High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter holiday – and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(光盘行动). 
                  These students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat?Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
                  The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. 
                  Chinese people are well-known for being hospitable(好客的)and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
                  Luckily, the campaign has got a lot of support. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers home.
                  To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?
