You won't be able to control everything your teens do when they drive, but you can teach them about the importance of vehicle safety.
Locking the door upon entering the vehicle
Did your teens know they should lock the doors immediately upon entering the vehicle? If your teens haven t been taught this, then they probably won’t do so.
Driving a safe vehicle
Avoiding distractions
Looking at phones or controlling the radio while driving could make your teens seriously injured or worse.
You need to show that you’re confident of your teens’ driving skills,even if your teens’ speeding up too fast or hitting the brakes too hard scares you. Instead of yelling and stressing out on such occasions, try your best to speak calmly. They will react much better to quiet comments than cold words.

【推荐3】Knowing what not to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we compiled a list of things you should remember at hotel checkout.
1. Don’t be late to checkout
Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.
2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe
Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.
3. Don’t freak out
Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.
4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借记卡)
Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.
5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab
If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.
1. What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?A.Negotiate a potential price. |
B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation. |
C.Charge extra money. |
D.Give the room to other customers. |
A.Spit at the assistant manager. | B.Argue with the front desk. |
C.Show understanding to the situation. | D.Go much further away from it. |

Government officials suggest that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that tries your patience annually. And the pressure for the railway system is always the greatest. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system regularly falls down.
Much of the criticism has focused on the railway's online purchasing system, which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers (票贩子) from easily getting many of the hard-to-find tickets.
Railway officials believed that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, and told reporters that the public need to be patient. While by now the railway service is far from satisfying, efforts are being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems, and the situation is expected to get better in a few years. Meanwhile, for those traveling by car, good news is that the country's extremely expensive highway tolls (通行费) will be removed for the period of the official holiday.
1. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?
A.Pleasing. | B.Rewarding. |
C.Promising. | D.Discouraging. |
A.is convenient for travelers |
B.costs more money |
C.requires great patience |
D.is just a piece of cake |
A.there will be 3.62 billion people going home |
B.many people have to buy railway tickets from scalpers |
C.the railway system will break down as usual |
D.not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling |
A.Optimistic. | B.Doubtful. |
C.Satisfied. | D.Worried. |
【推荐2】With new advances in AI and autonomous (自动的) driverless cars and trains, it makes sense that buses will become autonomous too. Now a full-sized autonomous bus service is up and running in Scotland.
The buses began running in May, 2023, and are carrying passengers between Ferrytoll Park and the Edinburgh Park. This 14-mile route (行车路线) is the first of its kind in the UK. The autonomous buses are being operated by Stagecoach, the largest coach operator in the UK. While the buses are autonomous, fully self-driving vehicles (交通工具) are not allowed in the UK now so a driver will have to be onboard at all times. The vehicles are required to have a safety driver to monitor the technology and a bus captain that will help passengers board and buy tickets. The driver can take control in case of an emergency situation.
It took almost 10 years of research and development and 1.8 million kilometers of practice runs to reach this stage, which is considered the first full-sized use of autonomous buses in Europe.
This project aims to speed up the application of self-driving technology. The government hopes that the autonomous buses will be more dependable, and more secure to use than traditional buses since 88 percent of road accidents are caused by drivers’ errors.
Other countries in Europe are exploring using driverless buses. There have already been short tests in several cities in Italy, Finland and France, and there are plans for driverless electric minibuses to be introduced in Switzerland, Germany and Norway. An autonomous bus may be just around the corner in a city near you.
1. What do we know about the autonomous bus?A.It is very popular with passengers. |
B.It can only hold very few passengers. |
C.There are two fixed workers on the bus. |
D.It allows passengers to enjoy beautiful views. |
A.Expensive. | B.Pioneering. | C.Fair. | D.Challenging. |
A.Safer. | B.Faster. | C.More modern. | D.More comfortable. |
A.To show they are also interested in driverless buses. |
B.To show they have advanced self-driving technology. |
C.To show people in these countries like driverless buses. |
D.To show buses are popular transport in these countries. |
【推荐3】Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.
Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.
There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information. Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.
Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.
