New traffic laws (交通法) say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.

The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians(行人. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.

There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.

Do you ride a bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane (车道) when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.

Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet (头盔), ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.

Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt (安全带), even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.

If you see a hit-and-run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you a reward (奖赏). And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.

Rudy Saldia is a 25-year-old postman from America. Every day he rides to deliver parcels (投递包裹) across his hometown of Philadelphia with his six-month-old cat called MJ always sitting on his shoulders.

MJ, short for Mary Jane, is different from other cats. She was born in a drawer in Rudy’s bedroom on April Fool’s day. When she got older, Rudy noticed that her favorite place to rest was his shoulders (肩膀), so he decided to teach her to work with him.

“The first day we crossed one block. The next day we tried two blocks and now we can ride about 25 miles every day. MJ enjoys moving around on my shoulders,” Rudy said.

However, Rudy hopes to be able to ride 100 miles with MJ in the coming day. “People are always surprised and excited to watch us. I often hear someone shout, Oh, my God, he has a cat on his shoulder! How lovely that is!’ MJ is so comfortable on my shoulder and she never hurts me with her claws. We always get on well with each other and have a great time during the work.”Rudy smiled.

MJ loves noisy streets of Philadelphia, the only problem is that she is afraid of the siren (警笛声). However, her owner Rudy is always there for her. One day, if you go to Philadelphia and see a postman with a cat on his shoulder, don’t be surprised!

A young man went to a car shop. He was wearing rubber boots(橡胶靴子) and a dirty jacket. He needed a haircut(理发) very much. The young man looked at an expensive car carefully and then asked the shop owner, “How much is this car?” “Nine thousand two hundred and eighteen,” the owner answered. “I want sixteen of them,” the young man said. The shop owner smiled                    coldly. He showed the door to the young man.

In another shop on the other side of the street, the business was   done(生意做成了). The young man took money out of his pocket and paid for the cars. He said the cars were for himself and his friends. Each of them wanted to get one. He said that he and his friends were working on a fishing boat. “We have got much money this season,” the young man said, “and we want to buy cars. ”
