If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go, but people on foot mustn’t cross. They can go across the street when the traffic lights are red.
When people go to or come from work in the morning and evening, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then, especially for the children.
When you go by bus in Hong Kong, you have to be careful, too. You must always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you will go the wrong way.

Motuo lies in the south of the Himalayas in Tibet. It is known as the “Natural Museum of Tibet”. It is home to different kinds of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, plants and animals. It’s special location (位置) makes it a beautiful place, but at the same time, one of the hardest places to reach. It was the last county (县) in China without a highway.
The construction (建设) of the highway to Motuo started in the 1960s. However, it was not completed until over 50 years later. In 2013, the Motuo Highway was finally opened. The highway is 117 kilometers long. To make it safer, the two-way highway is open in only one direction every other day. Although it doesn’t seem like a very well-built highway, it is still considered a big project. Why is that?
In this area, earthquakes and heavy rains happen very often. There could be falling rocks or even landslides. People must build many walls and nets to protect the highway. Another challenge is the snow. Large amounts of snow can sometimes destroy forests, rocks and roads. As a result, the construction of the highway to Motuo was stopped several times. To solve this problem, people built a tunnel (隧道) that goes through the snowy mountain area. Finally Motuo is no longer shut off to the world.
The highway is not only a way to connect Motuo to the outside world, but also a great chance for us to see how our country takes care of people in the far mountain areas. At the same time, it teaches us the Chinese spirit of “never giving up”.

Students Hit High Speeds in Self-Driving Car Race
On October 23 last year, the Indy Autonomous Challenge(IAC) was held. Race cars ran around the track(跑道) at high speeds—with no one driving them.The race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is famous for its Indianapolis 500 race. But the Indy Autonomous Challenge(IAC), was quite a bit different from that.
Many big companies are working to develop self-driving cars. These companies have huge teams of highly trained professionals(专业人士). They’ve spent years developing and testing their cars and software. However, that wasn’t true for the nine teams of college students that took part in the IAC.
To keep things fair, each team was given exactly the same kind of car—a Dallara IL-15. It’s a car that’s built like a real race car, but smaller. The teams also got the same tools to help the cars figure out where they were and what was going on.
Instead of a driver, of course, each car had a computer. The challenge was for each team to create a software program that would allow their car to safely race around the track in record time.
It was too hard for the cars to race together. Instead, each car raced by itself, doing several laps(圈). After a few warm-up laps, the cars did two speed laps, as fast as they could go. The teams were judged on the average(平均的) speed of those two speed laps.
TUM Autonomous Motorsport, a team from the Technical Universityof Munich, won the $1 million prize with its two-lap average speed of 135.944 mph(218.78 kph). Race car driver Ricardo Juncos says, “As a driver, I know how challenging it is to drive a race car and how many things you have to think about. It is amazing.”

5. Do you think the race is helpful to the development of self-driving cars? Why or why not?

Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and people could not buy lots of things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and the quality of education was much poorer. Also, it is much easier to find the educational materials that you need on the Internet now.
The scientific and technological development in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier.

It seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These reckless (鲁莽的) behaviors have caught the public’s attention.
In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious (焦急的) customers may be the answer.
Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems (激励制度), noted CRI Online.
Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year.
1. How many traffic accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half of 2017?2. Why do the deliverymen take the risk of their lives to break traffic rules?
3. If you don't receive your order on time, will you complain to the delivery service company? Why or why not?

Do you know how many bones are there in your body? When you were a baby you had about 330 bones, and now you have just over 200 bones. The number reduces because some bones join together as you grow. Your wonderful bones work together to protect you and support your body.
Many Uses
Many bones protect your body. For example, the bone that makes up your head is called the skull. The skull surrounds your brain and protects it. The ribs that cover your chest protect your heart and lungs.
Other bones are used to support the body. The many bones in your feet allow you to walk, and stand on your tiptoes. Your hands and feet have more than half of the bones in your body!
Biggest Bone
The longest and strongest bone in your body is in your leg. It is called the femur and it goes from your hip to your knee. It is a very important bone because it carries all of your weight and helps you move from place to place.
Smallest Bone
Would you believe the smallest bone in your body is in your ear? It is about the size of a grain of rice and is called the stirrup. When sound waves come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth, allowing the sound waves to reach your brain. When the waves reach your brain, you hear the sound.
Funny Bones
Hah! The funny bone isn’t really a bone at all. It is actually a nerve（神经）. When you hit the nerve that is near your elbow, it really hurts or tingles. What’s so funny about that? The funny bone probably got its name from the bone that is above your elbow. That bone is called the humerus, which sounds like the word “humorous”, meaning “funny”.
The bones that make up our bodies help us grow, and allow us to move. When you think about them, our bones are really wonderful.

Feeling shy around your new friends? Playing some icebreaking games can help you get to know each other better. Give it a try!
Describe Yourself
The first player should use one word to describe himself or herself. The first letter of this word should be the same as the first letter in his or her name. Henry, for example, can call himself “Happy Henry”. The next players should say their own name combination (组合) as well as the name combinations of all the players in front of them.
Ten Fingers
Players should hold up all ten fingers. One by one, they can say one fact about themselves. One could possibly say, for example, “I can swim.” The other players who can’t swim should then put down one finger. When a player puts down all ten fingers, he or she loses the game.
Who Am I?
Each player is randomly (随机地) given a card with someone else’s name on it. The card should be taped to the player’s forehead (额头). This way, the player can’t see whose name is written on it. This name becomes his or her new identity (身份). Players can ask others “yes or no” questions about themselves. For example, one may ask, “Do I have long hair?” Players should use the answers to guess who they are.
