【推荐2】Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason’s school. All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety, which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said:

“Most traffic accidents are because of the drivers’ carelessness. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too fast. This means that it is difficult for them to stop quickly. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk.”

“It’s not only drivers to cause accidents, however, people on foot-pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.”

“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should make sure there aren’t any cars or trucks behind you. You should not turn until the street is clear.”

Chores were not popular at my house. My children didn’t like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them.

A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”. It is really great. Here’s how the game works.

I make a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family rolls the dice (骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If you are lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.

【推荐1】“Why are they the top students in my class?” “Do they have any secrets?” You may wonder. The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can easily learn. According to the education experts and students themselves, here are the secrets of top students.

Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; Business comes before everything.

Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.

Get organized. Don’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer is needed to put things in to save time.

Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.

Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. “If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time.” says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School.

Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That’s what you find in your notes.

Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents’ help is important.

1. If we want to save time for study, we had better          .

A．keep everything in hand	B．get everything organized
C．prepare for our school things	D．organize ourselves into groups

2. In the writer’s opinion, an active reader should          .

A．arrange time well	B．learn reading skills
C．take good notes	D．ask questions continually

3. According to the passage, which is NOT the secret of the top students?

A．Manage your time well.	B．Parents' help is unnecessary.
C．Study comes before everything.	D．Write down what the teacher emphasized and try to use them.

4. In this passage, the writer talks about           secrets of top students.

A．five

B．six

C．seven

D．eight

5. According to the writer, the real secret in becoming a top student is          .

A．some learning experience	B．the good teachers

【推荐3】One day in autumn, Squire Gordon went on a long journey with John, and I pulled the cart(马车). The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily until we came to the old wooden bridge. The man at the tollgate(收费处) told us the river was rising fast. “There’s going to be a bad storm tonight,” he said.

Thirty minutes later, we arrived in the town, but the Squire’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was blowing, making a terrible sound. I was making the way in the strong wind. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and a huge tree fell across the road in front of us. I stopped still. “We must go back to the crossroads,” said John, “and drive to the wooden bridge.”

When we got there, it was nearly dark. As soon as my feet touched the bridge, I knew there’s something wrong. I stopped dead. “Go on, Beauty,” the Squire ordered. “But there’s something wrong, sir,” said John. He got out and tried to lead me forward. But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man at the tollgate saw us, “Hey, there! Stop!” he cried. “The bridge is broken in the middle. If you move on, you are all going to drown in the river.”

We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time, no one said anything. Then the Squire said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” When we returned home, he told Mrs. Gordon, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”

That night, I had good food to eat and a comfortable bed of straw(稻草). And I was glad, though I was very tired.
