Good afternoon. Welcome to England. We hope that your visit     1     (be) a pleasant one. Today I’d like     2     (tell) you something about a few of our laws (法律).

The first one is about     3     (drink). You may not buy wine (酒) in this country if you are under 18 years old, nor may your     4     (friend) buy it for you.

The     5     (two) one, noise. Enjoy     6     (you), but don’t make unnecessary noise, especially at night. Respect (尊重) other people that may wish you to be quiet.

The third one, crossing the road. Be     7     (care). The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this county. Use the crosswalk and don’t take any chances when     8     (cross) the road.

Finally, smoking. It is against the law to buy cigarettes (香烟) if you are less than 16 years of age. I’d like to finish by     9     (say) that if you need any kind of help, you should get in touch with the police. They will be very glad     10     (help) you.

Now, are there any questions?

【推荐3】Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So in 2007, the city began a plan to improve the s    1    .

Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or a    2     bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t r    3     it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are h    4     (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of t    5     in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations.

Paris is not the f    6     city to have a project like this—not even in France, where Lyon started a “free” bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to t    7     across the city, they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce(减少) air pollution levels in the atmosphere.

Everyone know about global warming and great climate changes—this is partly b    8     there’s so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a much h    9     life. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But if we don’t anything now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to r    10    , so the problems in our environment will get worse.”
