【推荐3】On June 17, 2023, 16-year-old Cao Chenzhe from Jiangsu gave away 5,000 yuan to the Disabled Persons’ Federation in Jiangsu to help children. The money was for his brave act of using the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法) to save a classmate’s life.

Cao clearly remembered that day. One evening in March, while having dinner at the school canteen, he noticed a classmate’s face turning purple as he tried to breathe. “Oh no, something is stuck in his throat!” Cao quickly realized the problem and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Standing behind his classmate, Cao pressed hard into his chest with upward thrusts (推力). After trying many times, a large rice ball came out of the classmate’s throat.

Cao learned the Heimlich maneuver during a safety education class at Jiangyan Licai Experimental School. “The teacher showed us the process in detail and we practiced with each other,” said Cao. The school organizes safety education classes every month and encourages students to take online courses on the Ministry of Education’s online safety education platform (教育部学校安全教育平台).

Sun Fu, the vice principal of Suzhou Foreign Language School, said that safety education should have different forms such as competitions, and role-playing activities. “The more forms the activities are, the more interested the students will be,” Sun said.

When talking about safety education, Cao hoped students of his age to take it seriously. Every student should learn to protect themselves and others in a scientific way,” he said.

【推荐1】A school was across from my house. I often watched kids playing basketball from my window. One day, I saw a little girl playing basketball with a group of boys. She was very short, but she played so well that no one could stop her. Sometimes, I saw her practice by herself from morning to night.

Another day, I met her in the school and asked her why she practiced so hard. She said, “I want to go to college. The only way is to get a scholarship. If I can play basketball well enough, I can get a scholarship. My father told me if the dream is big enough, the facts are not that important.”

Two years later, I saw the girl siting in the grass with her head down. She seemed upset. She said, “I’m too short. My teacher said I could never play for a top college’s basketball team.” “What does your father say?” I asked. “He disagrees with my teacher. He says the teacher just doesn’t understand the power of a dream. Nothing can stop me if I really want to get something.”

The next year, a recruiter was interested in the girl after he saw her play basketball. She was given a full scholarship to a college. Her dream came true.

【推荐3】You can probably all ride a bike well. I’m an exception(例外）.

I started riding a bike when I was three. It was a tiny toy bike with four wheels. I loved it very much and rode it every day.

When I was 5, my cousin gave me a pink bike. It was a true bicycle with just two wheels. At the time, my parents were too busy to teach me how to ride it. So I had to learn to ride by myself. I practiced hard on weekends and during vacations, although I still didn’t know how to make turns.

One summer vacation, I borrowed an old bike and rode it with my friends on a country road. We sang and practiced our riding skills. Suddenly, a small boy ran into the road. I was shocked and couldn’t control the bike at all. My bike ran into the boy and he fell. He didn’t get very seriously hurt, but his grandma was too angry to accept my apology. My cousin appeared five minutes later and saved me from the mess. But the experience frightened me: no longer dared to ride a bike

Then, last year, free bikes were offered to children. My mother tried to teach me how to ride. But the traffic made me so nervous that I had to ride really slowly. But I’m not going to give up. One day, believe me: you’d see me riding a bike in a big street.

【推荐1】I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters —— other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.

Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a dustbin. I have never felt so empty and lonely in my life.

Early the next morning, a man took me out of a dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many bad smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I can’t believe how thin I became.

I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had bad smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with something.

I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years.

“Why can’t they recycle us?” I cried.

【推荐2】Writing text messages while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more injuries（伤害）to texting walkers than there are to texting drivers. Their report says walking is not as easy as we think. We must focus on（专注）many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk properly, so dangerous things happen to them. They run into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes or downstairs.

A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons why texting makes walking dangerous. One is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they are focusing on their phones instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else—they are not thinking about walking from A to B safely. The professor said over 6，000 people visited his hospital last year because of texting. He said the worst cases are head injuries. When a walker is tossed(抛) into the air he or she has nothing to protect the head. The damage（损害） can be serious.

1. A study has found that         .

A．texting while walking is more dangerous

B．texting while driving is safe for drivers

A．They will walk safely in a straight line.

B．They will run into walls and other people.

C．They will do great harm to the passing cars.

D．They will focus on many things at the same time.

3. How many reasons did a professor give for why texting makes walking difficult?

B．Two.

C．Three.

4. What kinds of injuries did the professor say were worst?

【推荐3】I read books aloud to my middle school students for five minutes in each class. The five minutes are a great gift to my students. Spending this time each day helps students to develop (发展) reading skills, and open hearts.

I look for books that develop students’ understanding for others. Students may walk out of class talking about a book and what will happen next in the story. For example, Wishtree, by Katherine Applegate, tells a beautiful story through the eyes of a tree. After reading it, my students talk about friendship.

I also use picture books because pictures help students to understand texts. Last Stop on Market Street, written by Matt de la Pena and illustrated (加插图) by Christian Robinson, uses wonderful language and pictures to show beauty in our everyday lives.

Reading is fun. By reading, we learn about the world. Reading the stories of others can help us to better understand our own stories. Helping students find a love of reading sets them up for a lifetime of learning.
