Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians (行人) safe.
The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt (安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.
Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim (格言) for all road users is “Thinking about others”. It’s important for everyone to follow the traffic rules.

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?

Little libraries of all shapes and size might be found on street corners. Often they are built by community members. They are hoping to share their books with their neighbors.
These Little Free Libraries are like a bookmobile(流动图书馆). Minneapolis Minnesota even held the first Little Free Library Festival.
Little Free Libraries have more in common with book-sharing shelves. Those shelves might be found in coffee shops and other public spaces. Most are based on the idea of “take a book, leave a book”.
The Little Free Library organization began in 2009. Todd Bol, a resident(居民) of Hudson, Wisconsin, built a little model of a one room schoolhouse. He filled it with books. Then he put it in his front yard. Together with a local teacher named Rick Brooks, the two began setting up Little Free Libraries. They built them across the country. According to their website, by 2011 there were at least 400 free libraries.
“Something we need in this digital age (数码时代) is that connection between people. I want to show how Little Free Library is about readers inspiring(激励) readers. It goes on and on.” Bol says.
For anyone interested in making their own Little Free Library at home, the organization has posted some helpful tips and guides for building the little book lending boxes.

Anger is a natural reaction(反应) which comes out when we feel that we have not been treated fairly. The good side of this negative emotion（负面情绪）is that it has helped us to shape and improve our manners. However it will become a problem if we can’t control it. For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health.
We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is out of control, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.
Anger makes us have a lot of negative thoughts. So we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this, you must say ‘No’ to all the negative thoughts in your mind first. This can be done with a lot of practice. When you are successful in that, you have to think only about positive things of life.
Meditation(冥想)is an excellent anger management way. What’s more, what we do is to keep ourselves from the outer world, and just care about the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that can cause anger.
| Definition(定义) | Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when people | |
| Positive sides | Help us develop better manners. | |
| Negative sides | Hurt others. Break your relationships. Being bad for your health. | |
| How to | Get help from others. | Discuss your problems with friends or family |
| Use humor. | It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way. | |

Humans have always been interested in the moon. About 2, 000 years ago, scientists had already known that the moon moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. In old times, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully at night.
When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the moon more closely, they found the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that was caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years ago.
In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again, new ideas were needed for this new study.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something that was about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
Humans’ steps of exploring the moon will never stop. In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we’ll still show an interest in it.

Be pleased to do anything even though it is very tiny. In fact, there’s no single thing that is not worth doing or you are not able to do. You can never know what will happen next day, but you can live a happy life. Living a happy life with a light heart is the most important. A good mood decides your quality of life. Then how can you live a happy life?
Make each day meaningful by helping someone or just making someone smile. The feeling which makes you want to help others stay at the bottom of your heart. Happiness depends on your feelings in your heart. Helping others is helping yourself. By helping others, you’ll be given more. Seeing their satisfied smile will make you feel proud of what you have done.
Face difficulties bravely in your life. Everybody may meet with difficulties. No one can avoid them. The difficulties can teach you a lot. They are your treasure. They will help you to be closer to success.
Focus on the good experiences you have had in the past few years. Be grateful to life. Don’t think too much about the negative things. They are similar to bad weather. Bad weather will pass sooner or later, so will the negative things. You may find many dead ends in your life, but you will always find your way out of them. Everything will get better all last.
Never worry about the things you can’t change. Worrying isn’t useful. Worrying can neither change the situation nor solve the problem. Perhaps, not every dream will be realized; not every effort will he completed. Never mind, and take it easy.
Come on, everybody! One of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones is to let them see you living a happy life. Let’s live a happy life with a light heart and enjoy the beautiful sunshine every day.
1. What decides our quality of life?2. How do we make each day meaningful?
3. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?
