【推荐2】Tips for avoiding traffic jams:
The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam, you'll be prepared and can try another route.
Take the road less traveled. Although highways may be the most direct route, back (偏僻的) roads can be much less crowded, which can save you from the frustration of the stop-and-go traffic.
Rush hour isn't just a lovely nickname. It means the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours, but they're still called "rush hour" for a reason - everyone's on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather - if you don't have to go anywhere, stay off the roads.
Tips for those unavoidable traffic jams:
Don't break the law. You've gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders（紧急停车道）． Don't behave like them. Not only is this illegal, but also there's a good   chance they'll get caught or cause even more problems.
Pay extra attention to zig-zaggers (Z字形行进者). When some people are anxious, they may start changing lanes（车道）every 5 seconds or cut you off, Keep checking your windows and mirrors. for these lane changers.
Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely, do it. Use a GPS unit, and you can change your route mid-trip if needed.

【推荐3】As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

【推荐3】To most of us, home is the safest and warmest place in the world. But seventh graders at Zhenhai Jiaochuan Academy of Ningbo are trying to find out ways to escape their homes as quickly as possible in case of an emergency（紧急情况）.

Teachers asked students to draw emergency evacuation（撤离）maps of their homes to learn about how to escape in the event of a fire.

The project meant a lot to Shen Yechen. When he was younger, the 13-year-old once played with fire and almost burned his family’s house down. Since then, the possibility of another fire has always been on his mind. By drawing the map, he said he was able to overcome（克服）his fear.

On his map, Shen marked possible sources（来源）of fire at home, including the fridge, the computer and bookshelves. He said these areas should be avoided in the event of a fire.

While most students only mapped out one evacuation route（路线）, Yan Junxiao, 13, made three. Yan and his parents live on the third floor of their building. At first, he thought his family could only escape by going down the stairs. But later, he was inspired by the way his family washes the clothes. Usually, Yan’s family hangs clothes on their balcony（阳台）. Sometimes their clothes fall to the second floor because of the wind. Instead of walking down the stairs, Yan’s father sometimes climbs down outdoor air-conditioner units to get the clothes.

“Even if there is a real fire, I won’t be afraid with so many ways to evacuate” said Yan.

【推荐3】Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.ZXXK]
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70­-year­-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races，and that one day I would be one of those 70­year­olds who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.
