8 . It is very important for children to get to school safely and on time every day. Luckily for them, there is a new program called Free Home-to-School Transport. It gives children free rides to school. But to enjoy the free trip, children have to be qualified (符合资格). It usually depends on where the children live, which school they are going to and how old they are.
Children can take free home-to-school transport if they:
are between 5 and 16 years old
are going to the nearest school
live farther away from school than the statutory(法定的) walking distances(2 miles for students under 8, and 3 miles for those aged above 8)
No matter (无论) how far away children live from school, they can take the free transport if they have walking problems or there is no safe road for them. A safe road usually has traffic lights and should be clean.
Also, there are still free home-to-school travel policies for children in poor families and children with special educational needs. You can find out more on the Internet and see if your children are qualified.

All around the world, people drink tea. But in different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China, for example, people always serve (提供) the tea when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in teahouses. They like to drink plain tea (素茶) best.
Tea is very important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called the “tea ceremony (仪式)”. It is very old and full of meaning. People do everything in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea drinking country is England, and the late afternoon is people’s “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The British usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, chocolate and a few candies at teatime.
In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. It is fast and easy to use tea bags to make tea. In summer, many Americans drink “iced tea”.
