1 . Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats (儿童座椅).
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure your children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.

2 . Sixteen is the age in the United States when teenagers can begin driving. It's a special age. There's often a special celebration for a girl's 16th birthday-a big party called her "sweet 16". It is like a wedding reception（结婚晚宴）.
About a month before the party, the girl's family sends out invitations to the guests. They must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests find good dresses to wear. A "sweet 16"present usually costs $40 to $60. This is about $20 more than the usual cost of a birthday present.
The party itself is not held at someone's house. The hostess rents a reception hall or the event. Food, cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6 o'clock, guests arrive and agree the birthday girl. Then the girl and her father have a special father-daughter dance. After that, guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then there is the most important part of the "sweet 16"party, the candle-lighting ceremony. The "sweet 16"hostess stands behind 16 unlit candles, and gives each candle to her friends, family, and anything that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging goes on at this time.
At a later time, people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o'clock. This school year, I have been to two "sweet 16". I am one of the youngest students in my grade (My birthday is in February). I'll have to wait another year before I can have my own special "sweet 16" party. I can't wait for it!

3 . We each have a memory. That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do it again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

| A．if you have a lot of good food | B．if you do more and more exercises |
| C．if you do morning exercises every day | D．if you get up early |
4 . Steve Hawking died on March 14th, 2018. What were you doing when you heard of his death? We asked some people and here were their answers.
Dave: I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep anymore. So I turned on my computer and surfed the Internet. On the Internet, I knew the news. I was really shocked.
Sally: I came back from the supermarket, ate supper and then checked my Facebook. I saw someone post（公布）the news that Steve Hawking died. I did a quick search on the Internet to confirm it. A few minutes later I knew it was true.
Leo: I was playing the guitar when I got a text message from my friend. It simply said "Steve Hawking died". I put my guitar down and then googled it to see whether my friend was kidding. The results showed that what he said was true.
Alice: Normally I don't have my TV on before I go to work, but on that day I did. Maybe I got up earlier than usual so I had some extra time to watch TV. The morning news reported that Steve Hawking died.

Once I went to the post office to buy some magazines. When I was ready to leave, someone came nearer to me. I looked up and saw him old and thin, with a dirty coat on. I could see easily that he was a worker. I stood a little farther from him. I was in my new red coat.
He said he wanted to send some money home, but he didn't know how to fill out the form. He asked me for help. "But you can ask the cashier（出纳员）on duty," I said to him.
"I have asked her. But I still don't understand what she told me. Would you please help me?" Just then, my mobile phone rang. It was an excuse to refuse him. Hopelessly and sadly, he gave up asking for me and tried to find someone else who would help him.
As I came out, I became nervous. How could I refuse someone who was in need of help, especially such an old worker? Was it because he was poor and dirty?
I want to say sorry to him in this newspaper. It's been on my mind for a long time. And I hope to feel better by doing this.
Yours,
Li Fang
