4 . Do you know what to do when there is an emergency? By calling the police, you can protect yourself and those around you.
Call the police in all of the following emergencies:
◆ A crime, such as a theft, especially if it is still in progress.
◆ A car accident, especially if someone is injured.
◆ Domestic violence, such as a child being mistreated.
◆ Anything else that seems like an emergency.
You may also call the police when you see something suspicious(可疑的)in your neighborhood:
◆ Someone you don’t know is frequently walking around in your neighborhood. This could be a sign that the person is trying to break into a house.
◆ Someone is trying to open the doors of a car. This could be a sign that the person is trying to steal the car.
When you see something suspicious, do not suppose someone else has already called the police. People often hesitate to call the police for fear of danger. However, the police want to help prevent crime.
What should you do when you call the police?
◆ Dial 911 (the U.S. emergency number; the number varies from one country to another—in China, you dial 110 to call the police). Stay calm when calling and give your name, address and phone number. Then, tell the person why you are calling (What happened? Where did it happen? When did it happen? Is it still in progress?). Follow any instructions you are given. For example, the dispatcher (调度员) might say, “Stay on the line,” or “Leave the building.”
◆ If you dial the emergency number by mistake.do not hang up. Doing so could make the dispatcher think an emergency really exists. Instead,just tell the person that you called by mistake.
Most police departments have a communication center. The communication center staff reach police officers by radio. Police officers carry headsets. like earphones, to stay in touch with the communication center.

5 . It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee. While waiting for my drink, I saw many people playing computer games.
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I am Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time playing a computer game—a war game. I was surprised.
Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek (电脑迷), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction. I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, “Leave me alone.” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve. I wouldn’t want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I didn’t even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

9 . The 2022 World Internet Conference closed on November 11, 2022 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province. There were a lot of cool inventions shown there. Let’s have a look at some of them.
A Smart Helmet
When delivery people send food around, they often use their mobile phones while riding. It’s very dangerous. To make them safer, a company has created a new helmet.

Delivery people can also take orders and answer messages by talking to the helmet. If the wearer has an accident, the helmet can make a call for help right away.
