Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives．We do it every day to get to work．to school or to friends’ houses．
Driving can be very convenient(方便的), but can also cause many problems．Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it．If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident．Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else．Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient．
Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide．In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day．The annual death rate(年死亡率)from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan．
To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules．Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws．That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!

How hard we have all prayed(祈祷)to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the pappy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have．
At last, you have grown up．At least you are no longer a child．They call you ‘young lady’．You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady．You are proud of being a grown-up teenager．People welcome you－this young lady heartily．You are glad that your prayer has been answered．

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door．“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?” “If you must want to know, I make ＄20 an hour．” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down．He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me ＄10?” The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish，then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish(自私的)!” The little boy quietly went to his room with tears on his face and shut the door．After about an hour or so, the father calmed(平静)down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often．” So he went to the little boy’s room．“Sorry!

Every morning, the newspaper chief editor(主编)holds a meeting with the reporters．They discuss the main events(事件)of the day．Reporters are then sent to cover the events．
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work．They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them．Sometimes they do telephone interviews．Checking information is very important．They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need．This is called “doing one’s homework”．
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper．All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast．Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one．They must find out the new information as quickly as possible．Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk．Reporters return, type(打字)their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor．
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page．Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day．Other word editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes．
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷)the newspaper has come．This is done on fast-moving printing(印刷)machines．The newspapers are then delivered(发送)by truck(卡车), plane or rail(铁路)．Speed is important．People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s．

In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person．Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal－dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals．Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives．Some people think of their pets as their children．A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too．Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person．Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too．Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits”．
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May．Pet shows are held during the week．Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this, too．How? First, think about how animals make your life richer．If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it．Remember to give it delicious food．Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies．
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you．For example, if you see a dog on the street, don’t kick it or throw things at it．Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it．If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them．As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves．
