Every year，hundreds of children are killed or injured trying to get to and from their school．Many are subjected to unnecessary hazards(碰巧)by inconsiderate(淡漠的)parents who stop their cars outside school entrances to set down or pick up passengers．
School keep clear markings
In an attempt to ensure that children can cross the road to and from their school safely，SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR markings are placed on the road surface outside the school entrance．These markings not only highlight the school entrance to other road users，but also indicate an area that should be kept clear of stationary vehicles．This allows approaching drivers to see a child standing on the pavement waiting to cross and it also allows the child to see the approaching traffic．Parking or stopping in these designated(指定的)areas is potentially dangerous．
How can you help?
·Give yourself plenty of time to get to school．
·If there is congestion(交通拥挤)near the school，park a little further away and walk．
·Do not stop or park on SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR markings，even to set down or pick up passengers．
·Avoid(避免)parking on the opposite side of the road to these markings．
·Do not reverse(倒车)your car into school entrances in order to turn around．
·Do not double park outside schools．
School entrances should be kept clear by drivers．Inconsiderate parking could prove very dangerous for children．

阅读理解
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
