Learn how to drive safely in the UK

British roads are the safest in the world一in 2010, only 3. 8 people out of 100, 000 died in road accidents. This number is lower than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way as British people do. This is some advice for visitors who plan to go driving in the UK.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have problems because they forget about this difference.

If there is line of cars, don't try to go past other people to get to the front. This is called "jumping the line". If you do this, other people will get angry with you.

Stop at the traffic lights. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, although there aren't any cars or people around.

Don't use your horn(喇叭)too much. If you do, people will think you are not polite. If another driver flashes(闪光)their lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, then don't try to bribe(贿赂)the police! If you do, you might finish your visit in prison(监狱).

Are you nearsighted (近视的)? Do you wear glasses? Many of you may say “yes”.

In fact, China’s young people have the highest rate (率) of nearsightedness in the world. More than 70 percent of middle school students in China are nearsighted.

In August, a plan to solve this problem was introduced. It aims to cut down the rate of nearsightedness for middle school students to less than 60 percent by 2030. Schools across the country are taking action to meet this goal.

Luoyang Experimental School in Henan started with its desks. It has designed (设计) desks with a board above the desktop (桌面). The board stops students from lowering (降低) their heads too close to their desktops. More than 400 students have used them so far. More students will use them soon. Similarly, the High School Affiliated (附属的) to Renmin University Chaoyang Branch School is now providing desks and chairs according to students’ heights. Studies have shown that proper desk height can prevent (预防) nearsightedness.

Spending more time outside can also reduce (减少) nearsightedness. The Yucai middle School makes sure that its students play outside for at least 80 minutes every day. We have a P.E. class and a 20-minute break in the morning and afternoon to do exercises, "said Sun Zihan, 14.

Staring at screens can also hurt our eyes. Beijing 101 Middle School has a solution to this problem. In its classrooms, there are special boxes for storing students’ cellphones. “We have to hand in our cellphones every morning and get them back after school,” said Huang Jiameng, 15.

In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang(商鞅). He was a statesman (政治家) and worked out many reforms(改革) for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards(报酬) to soldiers who were successful when at war.

But these reforms were not easily carried out(执行)at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole(杆) at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole.

Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.” It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke. Hearing no answer. Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.” This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces.

After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang Yang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him.

China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals,but when it comes to pigs,we have the same idea—pigs are ugly,lazy and stupid.

Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English,there are some expressions like“Eating like a pig”and “Pigs might fly”.None of them are complimentary.

However,pigs have some good qualities(品质).They are even as smart as dogs and elephants.They have good memories.And they know whether people treat them well or not.

A UK cartoon,Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon.The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love,friendship and the value of family.And a Chinese cartoon film,the Adventures of Mc Dull,is also very famous.In the cartoon,the little pig,Mc Dull,has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams.Most people want quick success,but Mc Dull is slow and patient,and not afraid of failing again and again.
