Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift.It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away.As a result, no one knew who I was.I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break.I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.At that moment, a boy entered the classroom.I didn’t know who he was.He passed me and then turned back.He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.It made me feel happy, lively and warm.That smile changed my life.I started to talk with other students and made friends.Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me!
It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone.I believe that the world is what you think it is.If you think it lonely, you might always be alone.So smile at world and it will smile back.

The second one,noise.Enjoy yourselves by yourself,but don't make unnecessary noise,especially at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish you be quiet.
The third one,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and don't take any chances when crossing the road.

Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are less than 16 years of age.

Eric Wilson, the reporter from Lifestyle Magazine, interviews two persons on how they spend their day.Read what they say and answer some questions.
My name’s Stella.I usually leave at around eight fifteen.It takes me around forty minutes, and we start at nine-sharp.I take a coffee break at eleven, and then have my lunch at one o’clock.Pretty much the same hours as most people, I guess.I generally get home around six o’clock, have a snack, and then watch the news on TV at seven.I eat around eight, watch more TV or read a book, and try to be in bed by ten.Pretty boring, really, but that’s life.
My name’s Sophie.You ask my daily routine---that’s kind of a strange thing to ask.Still, if you really want to know…I get up around eleven thirty, and I hang out and read the paper and drink some tea.Then I go to the gym around twelve thirty, till about one fifteen, I guess.Well, then I might do some shopping or visit a friend.I usually have something to eat around three thirty, and I leave home at six thirty, and get to work around seven.I work until eleven.I’m usually home by eleven thirty.I have a meal, watch TV or a video, and try and be in bed by one o’clock.Unusual, maybe, but I like it.
