Neighbourhood Watch

　　What is Neighbourhood Watch

　　It is a community based program aimed at reducing the incidence of preventable crime and preserving your way of life．

　　Why is Neighbourhood Watch needed?

　　A police officer on patrol may not know what is normal in your street and may not recognize a stranger in your yard．You and your neighbours are in a position to observe and report anything of a suspicious nature to police．Some members of a community do nothing about suspicious activities, as they do not know what to do or if their neighbours would appreciate their involvement．Neighbourhood Watch is protection of your property and lifestyle through communication and co-operation between neighbours．

　　The objectives of Neighbourhood Watch are to：

　　·Reduce preventable crime．

　　·Encourage reporting of suspicious(令人怀疑的)activity．

　　·Reduce the fear of crime within the community．

　　·Improve the level of home security in the community．

　　·Improve the quality of information passed to Police．

　　·Encourage the engraving of property to discourage theft．

　　·Assist in identifying recovered property．

　　Neighbourhood Watch Development Officer

　　Within the Perth metropolitan area, several Local Government authorities have appointed Neighbourhood Watch Development Officers and their duties include：

　　·Promotion of Neighbourhood Watch．

　　·Recruitment(充实, 招收)of volunteers．

　　·Liaison(联系)with the community, Crime Prevention Officers, local Police and other relevant(相关的)authorities．

　　·Organization of and participation in public meetings promoting Neighbourhood Watch．

　　The Village of Langshort is halfway along the old coach road from London to the South Coast. Young Henry Buckle was there when a car passed through the village for the first time, in the early 1900s. Later, as the owner of what had been his father's general store, he remembers selling ice-creams and soft drinks to families that passed through the village in cars and coaches on their way to the seaside.

　　But the traffic did not only bring trade to the village, it also brought noise and danger. As the years passed, the peace of what had been a quiet country village was broken by roaring engines; Farmer Dodd's gates were left open by day-trippers enjoying a picnic in his field; and trees that had been familiar friends were cut down so that the road through the village could be made wider and safer.

　　Safer, that is, for the cars and heavy lorries that thundered past within a few metres of Henry Buckle's general store. But it was not safer for Henry's son Gerald, and the other children of the village; and it was not safer for the old cottages that were shaken from their chimneys to their floors by every lorry that passed. Nor was it safer for Henry himself; as the old man moved, more slowly now, from his store to the pub and to the butcher's shop of his friend George Carter, just across the street.

　　The street had been where the life of the village was lived, where games were played, work was done and long conversations were held. Now it cut the village in two, and brought not life but death. Henry was knocked down and killed one night by a passing car. A great character, part of old Langshort, had died.

　　But Henry had not been buried long before his son Gerald, George Carter and others, had dressed as gasmen, and dug up the road, causing the traffic to follow another road right round the village, instead of through it.

　　Right up Your Street is the story of men who, when they are pushed too far, act quickly to defend a way of life that most of us have let go for good.

　　“Village life is described with a loving, and truthful pen” -- Morning Mail

Adding Humors to Your Conversations

2．_______________________________

Maybe you have a picture of your kids at Disney World．Maybe it’s a picture of your last year’s Halloween costume．Perhaps a photo will remind you that your dog makes you laugh．The photo will also open the door to fun-filled conversations with visitiors to your office．

3．_______________________________

If you’ve been with people, spend some time alone．If you’ve been sitting, take a walk．If you’ve been in a quiet environment, go someplace exciting．If you’ve been indoors, step outside．

　　I am Martin from Cameroon, 26 years old and one of the foreign teachers in Number thirteen middle school．

　　Actually, I really want to tell you how fascinating China is for those who enjoy discoveries, traveling and others．You really can’t imagine how much you can do in China without speaking Chinese．Most foreigners have a wrong opinion(概念，看法)about China because of the media perhaps．But I think you should give it a try．

　　Liuzhou is a small city in Guangxi Province．The city is clean enough and the atmosphere is pure．I guess that makes it a nice place to live．Also the cost of living is cheap．The people are friendly, less crime and all you need to make you feel at home．

　　I have been teaching in number thirteen middle school for about one year now．Our leaders are great to us(foreign teachers)．They always make sure we get everything we need．For the students, they are disciplined(守纪的)and well groomed(整洁的)．They will respect you no matter your gender(性别)，skin, color or age．Their level of English is also better than you could find in other schools．

　　In a nut shell(总之)，isn’t all this what we need to pull on with a smooth life?I guess so．I bet you would find every reason to feel at home here．

想一想：Do you think it is necessary for schools to invite foreign teachers to teach English in China?

　　Love the Job

　　Every day we hear about people making radical(根本的)career changes．We have our choices, but will all these changes make us any happier? Maybe the question is not “How can I get the job I love?”, but “How can I love the job I have?” Take some time to think about it, and you might be surprised by what you find．

　　1．Realize that your job does not define(给……下定义)you, but how you do it does．There’s a lot to be said for attitude, more than will fit here．Any job can be done well, if done with compassion(激情), done with care．Your attitude at work and the way you treat people－even your mood－do not go unnoticed．They have a profound influence on the people you work with．There are times when you can’t control your situation, but you can always choose how you live in it．

　　2．Stop focusing on the money．Money will never be enough so stop using it(or the lack of it)as an excuse．Whatever you are bringing home on the 15th and 30th, there are always going to be things you could do or would do if you had more．Try taking tracking(跟踪)every penny you spend in a week．Seeing where your money is really going can help you to refocus your spending towards the things you really want．Getting paid is only one small part of what you do; your work has to be more than just a paycheck(付薪水的支票)．

　　3．Find the importance in what you do．This may require you to think big, but it can be done．Take some time to really think about what you do．Do you provide an essential(必要的)service?Do you get to see the finished product?Then ask yourself “how is this job done differently because I am doing it?” Perspective(远景)plays a huge role in personal satisfaction and sense of well being．Try to remember why you took the job in the first place．

Question：How many aspects does the author give for you to think about to love your job?

　　The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids．　　1　　．There are over eighty of them scattered(散布)along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids．The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “Bent” pyramid．

　　Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago．Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings．　　2　　．These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever．　　3　　．However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves．　　4　　．Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists(考古学家)have formed a fairly clear picture of them．

　　One thing is certain：there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build．　　5　　．You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere．Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome．

A．The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve(保护)the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin．

B．It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved．

C．The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place．

D．Consequently(所以), we are only able to guess at the methods used．

E．Many people were killed while building the pyramids．

F．They have stood for nearly 5000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet．

G．It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids．
