BEIJING (AP)-The government is teaching the people "the right way to spit." A college teaches students the right way to sit. Two years before holding the Olympic Games, people across Beijing are on and all-out drive to mind their behavior. Visitors are often surprised to see people in China spit phlegm onto the ground. Changing all that before the 2008 Summer Games is "important in providing a cultural and historical legacy to the world for China," said Beijing city official Zhang Huiguang. "We will work with newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, the Internet and mobile telephones to teach people the right way to spit, said Zhang. Zhang said her office is organizing a "behavioral training" activity that teaches people to line up for buses and turning off mobile phones during meetings. But spitting is the most serious problem. "You have to spit into a piece of paper or a bag, and then put it into a dustbin," she explained. Zhang said her office has organized a small group of volunteers who are going to Beijing's streets to hand out small "spit bags". "Public spitters already face fines up to 50 yuan (about $ 7 Cdn)," Zhang said. Others are taking a softer way. Lu-chin was born near Beijing, married an American and spent 10 years in the U.S. She said her heart sank when she and her family returned to live in her homeland and she saw the spitting, littering and cutting in line. It caused her to start the Pride Institute, a private group that showing the great pleasure of being more polite. "I'm trying to wake up a sense of decency. I know it's there. I saw our beautiful scenery covered with plastic bags. Sometimes I think I'm the first one to see this and say, 'Why do you treat our country like a dustbin?' I'm just trying to wake them up and show them they can stop the bad behavior." Still others are trying to improve things in a far more traditional way. "All of China is looking forward to the Olympics," said Zhang Hui, head of training at the Beijing Courtesy College. "It's really important to improve courtesy before the Games", Zhang said. "Everyone knows how to walk, stand and sit," she said. "But we teach them how to do it in a good way." That means things like sitting, back straight, on the "front one-third" of a chair, she said, "Women sit with their knees and feet together. Men may sit with their feet slightly apart. If you cross your legs, you keep the toe of your lifted foot pointing downward." "Every day we teach the students about Confucius and Laozi. Every country has a basis for its culture." she said. "Confucius and Laozi are our country's basis."

Can you make animals work for us? Some scientists think that one day we can teach animals to do a lot of things for people. In a film shown on TV, you may see elephants, monkeys, tigers or some other animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some of the easy work if they know they will get something to eat. We all know elephants can carry large logs(圆木),and dogs can look after houses. And we even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people have used apes to help make cars and scientists think that those large monkeys may drive trains one day. Now people are trying to get them to do the same thing that man does.

Every year several thousand people die in the car accidents in Great Britain. And between one and two hundred thousand people are hurt.
There are rules to make the roads safe, but people do not always obey (遵守) the rules. They are careless. If everybody obeys the rules, the road will be much safer. How can we make the roads safer?
Remember this rule. In Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars, buses and bikes must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, we should stop and look at both ways. Look right and left. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them to cross the road. We must teach our children to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Small children must not play in the street.
