Mr. Green worked in an office in London, but he lived in the country and came to work by train every day. The station was not very far from his office, and he always went on foot from the station to his office and back from his office to the station. Every evening he walked past a poor man near a bridge. The man sat at the road and sold matches, and there was a dog near him. There was a piece of wood round the dog’s neck, and the words “I AM BLIND” were on the piece of wood.

Mr.Green was a kind man. He always stopped and gave a penny to the man, but he did not take any of his matches. One day, Mr.Green had a lot of work in his office and left the office very late. He came to the man and his dog, but he did not stop. The poor man stood up quickly, ran after him and said, “You’re always very kind to me. Give me a penny today. I’m a poor man.” Mr.Green stopped and he was surprised. Then he said, “You’re a blind man. How did you see me?” The poor man said, “No, I’m not blind. My dog is.”

Mr. Evens works in Sydney. Last week he had a two weeks’ holiday, but he didn’t know where to go. He said to his friend Robert, “I hate the hot weather here, but I can’t find a cool place in Australia. How will I take my holiday?”

“That’s easy,” said Robert. “You’d better go to Moscow. Snow and ice are covering the ground now.”

Mr. Evens agreed with his friend. He bought an air ticket and soon arrived in Moscow. He made a happy journey（旅程） there. But one day He got into trouble. After lunch he went to a park outside the city. He saw a dog following him while he was walking past a house. It was hungry and wished him to give it some food to eat. Bad luck! He had no piece of bread or cake in his pockets. He tried to send it away, but it began to bark at him. He wanted to look for a stick but couldn’t find anything except snow and ice.

When there is an earthquake at school:

Stay calm. Follow the teachers’ instructions. Quickly move under the desk. Don’t jump out of

windows or run out.

When you are on the street:

Wait for the green traffic light. Look left and right before crossing the street. Don’t run across

the street.

When you are eating:

Wash fruits and vegetables carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates(保质期) of

the food. Don’t eat the food if it looks or smells bad.

When you are at school:

Take care not to fall down or hurt yourself. Don’t run, jump or push while going upstairs or

downstairs. Take care of yourself all the time.
