“Any soup needs salt and pepper,” the first soldier said, so some children ran to fetch salt and pepper. “Stones can be used to prepare good soup, but tomatoes would ____ it so much better,” the second soldier added. One woman said, “Why, I think I have a tomato or two!” She ran to get the tomatoes.

“Some cabbage would be a proper choice for a good stone soup!” said the third soldier. Another woman said, “I think I can probably find some cabbage,” and off she ran.

“If only we had a bit of beef and some potatoes, this soup would be fit for a rich man's ____.” The villagers thought it over, then ran to fetch what they had in their homes. A rich man's soup, and all from a few stones! It seemed like ____!

Never had there been such a ____ meal. Never had the villagers had such delicious soup, and all made from stones! They ate and drank and danced well into the night.

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teenagers should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.
