15．Every day cars kill or hurt many people on roads．Sometimes the drivers drive too fast or do not drive carefully enough．Some of them break the traffic rules and cause accidents．
According to some researchers，one of the reasons that cause the accidents is the careless pedestrians（行人）．They walk or run across the roads in front of the cars．They walk in the roads but not on the walkways．Some do not wait for the green lights and simply cross the roads against the red lights．
Many people think accidents often happen in busy roads in large cities，but this is not always true．For example，Tokyo is one of the world's largest cities and probably one of the busiest cities．However，there are few accidents to pedestrians．The reason is that the pedestrians are very careful，and they always follow the traffic rules．And the police there are also very strict．
In fact，we all know that alcohol（酒精）is another main cause of traffic accidents．Those who have drunk alcohol are slow in making decisions．Alcohol drinking is especially dangerous for drivers．It causes lots of traffic accidents in our country every year．So China has established（制定） the new traffic law to get people to obey the traffic rules．It says that people who drive after drinking alcohol will be put into prison and fined（罚款）more．The law was carried out on May 1st，2011．Luckily，it is reported that the number of traffic accidents has reduced a lot since then．

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle．They mean that the home is very important and personal to him．Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats，and many people own their homes．This means that they can make them individual（个体的）；they can paint them，and change them in any way they like．Most houses have a garden，even if it is a very small one，and the garden is usually loved．The house and the garden are the private（私人的） space of the individual．
People usually like to mark their space．Are you sitting now in your home or on a train？Have you marked the space around yourself as yours？If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you．If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own．
Once I was traveling on a train to London．I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us．The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table．There was no space on my side of the table at all．I was angry．Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table．I had read a book about non-verbal communication，so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase!When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head．I had invaded his space!A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them．He immediately moved his case to his side of the table．Of course，it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space．Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world．All day long，you share public spaces with other people．You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and"outside"．Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about．And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more!This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler!But if you understand it then it helps you．Haven't you enjoyed being part of a group and"owning"a bit of space？

8．The Invention Blog：A Place for People to Share Opinions
Today's question is：What do you think is the most useful invention of all time？
By George on Saturday，June 7
The most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet．We can now reach people and do business faster．I own a clothing store in Mexico City，and I also have a website．Now，people from all over the world can buy my clothing using my website．I can send e-mails to my friends and family in Mexico and around the world．It's faster than usual mail，and it's cheaper than using the phone．

By Wang Lin on Sunday，June 8
George，I also think that the Internet is useful．But，in my opinion，there is an"invention"that is even more important，and that's electricity．Of course，this isn't a man-made invention，but people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it．Without electricity，many of the world's most important invention would not work．

7．I am William．I grew up in a little village in England．My father was a lawyer（律师），but I always knew he was special．He was always kind to me．He'd say?"If you water flowers，they grow well．If you don't，they die．"
