Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. "It's not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister! " she said.

It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid's life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹) ?

A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. "Siblings give children something that parents can't give," said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.

But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, arguments and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.

Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and creative.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about Pan Jiachen?

A. She is 17 years old.

B. She comes from Nanjing.

D. She wishes that she could have a brother or a sister.

4.Which of the following is the disadvantage of having a brother or a sister?

According to a new survey, student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery(抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities of China, many schools start a new lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

Lin Li, a teacher from Yantai and a self-protection expert(专家) , gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

If you are in a traffic accident

If a car hurts you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don't know how seriously you are hurt.

If it is raining hard and there is lightning

Don't stay in high places and stay away from trees. Stay away from forms of metal. Lightning is electricity and metal is a conductor of electricity.

When there is a fire

Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

If someone is drowning

You need to get them out of the water first and press on their chest(胸腔). If you can't swim, don't get into the water. Cry out for help. Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times !

If you are robbed(抢劫)

Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
