摘要:( ) Last year Hurricanes hit Central and North America. Do you know the name of one of the Hurricanes? A. London bombings. B. Bush Smith. C. Rita. D. Beauty and the Monster. D If you have to choose a “Person of the Year for 2005, who will you pick? For many of us, the choice might not be a person at all. It would be Mother Nature. While the world was still getting over the Indian tsunami of December 2004. Mother Nature went on showing her power throughout 2005. From July to October, about seven typhoons hit China’s coastal area. In August, the whole New Orleans City in the US was hit with its worst-ever natural disaster, Hurricane Katrina. In early October, an earthquake in Pakistan killed more than 70,000 people. Mother Nature was trying to give us a message: humans need to take responsibility for the earth. She was just fighting back. It is we humans who burn coal and oil to make electricity and power cars. This makes huge amount of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming. It is we humans who cut forests and fill lakes to make space for buildings. This leaves fewer trees and lakes to keep floods from rushing to towns and cities. We need to work hard to ease Mother Nature’s anger, or we’ll see more years of disasters. For example, we can start to use less electricity. Turn off lights, TVs and computers when we’re not using them. We can plant trees. One new tree a year from each of us can make a forest. Forests not only hold floods, they also take in greenhouse gases. Choose the best answer according to the passage.

Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?

On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are much stricter than the old ones.

Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.

From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.

The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的). They have a speed limit of 80 km per hour on highways and 60 km per hour on normal roads.

There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid box and a GPS.

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.

The most serious accident happened in November in Gansu, when a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.
