Obey the rules of British roads

      British roads, some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

     People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts ( 环岛).

     British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic,then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called "jumping the queue". You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.

     You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries. it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.

     If another driver flashes (闪烁) his cars lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn ( 喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude.

     If you get in an accident,don't try to pay the police.The police in the UK never take money,and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.

回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过六个词.

(1)How many tips are mentioned in the passage?  

(2)Which side do British people drive on?  

(3)If you jump the queue, how will other drivers feel?  

(4)What does the driver probably mean if he flashes his car's lights at you?  

(5)If you give the police money, what will happen to you?

                               Athletics vs. Gardening

     The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.

An athletic program is hatch better than gardening. How are we ever going to win anything at the Inter﹣School Athletics without proper training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one tam and the teachers train us. We need experts(专家)to teach us things like throwing and high jump.

I know lots of kids say they're tot interested in competitions, but that's because they've never won anything. If they got better training and started winning things, they'd soon change their minds.

People always say kids don't get enough exercise. Just because you do gardening outdoors doesn't make it exercise, so I don't sec how it matters.

Athletics is much better for fitness and lots of kids can have a go at the same tine. I don't think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.

In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don't know why we're even considering it.

Liz, Grade 8

I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport.

Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you're any good at it, or whether you're going to win. And you really do gel exercise when you garden. There's digging, weeding and watering Even picking things can be hard work ﹣ pumpkins aren't light you know!

There are lots of kids around here who don't have gardens so they can't grow things even they want to. If you really want to do more sport, you can join a club.

And think about it: What helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us all fit and healthy and then we'll be better at sport.

Sam, Grade 8

(1)Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?  

A. Kids should take exercise.

B. Kids should eat vegetables.

C. Kids should try to win more.

D. Kids should be outside more.

(2)What is one reason Liz gives for saying "a garden is a really bad idea"?  

A. Some students don't like getting dirty.

B. Some students don't enjoy being outside.

C. Some students already know how to garden.

D. Some students may have no chance to garden.

(3)Why does Sam say, "And think about it.: what helps you to be good at sport?"  

A. To change the subject.

B. To introduce his next reason.

C. To support Liz's idea.

D. To find an answer to the question.

Q: At recess(课间休息), I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don' like or don't want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?

                                                                                                           Alex rider,13, Bloomfield,N.J.

A: In fact, recess was my least favorite part

of the school day for Grades 1 to 5. I was

never really into playing kickball. So, like

you, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the extra time you have.I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess,because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn't your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want to do, don't let your time go to waste.Johnny Hayes, 15

A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex?Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess﹣ which was too vigorous(剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me."What do you want to do? I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I'm not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like. You might just surprise yourself. Philip Galanes, adult

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,do people remember less?if you know your computer will store information,why do you store it in your own personal memory,your brain?Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

    In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments(实验).She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.

    In the first experiment,they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.

    In the second experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.However,they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory (交互记忆)".

    According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transitive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

(1)Why does the writer begin the text with two questions?    

A.To explain some thoughts.

B.To introduce the main topic.

C.To show an opinion.

D.To draw the readers' attention.

(2)What can we learn form the first experiment?    

A.Sparrow put the information into the computer.

B.Both groups remember the information well.

C.Group 1 remembered the information faster.

D.Group 2 remembered the information better.

(3)What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment?    

A.People organize the information like a computer.

B.People remember how to find the information.

C.People remember how to make a folder.

D.People keep the information in mind.

(4)What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion(结论)?    

A.People become more and more clever.

B.The way people use memory is changing.

C.The way people make experiments is changing.

D.People's memories become poorer than before.

Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字)in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider(提供者) you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random(随机的).

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联系)for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

(1)Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world?  

(2)What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China?  

(3)Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers?  

(4)When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China?  

(5)Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world?
