    Gina was surprised to find that it was not raining in London. She stepped down from the train that had brought her from Dover to Victoria Station and put her heavy suitcase on the platform(站台). People were hurrying everywhere: through the entrances and exits, up and down the steps, along the other platforms and over to the ticket counters(柜台) where there were already queues forming. The porters(行李员) seemed to be busy helping other passengers. In Milan everyone told her that it was always raining in England. Today, however, they were wrong. It was warm and dusty just like at home. She could even hear someone speaking her native language somewhere near the station bookstore. She walked slowly towards the gate at the end of the platform where a railway official was collecting the tickets. She handed him her tickets and walked through. She looked up the station clock. Its hands were pointing to 3:15 p.m.

A young woman was sitting on a bench reading an English magazine. She looked friendly so Gina went up to her.

“Excuse me.” she said. The young woman glanced(瞥一眼) up with a smile. “Can you tell me the way to circus?”

“The circus?” The young woman looked puzzled. “What circus do you mean?”

Gina shook her head. “I’m sorry. I have just arrived from Italy to attend a school for foreign students in London. It is near the circus. “

“Do you have a letter with the school’s address on it?”

“Oh, yes. Now I remember.” Gina opened her handbag and found a postcard with a British stamp on it. “Ah,” said the young woman. “It’s Oxford Circus that you want. It’s the name of an area in the middle of London. You must go down these steps and take the Tube(地铁). Follow the colors. That’s the easiest way. ” She showed Gina on the colored map of the underground railway the route from Victoria to Oxford Circus. “Good luck,” she said. “And by the way, I come from Italy, too.”

    Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends’ houses.

Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.

Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.

To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!

1.If you cut another car off, its driver may be            .

A.impatient B.terrible C.angry D.both A and C

2.According to the passage, driving can be safe if            .

Dear Linda,

Your brother sounds like a very selfish person. But I want to know what causes him to act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.

I think your brother is probably hurt in some way. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be displeased with your mother’s love for the rest of you over him.

It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters have their real mother but he doesn’t. Try to let him know that you care about him. With time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same kindness that you give him.

Yours Truly,

Sue Clarke
