Answer the questions according to the following passage.
In May 2011，Gao Xiaosong，a Chinese musician，was caught in a car accident. When the police asked him to take a breath alcohol test（酒精呼气测试），the result showed that he had drunk too much wine. Because of that，he is now in prison（监狱）and can’t be allowed to drive cars in China for five years.
Nowadays，cars are very important in people’s life. More and more cars are going into Chinese families. However，lots of car accidents take place and many people are hurt or killed every year. According to a police survey，（1） there are a lot of drivers driving after drinking. And the number of drunken driving is still large.
After drinking，a driver can’t control himself or his car. In some cases（案例），some drivers even drove into rivers or houses after they drank.
As it is so dangerous，there is no excuse for drunken driving. Remember the following three rules when driving.
Never drive after drinking.
Never let anyone drive after drinking.
（2）Never give alcohol（酒）to anyone who would drive later.
If all of us can keep these three rules in mind，there will be fewer car accidents，fewer people will be heart-broken. For the safety of ourselves and for the happiness of our families，we must remember：No driving after drinking!

It’s the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell-phones. They want to log on (登录) to their microblogs (微博) to check the funny things that have happened in the last hour. Since last year, the trend (潮流) of microblogging has swept the country. Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have a microblog, and some even update(更新) their blogs over five times per day.
“We learn many fresh and interesting things on microblogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Liang Jianmin, 14, a student at Harbin No 3 Middle School. “If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop (被排挤在圈外).” It is also a great place for students to let out stress. “My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but actually it adds pressure (压力),” said Zhang Yazhe, 15, a student in Luohu Foreign Languages School. “When I share these feelings on my microblog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better.” But parents are worried that microblogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading（误导性的） messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Shen Mingde, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about microblogging. Instead, it can become a window for parents to understand their children.
“If parents can read their children’s microblogs, they’ll know their thoughts, thus (因而) leading to better communication and solutions to problems,” he said. Micro blogging tips for kids
★1. Don’t microblog for more than one hour a day.
★2. Never microblog in class.
