Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card. Women may get cards when they are sixty.
Mrs. Matthews lived in the country but she went into town once a week to buy food and other things for the house, and she usually went by bus. She always had to pay the full price for her ride.
Then she reached the age of sixty and got her senior citizen’s card, but when she used it for the first time on the bus, it made her feel very old.
The bus driver had often seen her traveling on the bus before, and he noticed that she was feeling unhappy, so after she had paid her money, he winked at her and whispered, “Don’t forget to give your mother’s card back to her when you see her again.”
Mrs. Matthews was very happy when she heard this.

Nowadays advertisements are everywhere. I think advertisements have both good and bad effects 1. young students.
On one hand, advertisements give us information about things 2. buy. They make 3. easier for us to choose the best product. Also, some advertisements are beautifully designed and pleasant to look at. 4. on the other hand, they can make trouble for us. First, most advertisements look attractive and they persuade us to buy things we don’t need at all. This is especially bad for young people. They are not making money yet. So they have to ask for money 5. their parents. Sometimes they buy lots of junk food 6. the advertisements look delicious. This is not healthy for them. What’s more, some advertisements don’t tell the truth. Many people find 7. cheated after using certain products.
In short, advertisements have pros and cons﹙赞成和反对点﹚. 8. young students, we should learn to deal with.
