Old people often get hurt or die because they cant see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldnt drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), its very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. Its not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.36 . Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road?AStop and look both ways.BRun quickly.CMake sure that the road is clearDWalk quickly.37 . Why do most old people often get hurt or die when they are crossing the road?ABecause they are not careful.BBecause they forget to look and listen.CBecause they cant see or hear very well.DBecause they often run across the road.38 .

When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(樱桃).The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasnt a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on.

After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost no time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent(弯腰)down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.

So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours.
