Hello,my name's Xiao Jingwen. You can call me Irene. Fm 14 years old. I was born inChina. I used to live in Wuhan,Hubei. Now I am in Year 10        at Park side Community College,a school in Cambridge,UK. I'll tell you about the fun things I do in this country.

I like cycling,especially here in the UK. I live in Cambridge,where I can get anywhere on my bike. But biking in theUKis a different experience from biking inChina.

First of all,you have to ride on the left hand side of the road,not the right as you do in China. It was quite a challenge for me when I got here.

Once when I was on my bike I heard someone yell at me ," Wrong side!Wrong side！" I didn't get it first but then I saw the cars rushing by me. I was scared. Thank God,nothing crashed into me!

UK bikes have something Chinese bikes don't: lights. A white light at the front and a red one at the back. They are for safety when you're riding in the dark. If you don't have your lights on and the police stop you,you can be fined (罰款) .

You also need bicycle clips (裝備) for your trousers and a helmet (頭盔) .The clips are to stop your trousers getting caught in the chain.

Some people also have a milometer (計程表) on the handlebars (車把) .It shows them how many miles they have traveled.

But Chinese bikes have somethingUKbikes don't. In China,there are stands at the backs of bikes. You don't see those in theUK.

This means people can't just leave their bikes anywhere. There are special parks where you leave your bike. Smart,isn't it?

(   ) 6. According to the passage,which city did Irene use to live in?

   A. Hubei. B. Wuhan.

   C. Parkside. D. Cambridge.

(   ) 7. From the passage we learn that         

   A. Irene once crashed by a car

   B. inChina,you can see stands at the backs of bikes

   C. UK bikes have lights at the back only

   D. it was easy for Irene to bike in England at the beginning

(   ) 8. It's clear that         .

   A. you have to ride on the right side of the road inEngland

   B. people can just leave their bikes anywhere

   C. if you don't have your lights on,the police will stop you

   D. people must have a milometer on the handlebars

(   ) 9. The underlined word "stands" in the passage means "         ”.

   A. bears   B. frames   C. tables   D. places

(   ) 10. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

Strong,healthy teeth help you chew food that helps you grow. They help you speak clearly. And they help you look best. Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth.

1. Brush your teeth in the right way.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day―after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can,brush them after lunch or after sweet snacks,too.

Brush all of your teeth,not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the side and back of your mouth. Brush things away from your gums (牙床) too.

Spend at least three minutes each time when you brush your teeth. Play a song you like to help pass the time. Get a new toothbrush every three months. When you buy your toothbrush,be sure it has soft bristles (刷子毛) .

2. Learn how to floss your teeth (用牙線剔牙縫) .

Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush can not get to,like the space between two teeth. Flossing can help get rid of (除掉) it. Carefully move the floss between two teeth,up and down. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

3. Have good eating habits.

You need to be careful about what you eat and drink. Eating sugar is a major cause of tooth decay (蚊牙) .Eating sugar before you go to bed can make things even worse. So you should eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink water instead of soda.
