The first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out, we found an old woman  1  at the door.

After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good  6  . I often listened to this “time machine” as she shared her study with me.

At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a  7  . When she was stepping up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated (沮喪的) and said, “I’m sorry. I am so nervous I can’t get my ready talk   8  , so I have to tell you   9  I know.”

In her speech she told us, “We don’t stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Jenny felt more confident about her life after reading the advice of her star sign. She always followed the advice of her star sign—Virgo.

One Monday, it said, “Don't go to another city this week, or you could miss a great chance.”“ I don’t think I have to go to another city this week,” thought Jenny. Twenty minutes later, her mobile phone rang. It was from her company. They were calling to tell her that she needed to go to the office earlier that day, because she had to go to a neighbour city. Jenny thought for a while and said “I'm sorry, but I don’t feel well today.”

When she arrived at the office the next day, her boss was angry with her. When he heard that one of Jenny’s workmates said he saw Jenny in a shop yesterday, he became even angrier and told her to go home! During the rest of the week, Jenny decided to have a good rest. She stayed in her city and walked around and spent the afternoon in a small cafe reading books.

On Saturday, Jenny went to the cafe again. A man came up to her and said, “Excuse me, lady. I’m the boss of the cafe. I've noticed you these days.

Cars burn gasoline. This will produce a lot of CO into the air. Some people believe that CO is making the earth warmer. They think CO thins the clouds above us. The clouds keep us away from the strongest sunlight. So try to walk, ride a bicycle or take a bus. And if you drive a car, drive at a steady speed. This can save some gasoline.

The biggest energy use at home is for keeping warm or coo1.So turn the air conditioner off when you don’t need to use it. Use lights that save energy.

Use fewer things that cannot be used again. When you buy something, consider those made from things that can be used again first.

It is believed that Egyptians drive on the right, although many choose to drive along the middle of the road. The most important and necessary part of an Egyptian driver’s car isn’t anything to do with how good, safe or fast the car is —it is the horn (喇叭)!

The horn is sounded to greet friends or to make camels or donkeys move along the street. These animals often cause problems when they are in front of the car. Sometimes, people who are selling small things around the car also cause trouble, so the drivers use the horn to tell them they are not welcome. All of these above reasons have one aim: to keep other road users out of the way. However, there are also some special cases. For example, people can use the horn to allow another road user onto the road, but this seldom happens. They do so only because they feel like it. They also use the horn to warn the poor traffic policeman. They have to be careful when they are on duty at crossroads because Egyptian drivers either are color-blind or don’t understand what the true meaning of a traffic light is. The drivers don’t slow down or stop, mostly because they can’t, even if they want to.

When visiting the capital, Cairo, you will find that it is a busy city, with lots of cars, motorbikes and pollution!
