Some Advice on Safety

 Always play in a safe place. A park is a safe place because there is no cars or trucks. But do not talk to strangers. Never go with a stranger into a car.

 Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look left, look right and look left again.

 Keep away from houses or buildings that are being built or knocked down. Something might fall on your head, or you might cut yourself on broken glass.

 Medicines or pills can be dangerous. Never swallow(吞下) any pills or medicines you find in the cupboard.

 Don't swim in the pool or river without adults. Wear a life jacket whenever you go out in a boat. Even if you are not in the open sea and the water is not deep, you should have your life jacket on. It's easy to fall out of a boat.

 Do not put your head out of a car, bus or train. Many children have been killed by doing this.

    Do you clean your school desks every day? If not, then maybe it's about the time for you to get started. Keyboards, computer mice and telephone dials are infected (polluted) with lots of germs(细菌), according to scientists from the University of Arizona, the US.

    The study suggests that office equipment should be regularly cleaned. “Desks are in fact germs' cafeterias(自助餐厅),” said Charles Garbage, a biologist who took part in the study. “They are breakfast bars, lunch tables and everything else.” The desks at your school are probably not different.

    The scientists found that telephones in workplaces have almost 4,000 germs/cm², keyboards 500 and computer mice around 250. The office as a whole contains 4, 750germs/cm².

    When some people catch a cold or flu, they leave germs on the surfaces(表面) they touch during the day. Some flu germs can live on the surface for up to 72 hours, so the germs can easily move to other people. If you're ever wondered why everyone catches the germs when only one student has a cold, now you know the answer.

    Experts in the US last month warned about the spread(传播) of the germs during flu seasons. They reminded Americans to cover their noses and mouths while sneezing, often wash their hands and clean their office desks.

Hand washing is the most important. Killing germs during hand washing is useful only if you clean carefully with soap and water for at least 30 seconds. You should pay close attention to cleaning your thumbs, fingertips and fingernails.

    The "green" car has become popular in recent years. A green car is an environment friendly car. Today, most cars are powered (驱动) by petrol (汽油). They make our life easier. But cars have also made problems for the environment.

    There are a few new types of cars that use no petrol or a little petrol.

    Electric cars：This kind of car uses a battery (电池) for power. When you're not driving it, just plug it in like a mobile phone to power up the battery. They don't make exhaust (排放物). But car makers still can't make a battery that lasts for more than a few hours. That's why electric cars aren't very popular.

    Fuel cell cars (燃料电池车) : Fuel cell cars use hydrogen (氢) and oxygen (氧) to make power. The only exhaust they produce is clean water. But fuel cell cars are still much too expensive to make.

    Solar cars : This kind of car has large panels (板) on the top that take power from the sunshine. The car holds that power in a battery. Solar cars might be the cleanest of all. But no one uses them, because solar panels can't get enough power from the sun to make a car go for a long time. Also, they are very slow.

    Hybrid cars（油电混合车）： This kind of car is the most exciting kind, because it is very clean and not too expensive. The hybrid car is very smart: Half the time, it uses petrol, and half the time it uses a battery. So, when the petrol engine is working, it puts some of its power back into the battery. It uses much less petrol than other cars. It also makes less pollution for the environment.

    A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals(目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here is some advice about how to be your own life coach:

    Pay attention to your relationships with others. Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.

    Face the fears about the future. Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible. ①但是他们坚持努力工作，永不放弃。

    Develop your talents. ②If you want to achieve your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have. And you should also uncover (发现)any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.

    Be thankful. Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive (积极的) things. Think of the best days you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Thank for the wonderful people you have in your life.
