    "Find a way to work it out．"said their mother．

    ⑵"It's too clean out there．"he said．But the closet(壁橱)was too dark at night，so Pablo moved back into their room．

    In the second week，Nico put some tape(胶条)on the floor(地板)．"You, stay on your side，"said Nico．But Nico had to cross the tape every day to leave the room，so he took the tape away．

根据材料内容完成下列任务。

    Here is a story of a dog. It saved his owner, Audrey Stone, who was a lady and had poor vision (视力).

    Figo, an eight-year-old dog, is Audrey Stone's third service dog. "He protects me and loves me. We are friends," Stone said.

    On a Monday, Stone and Figo were on their way back from their "usual daily walk". When they prepared to cross a street, "I gave him the order to cross the street," Stone said.

    "I said, 'Forward.' And we were in the middle of the street and it happened so quickly, but people said he just jumped at the school bus and saved me," Stone said.

    The school bus was carrying two children to a learning center. Luckily they were not injured. Stone said she didn't remember much of the accident, but one image (画面) stayed with her: a wounded Figo staying by her side, holding up his wounded right paw (爪子).

    "I knew he was hurt," she continued. "I remember Figo standing there, looking at me, trying to get close to me, but he didn't know what to do. Because he knew I was hurt." Figo had an operation (手术) on his right front leg. Figo's vet (兽医) said his leg was getting better.

    Stone said she was sure of one thing, "I'd have been sad if he had got killed." But, she added, they both lived to tell the story.

    Once upon a time, a cat and a mouse were good friends. They lived a happy life in the same house. One day they went to the market and bought a big piece of cheese. They put it under a tree for winter.

    A few days later, the mouse wanted to eat the cheese. He told the cat that he had to join a baby's birthday party and then left. The mouse ate half of the cheese and returned home. When the cat asked him what the baby's name was, the mouse said" Half­gone".

    After a few days, the mouse wanted to eat some cheese again. He told the cat he had to join another baby's birthday party. He finished the other half and told the cat the baby was called "All­gone".

    When winter came, the cat went to the tree to get the cheese. But he found nothing. From then on, mice and cats were not friends any more.

    Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road and at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians(行人)safe.

    The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don't ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt(安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.

    Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim(格言)for all road users is "Thinking about others."

Are you a stressed-out student?

    You can beat it with our FIVE-POINT ACTION PLAN！

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Some people are OK with three or four hours of sleep a night, but most people aren't. You should try to sleep eight hours a night. If you can't, then take a nap in the afternoon. Sleeping too long isn't good, either. Don't stay in bed all day.

    Students often put on weight because they eat a lot of junk food and eat late at night. Bad idea! You should try to eat your evening meal early and have healthy snacks, like fruit. You should also try to drink at least eight cups of water a day. Finally, don't skip breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!

    You don't have to eat a big breakfast, but you should eat something.

    Sometimes you have to stop what you're doing. Take a break. Turn off the TV or computer, walk around the room, and breathe deeply. You should do this several times a day. And once a week, take a walk in a park or in the woods. Look at the trees and smell the flowers.

    Walk as much as you can. Walking is the best way to stay in shape. Or get a bicycle, but remember that riding a bike can be dangerous. You should always wear a helmet and bright clothes. Never ride without them!

    Do you have a gym nearby? You should use it. You don't have to exercise every day, but you should do some aerobic activity three to five times a week. Thirty minutes a day is enough. Remember: you can review for a test and jog on a treadmill at the same time.
