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.

    A couple (夫妇) have travelled around the world in 297 days—without taking any planes Tom Fewins and Lara Lockwood used 78 buses, 61 trains, 34 cars, 18 boats, six bicycles, and even one elephant. They wanted to prove that tourists can still be well travelled without damaging the environment. They aimed to product less than 3,000 kg of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)， compared with six times that amount if they had gone by plane.

    They spent ten months travelling44，609 miles through l 8 countries on land and sea．The couple's world tour began in June 2008 with a two-hour bus journey to London from their home in Oxfordshire．They took the train，Eurostar，to Brussels and then caught a bus and train to Hamburg before going to Copenhagen．The couple even rode on an elephant for l 5 miles through the Chinese part of the Mekong River(湄公河)．

    People usually hate mice, but one mouse wins the hearts of the people all over the world—the famous Mickey Mouse.

    Fifty years ago, most films had no sounds. A man named Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse that could talk in these films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse became a good friend of both young and old people. Children like to see their lovely friend, because he brought happiness to them.

    Mickey is a clean mouse right from the beginning. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse. In his early life Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they didn't want Mickey to do wrong things. As there were many things that Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal named Donald Duck. He also made a dog, Pluto. This dog does foolish things and makes mistakes wherever he goes. Now our Mickey Mouse is not only clean, but more interesting. He came out as a star of beauty and wisdom (智慧). He has his friends in almost every country.

    CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

    Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programmed, there were 900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013.

    About six million children die of hunger every year.

    So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes," Every grain on the plate comes from hard work. "It tells us everybody must save food.

    Luckily a number of people have realized the importance of saving food.

    Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her Job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

    What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:

    Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can't eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

    Don't be too picky(挑别的) about food. Some food may not be tasty, but your body needs it.

    Don't keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.
