After supper, Mr Jackson turned on the television. He tried to find a football game on it. At that time the telephone rang and he went to answer it. “Hello,” he said, “746-2135” “It's Betty speaking,” said a woman. “Henry is ill. And I have to take him to hospital. But Lucy is to young……” “Don't worry. I'll go and look after her. But where's your husband James?'' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.''

    Mrs Jackson was on duty in the hospital that night and Mr Jackson had to go to help his sister. Lucy was only four. She began to cry when her mother left. Mr Jackson told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures. He didn't stop until the little girl went to sleep. Mr Jackson went home after James came back. He was asleep soon after he went to bed. His wife came into the bedroom and it woke him up. He had a look at the clock on the wall and found it was half past eight. He jumped off the bed and ran to the garage(车库)with his bag. His wife tried to say something, but he called back, “l was never late for work, you know. But I'm late this morning.'' “No, you aren't,” said Mrs Jackson. “It's Saturday.''

    May 12th, 2018 is the 10^th anniversary of Wenchuan Earthquake. Many of us may have remembered what happened on May 12th, 2008. The devastating 7.9 magnitude Sichuan earthquake which killed about 90, 000 people in western China. It has been concerned(担忧) widely about what we can do when we encounter(遭遇) certain accidents. Therefore, how to deal with accidents in our daily life?

    Earthquake is the first thing that I am going to talk about. Firstly, you need to rush to open space quickly if you are in a lower floor. Meanwhile, you should avoid trees or wires around you. On the contrary (相反), you need to stay in a corner which seems firm if you are in a higher building. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}You should keep your body safe and wait for others to help you.

    When it comes to fire, you need to distinguish the root of the fire and find out security exits. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Then you should crawl (爬行)on the floor. Do not use elevators or any electronic equipments.

    Another accident is drowning. Every summer, about 5, 000 kids die because of swimming alone in the river or the lake. Experts say that we have the more possibilities of drowning if we struggle as possible as we can. So what we should do is: “{#blank#}3{#/blank#}” The summer holiday is coming. My dear friend, take care of yourself.

    In a word, all kinds of accidents will happen in our daily life. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}We should believe that the rate of danger can be minimized(机会少)and we can not only get a chance to save ourselves but also help more others if we learn about how to deal with them in the first place.

A. The most necessary thing is to keep calm and find the exact way

B. Do not be a jumper!

C. To take a deep breath, lie on the water and wait for others to save us.

D. The best way is to cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel.

    A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

    Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It isn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

    Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go.

    People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

    Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped(逃跑)from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

    Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

    Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower, little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres.

    Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made arctic(北极的)ice melt.

    Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

    When we want to buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbours to live near us, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. But what kind of neighbour is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.

    First, it is very important for our neighbours to respect our life. If we have a neighbour and he or she tries to know more about our life, how will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is "No". We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbour and we may want to move away as quickly as we can.

    Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home and someone tries to open our door, our neighbour sees it, and calls 110. It will help us a lot.

    Finally, a good neighbour should love the environment(环境). He or she never puts rubbish here and there. And he or she should throw all the rubbish into the bin and keep the place clean. A good environment can make people who live in it comfortable and feel happy all the time.

    I think we all should learn to be good neighbours, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbours and live a happy life.
