    A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.

    Number One is a sign with a number on it. When drivers see this sign with thirty on it, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers art hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town.

    Number Two is a sign that we're near a crossing We must drive {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Number Three is a sign that there is a bend(拐弯)on the road Again, we must drive slowly. It is not {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to go around a bend very last.

    Number Four is a sign that there is another road coming in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the right There is a junction(交叉) at this place.

    Number Five is a sign that there is a hill and Number Six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must devote his attention to the drive and go slowly.

    Number Seven has the word "SCHOOL" on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road Perhaps there are children going to or {#blank#}4{#/blank#}school, so drivers must drive with special care.

    Number Eight is a sign with the letter "P" on it. The letter "P" means "Parking". In some places, there are the signs "No parking" or "No waiting". {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the of the car.
