Make yourself know the type of  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  you are standing on. Wet or uneven（不平坦的）ground can cause you to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  down in a crowd of moving people.

 If you find {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   in the middle of a moving crowd, you must be careful. Do not walk {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  the moving direction and do not stop or sit down, because you could get trampled (踩踏)  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Instead, move in the same {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  of the crowd. Keep your{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  up by your chest（胸部）to protect your chest. If you fall down, get up quickly, If you can't get  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  , ask someone to pull you back up. If you have kids, lift  {#blank#}11{#/blank#}  up.

 If you fall and cannot get up, keep on  {#blank#}12{#/blank#}   in the same direction of the crowd. If that is not  {#blank#}13{#/blank#}   , then cover your head with your arms.

 Try to get away from hard things in a crowd. If you're pushed against them, {#blank#}14{#/blank#}   a result, you may be hurt badly.

 We should learn to {#blank#}15{#/blank#}  ourselves. Stay away from the crowd.

Remember: Whatever you do, safety is first!

    Nelson Mandela was one of the greatest leaders in the world. He was born in Transkei, South Africa {#blank#}1{#/blank#} July 18^th, 1918. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} bad news! He died on December 5^th, 2013. He died at the age of 95. Nelson Mandela was an important person all over the world.

    When Nelson Mandela was young, he went to school and studied at school. In the 1950s, almost all black people didn't go to school. Only a few black people had rights {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) to school. Nelson Mandela was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (luck). He went to school and finished his schoolwork {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (successful). After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (graduate) he became a lawyer.

    Nelson Mandela {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (elect) President in 1994. He became his country's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (one) black president after spending 27 years in prison. He loved his country and served it with all his heart. He tried to bring people of different {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (race) together. He once won about one hundred prizes. The most important prize was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Nobel Peace Prize. He won the prize in 1993.

    A little bird lived in a beautiful fruit tree. He lived there for a long time. He and the tree were good {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. One year, the rainy season (雨季) did not bring enough water to the fruit tree. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the dry season came, the fruit tree began to die (枯萎).

    One day, an old bird came and sat on the tree. He saw the little bird was not {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and asked him why. After hearing the little bird's story, he {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, "Why don't you find {#blank#}5{#/blank#} tree to live in?"

    "I do not want to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my friend," the little bird said. The old bird said, "Well then, are you just going to sit there and do nothing to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} your friend? What does your friend {#blank#}8{#/blank#}?"

    The little bird thought about the old bird's words. And he {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he could do something to help his friend. He flew to the river and brought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to the fruit tree day after day. Soon, the tree turned green again.

    How will you feel if you see an e-library? When you walk into your local library and instead of hundreds {#blank#}1{#/blank#} shelves(架子) with all kinds of books, you see a modern room that looks like an Apple store with different kinds of computers. That is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (exact) a new kind of public library that opened in San Antonio's Bexar County in fall, 2013.

    A teacher says even if he loves paper books, he believes that it is time to have the e-library system(系统) now {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the world is developing rapidly(快速地).

    While the library doesn't have any paper books, it will have over 10,000 e-titles(目录) for readers to look {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and even download(下载) onto their own e-readers. For those that do not have a mobile phone, Nook or Kindle, there will {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a total of 150 e-readers for readers to borrow, 50 of which will be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) for kids! What's more, the library will also have 50 computers for people to enjoy.

    This is not the first time to consider a public e-library. In 2002, Pinna Public Library System was the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (one) to open a small e-library. However, it was located(位于) in an area where most people did not have {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (computer), so the library died and then added paper books.

    Are people ready for a library without paper books? Only time will tell. But {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it does work, similar libraries will be opened in many more places in the country. Would you be interested in e-books? Be sure to let us know by {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (mail) your comments(意见)!

    One day, Little Red Riding Hood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to her grandmother's house. She {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some flowers in the forest, then went to the forest to pick flowers. But the wolf saw {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So the wolf ran to her grandmother's house and swallowed (吞咽) her grandmother, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} pretended (假装) the grandmother and swallowed Little Red Riding Hood, too. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hunters (猎人) found and killed the wolf, saved the Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.

Never too old to learn

    I have just received a letter from my old school. I am told that my old English teacher of my middle school will leave school next week. He is sixty years old now. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} old and new students will send him a present {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (为了) celebrate the special day. The g{#blank#}3{#/blank#} and the students' name on a notebook will be sent to his home.

    We all remember him {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (因为) his patience and understanding. He used to e{#blank#}5{#/blank#} us when we failed our exams. He helped us when we {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(犯错误). He gave us {#blank#}7{#/blank#} when we faced difficulty and didn't know what to do. I never saw him be mad with us or shout at us a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He was always kind and was patient with us. As an English teacher, he not only taught us the beautiful language, but also lead us to the wonderful c{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. We were amazed at his interesting lessons and never m{#blank#}10{#/blank#} any class.

    We love him and {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (以...为骄傲) him. Plenty of students will take part in a goodbye party for him. He has taught students {#blank#}12{#/blank#} he was 20 years old. He is never tired of teaching {#blank#}13{#/blank#} (即使)it lasts 40 years.

    After he leaves school, he will take up gardening. What a surprise. For him, this will be a new {#blank#}14{#/blank#}['hɒbɪ]. Although he is a little bit old, it doesn't {#blank#}15{#/blank#}. As he often told us," One is never too old to learn." Actually, he has been doing what he told us.
