    In 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, only white people were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to sit in the first four rows of public buses. African-American people had to use the seats towards the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of the bus.

    If someone {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was African-American sat in the white part, he or she would be asked to move.

    One day, an African-American named Rosa Parks was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in a “whites only” part of the bus.

    The bus was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and some white people needed a seat, so the driver asked Rosa Parks to give {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her seat.

    But she refused. She was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} after a long day working in a store and she felt she should have the right to sit {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she wanted, so she told the driver “no”.

    For that, she was arrested (逮捕). She was tried for just 30 minutes and fined (罚款) $10—a lot of money in those days.

    She also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her job because of that.

    Today, in the United States, December 1 is a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} called Rosa Parks Day. Rosa Parks is celebrated for her action and bravery.

They think walking is good {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their health. About one hundred students ride their {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to school because they like {#blank#}7{#/blank#}bikes very much and their homes are not very far from the school. No one goes to school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} car. How about the teachers? Well, some teachers always {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to school because they live about ten {#blank#}10{#/blank#} from school.
