贵州省铜仁市松桃县2020届九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷
Every year, there are many people going home by long-distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day. There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.
Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors (祖先). Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. A few people also spent the three-day holiday on leisure trains. So transportation safety is a big problem.
On the other hand, it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year's holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.
The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government's efforts, I believe everything will change better.

How much pocket money do you get from your parents each week? British researchers did a survey of 1,204 children between 8 and 15 years old. According to the reports, they are getting less and less pocket money.
In 2010 | They found the average amount of pocket money for British kids was about 5.89 pounds (62 yuan) a week. |
In 2009 | It was 6.24 pounds (66 yuan). |
In 2007 | It was 6.58 pounds (69 yuan). |
In 2003 | Parents gave children an average of 5.79 pounds (61 yuan) a week. |
However, children are not too worried about it, according to the survey. Almost half of them believe they get the right amount. Only 42 percent say they would like to have more pocket money. Most kids like to compare their pocket money with their friends. In the survey, 37 percent believe their friends get more money than they do.
Although they are receiving less pocket money than before, most British kids still keep the good habit of saving, according to the survey.
10% | They save all their pocket money. |
25% | They save at least half. |
35% | They will save money to buy something they really want. |
"It is good to develop the habit of saving at a young age," said Flavia Palacios Uman, one of the researchers. "You will benefit later in life because your savings will add up over time."
