Did you hear the song called Heartbeat? It's very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in the world. Zade Dirani released (发布) this song {#blank#}2{#/blank#} March 15^th 2018 to remember the seven years of war (战争) in Syria. In the song, one of the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is Ansam. She is a ten-year-old girl. When she was born (出生), she couldn't see {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. But later people found she could sing very well. She sang the song Heartbeat with another 40 children. They all lost their parents in the war. In this song, children hope (希望) they can have a happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and there is no war in Syria. But many people lost their homes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the war broke out (爆发) on April 13^th 2018 again. Everybody hopes the war can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. We hope all the kids have food to eat. They can live with their parents. They can study in the classroom. They can sing under the trees and swim in the sea.

    We are lucky to live in a great {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, China. Now we have food to eat. We are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the classroom. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reading books in the library. So we should study hard and love our parents and friends.

    How to build good relationships with people from other cultures? Actually, it is important to learn some communication skill. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Learn about the culture in advance. A little knowledge can go a long way. So if you have time before going abroad or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "do's and don'ts" of that culture. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's very convenient.

    Be respectful and tolerant. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Signs of these may appear when you communicate with people from other cultures. However, it is not the time to judge people based on these differences during basic communication. Instead, respect them for what they are, and tolerate them.

    Speak clearly and slowly. But do not shout at others even if they don't understand you. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Instead, it can be seen as a rude behavior. What's more, even if there are difficulties in communicating with people from other cultures, do not treat other people as though they are stupid.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} In some cultures, looking another person in the eye when you speak is seen as a sign of honesty and interest. However, in other cultures, it may be disrespectful.

Molly Brown, a middle school student, is not happy every day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} there are too many rules. Every morning, she must get up early and make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(she) bed. After that, she usually {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(run) to school because she can't be late. After school, she can't play basketball because she has to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) a lot of classes. She can play only on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(weekend). After dinner, she has to finish her homework {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(one). She likes watching TV, but she must read {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(book) before she can watch TV. And she must go to bed before 10:

00. She never has fun. So she asks her friend Tina {#blank#}8{#/blank#} help."Your parents are too strict {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you,"says Tina,"but they make rules to help you, so you should follow {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they)."

Americans love to drive. They have drive- in movie theaters and drive- through restaurants. And they also drive for vacations. They often call it the "Great American Road Trip": the whole family gets into a car or recreational vehicle(RV,旅行房车), and goes on a summertime trip across the country.

American cars are always big, but RVs are the biggest. These are houses on wheels. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. All across the country you can find RV parks. They are places to park your RV and spend the night. And, if you can't find a good park, you can always make your home in a grocery store parking lot(杂货铺停车场).

When your little brother kicks you in the face all night in your small bed under the table, a big RV can seem very small. And, when the dog barks(吠) and Mom plays her country music on the radio—your family is not at its best. What's worse, RVs are always breaking down.

But RV travel can be a great time with the family, too. You can see the country in the comfort of your own "home". You can spend every night in a different scenic(景色的) place, or just stay where you are. You don't have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas. But, best of all, you are free to go wherever you want whenever you want in your home-away-from-home.

Since August，driverless taxis can run on roads in cities including Wuhan，Chongqing（科技） into reality，sad China Daily.

Why do we develop self—driving cars？

Self—driving cars give us many benefits（好处）.They use computers to sense（感知） the things around them and make better use of space.This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars.For disabled（残疾的），self—driving cars can also help them get around more easily.By using computers，they can avoid unskilled，careless or drunk driving and so on.This can cut down 90 percent of road accidents，said the website TechDim.

Is self—driving cars totally safe on roads？

Self—driving cars can't react（反应） as fast as a human driver could if something unexpected（意料之外的） happens.Also，it is difficult for self—driving cars to see clearly.The car's computer could also get hacked（非法入侵），making it crash（碰撞），technology companies are working on these problems.
