One day, a woman took a bus with her son. The boy was about four years old. He ran on the bus and 1 up and down on the seat. There was a man next to them. When he saw it, he was a little 2 and told the boy not to run or jump, because it was very dangerous and it was also impolite (不礼貌). But the3said, "He is just a little kid, we shouldn't be so strict with a child." The man said to the woman, "4 we don't teach the kids now, they will not follow the rules in the future."

    Do you agree with the woman or the man? At 5, we have family rules. For example (例如), we can't6 on school nights. In the school, we also have school rules. We can't listen to music in the classroom. We 7 eat in the classroom. We must wear uniforms8 Monday to Friday. Parents and schools are sometimes strict, but remember, they make rules to help 9. We must 10 these rules.

    Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and find you have a good memory.

    Do you usually study in the living room？This is not a good place for study because it's really too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.

    Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light is important, too. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light.

    Of all the good study habits you can develop, asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.

    When do you work best？Are you an early bird, a night owl (猫头鹰), or something in between ?Find your most productive work time, and then plan to study at this time.

第2单元的主阅读Fishing with birds介绍了一种中国的传统技艺—鸬鹚捕鱼。文章结尾写道：In 50 years, perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world. 你觉得鸬鹚捕鱼这项传统技艺会消失吗?给出你的观点，提供至少两个理由，并进行适当的论证。

I'm forty. I left school 22 years ago. I don't regret many things about my school days but there are a few things I wish I'd known earlier as a girl. So here is my list of three things I'd learned at school.

□As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again until you learn. Then you start school where you are usually only praised for doing things correctly. So what happens? You stop trying new things in case you get it wrong. I always remind myself: I won't give up halfway until I make it.

□I always wanted to be the best and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I asked myself if I did things as well as I could.

□How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected. In 6 months you probably won't remember most of the things you worry about now.

The other day, my husband called me to the balcony(阳台). "Come, dear, look at that car!" 

"What's up?" I asked, looking down at the square in front of our apartment building. A driver was trying to park between two cars. 

"That must be a woman," my husband said.

"How do you know?"

"I've watched the car move back and forth twenty times. Men can't be so bad at driving!"

"What if the driver is a man?" I asked.

"I bet you 50 yuan that the driver is a woman!"

We stood on the balcony and watched the car. It felt a little silly. Five minutes later, the car was finally parked perfectly, and a man slowly got out.

"Fifty yuan please," I said to my husband as he silently walked away.

My husband is not alone in looking down on female drivers. On weekends, my friend Lily likes traveling around the city by bus. But she always hesitates to get on a bus if the driver is a woman. "I can't trust a female driver," she told me one day. "Women are not born to drive, you know."

"Sorry, but I don't know," I said. I go to work by bus every day, and I never think female drivers are any worse. In fact, they are often more careful than men. Research also shows that female drivers are 8.8 times less likely to cause accidents than male drivers.

There are not many female bus drivers, though. And in the history of Formula One(一级方程式赛车), only 0.26 percent of drivers have been women. Without role models, many girls may think they are not meant to be good drivers. But the ability to drive has nothing to do with gender. Women can drive well, too. It's time to stop making jokes about female drivers.

Did you find or lose anything? Here are some lost and found notices.
