It's very common to meet different people in public places.

 When I was 12, I got a job in a shop. On my first day at work, I didn't come home for lunch. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ,Dad asked' "Where did you manage your 1unch, dear? " I answered, "I made some new friends in the shop, twin brothers, their mom and dad. They were my customers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . "

 Dad was happy I had made new friends., but he wanted to know what kind of people they might be.

Several days later, I asked my friends to come to the shop where I worked and let Dad meet them .Dad was very surprised to find out that the twin brothers were joined at the chest.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} .

When Dad asked me about this, I said "I know that, too. But do you know that their mom has to make all clothes because it's too difficult to find anything to fit them? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . That day, Joe, the one on the right, made me noodles for lunch . "

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} .But to me, what I cared about was that they had difficulty buying clothes and they were good cooks.

Life as Chopsticks

Right now, more and more people are digging into their food with {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (二) sticks which are called chopsticks. Even people eating with knives and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (餐叉) begin to love them. What's so special about them? Because they have deep influence in many people's ways of life.

Simplicity. There's{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (几乎不) anything simpler than chopsticks.

In real life, you may have many things you want to do, but it will just be a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (梦想) if you don't try doing it.

In our life, we sometimes need slow down to have time to think, to realize that we're actually full and don't have to rush full {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(速度) through life.

    How can we students keep ourselves safe? Here are some tips.

    On your way home or to school: Wait for the g{#blank#}1{#/blank#} traffic light, and look left and right before you cross the road. If you see a car coming, don't cross until it really s{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Dress in bright colours so that the drivers can see you c{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    At school: When students around you begin to push, try to hold onto something, or stay in a safer corner. If you f{#blank#}4{#/blank#} down in a crowded place, cover your head w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} both hands.

    When there's a fire: Stay calm and leave quickly. Use a piece of wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. If your clothes catch fire, drop to the ground and roll from side to side to p{#blank#}7{#/blank#} out the fire.
