There are so many bikes, cars and buses on the roads, so we must obey the traffic rules all the time.

    Children under 12 cannot ride bikes on the street. When we ride bikes, we should keep both hands on the handlebars(把手).①We should ride bikes on the right of the road in our country.

    ②Like drivers of cars or buses, we must follow(遵循) all traffic signs. All of us know we must not turn left or go across the street at a red traffic light. Usually we can turn right, but we shouldn't ride too fast. If we want to turn or stop, we must give a sign to others.

    The Grand Canyon(科罗拉多大峡谷) is a large river canyon in Arizona. It is over220 miles long and over a mile deep in some places. Its widest point is 18 miles wide. The canyon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

    Over millions of years, the Colorado River wore away rocks as it passed through the area. Slowly, the river made the path deeper and deeper. Now, the canyon is surrounded by steep walls on either side, while the river continues to flow at the bottom of the canyon.

    Besides its large size, the Grand Canyon is also known for its magnificent colors. The canyon is made of layers of rock(岩层), and each layer of rock has a different depth and color. Geologists have identified almost 40 different layers of rock exposed by the rivers erosion.

    The climate in canyon area is primarily desert, with both high and low temperatures. The upper rims of the canyon often receive snowfall. The air quality is usually very high, although dust storms and smoke from fires can change the air.

    The Grand Canyon is home to a variety of plants and animals. Plants range from various species of cactuto pine forests. Many types of animals live in the area, including the bald eagle, bobcats, bats and gila monsters. Six different kinds of rattlesnakes have been found in the area.

    Today, the canyon is part of the Grand Canyon National Park. About five million tourists visit the park each year.

    Have you ever had a surprise party? Didn't it feel great to be surprised by all your friends and family? Especially when you thought they'd forgotten your birthday.

    A surprise like a party or a gift or a phone call that is unexpected somehow feels better than you were expecting. ⑴Those are the surprises that I like the most.

    You should surprise people. You'll probably make their day, and it might make your day.
