For many Chinese people, potatoes are considered as a kind of vegetable. But in the future, this will no longer be the case（情况）. Potatoes will be added to China's list of food products, like rice, wheat and corn. And potato starch（淀粉） will be mixed into bread, steamed buns（馒头）and noodles to suit（适合） Chinese people's tastes and eating habits.

    Perhaps you've already watched or heard about Readers 《朗读者》，a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage, as well as tell the touching stories behind them. They can read everything, like poems, books and letters.

    Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions(朗读亭)are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi'an.

    The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone in it and it records people's voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.

    People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People's Daily. "Reading should be just like singing and talking," said Dong Qing, the host of the show. "We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud."

    Both the TV show and the pavilion are promoting(推进)reading among the public. In fact, our country is also trying to do that now.

    Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road and at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians(行人)safe.

    The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don't ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt(安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.

    Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim(格言)for all road users is "Thinking about others."
