Today is 1st June. Betty and Jenny are in Paris. They arrived {#blank#}1{#/blank#} days ago.

    Yesterday, they visited the Louvre Museum. And in the evening, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their dinner in a French restaurant.

    This morning they went to the street {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Betty loved them. And she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her grandma a present. In the afternoon, they went to the Eiffel Tower by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

Tomorrow they're going to visit a famous palace and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a trip on the River Seine by boat.

    Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Lanzhou, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    The purpose of these overhead bridges is to enable passengers to cross the road {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Overhead bridges are used in the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient {#blank#}3{#/blank#} less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient, especially to old people. When passengers are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the same time.

    The government of Lanzhou has {#blank#}6{#/blank#} lots of money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by running across the road. Old people, however, may find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a little difficult to climb up and down the steps, but it is still {#blank#}9{#/blank#} safer than walking across the road.

    Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Passengers, both old and young, should make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of using them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
