Now there is a wonderful kind of road in Japan. When you drive on the road, you can listen to nice songs. There are three such (如此的) roads in Japan. One of them is near Numata city and it's about one hundred and seventy-five meters long. When you drive on it, you can hear the song—Memories of Summer. It can last (持续) 12.7 seconds (秒). The drivers all like this road very much. They say the song keeps them awake (清醒的) when they are driving. Some people drive their cars to the road only because they want to listen to the nice songs. The designer (设计者) of this road says, " You can hear the beautiful song best when your speed is 50 kilometers an hour."
It's 8: 00 in the morning. Mr. White goes into the classroom and finds Tom isn't in. Then he begins his lesson. He asks the students to read their English books.

"Come in, please," says Mr. White. "You're twenty minutes (分钟) late, Tom."
The boy is often late and every time he makes an excuse. "I am sorry, sir," says Tom. "I'm late because the traffic is bad, and I have to wait for (等待) the lights to turn green."
"But why don't you catch an earlier (更早的) bus?" asks Mr. White.

My name is Wang Hai. I am a happy boy. Let me tell you something about my school life. I usually go to school on foot. And I am never late. My morning classes begin at 8:00. We have many subjects, such as math, English, Chinese, biology and so on. Of all the subjects, I like math best. I think it's very easy and interesting. But I don't like history at all. I think it's boring. After school we often do outdoor activities. I like playing ball games. I am good at playing basketball. And I can also do some other things, like drawing and swimming. My school life is very interesting. I like it very much.
