I live in a city where jobs are difficult to get. And finding well-paid jobs is even1. Many people have to walk a long way to work2they can't even afford an old, used car.
Yesterday I 3one of these people when I was driving home. A man was walking down the road and trying to ask for a4from the passing cars. Two cars in front of me passed him by.5wanted to do the same, but the sight of that poor man remained in my mind for quite a moment.6, I drove back and gave him a ride.
As I drove along, we had a conversation with each other. After that, I7that the man was trying his best to support his8while working at a temporary(临时的)job. And he was going to make full use of every coin to9the house and food.
But as we came close to the house he was living in, I saw his tired eyes grow10His little girl was playing in the front yard and11into her daddy's arms as soon as he was out of the12. I was almost lost in that happy moment. I smiled, said13to them and wished them future happiness. Then I 14. That day, the journey home which used to seem so15became very short.
Now many Chinese cities have carried out (实施) a traffic rule. It is called giving way at the zebra crossing(斑马线).
The drivers need to stop when they see people walking across zebra crossings. If they don't, they will have to pay 100 to 500 yuan. They will also lose three points on their driving licenses.
In fact, this is not a new rule. China added it to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China in 2011. Why does it become more popular now? This is because there are more cameras at zebra crossings. They are like workers who can tell the drivers the rule. So many cities are working harder to carry it out.
Zebra crossings can help keep people safe. In the past three years, 3,898 people lost their lives in 14,000 zebra crossing accidents in China, reported China Daily. Most of the accidents happened because drivers didn't give way to people on foot.
With this rule, people will be safer when crossing the street. But at the same time, it is polite for people to cross the road quickly.
I had hidden the long black bag in the garage(车库) for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
lt was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to finish my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 p. m. was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would know my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged (拖) the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbors might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw and a hammer.
After much effort, my work was finally finished. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
a. Read the kids a story.
b. Had a shower.
c. Worked in the moonlight.
d. Dragged the bag from the garage.
e. Went to a party.
Tips for Writing Better Articles.
Many of us don't spend a lot of time improving our writing skills. This can be a problem when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades and benefit us later in life. The following tips can be helpful.
When we're not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don't take the time to decide if they're proper. And I think one of the best ways to check is to read the whole sentence as loudly as possible.
If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts are true. We should use dependable facts.
A common problem is that we don't like to write it again. In fact, rewriting is the best way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes. Rewriting makes our writing better, though it takes more time and more work.
lt is quite necessary for writing a good article. And such a list usually includes: Is there a proper title? Have we explained every point? Are all the parts of the article included? This can help us to make sure that we have covered everything.
But with a few simple steps, we can improve our writing skills and learn how to write better articles.
