Traffic is not just up set for drivers, but it can be dangerous for walkers and bike riders.

You might have been a pedestrian before when you were walking to school or to a friend’s house. If you are walking near traffic, always use the side walk. Avoid walking on the edge of the sidewalk. Walk closer to buildings just to give some extra room between yourself and traffic.

What if you need to get to a different side of street? Use something called crosswalk. This is a lane that protects pedestrians. There are traffic signals at a crosswalk that will tell you when it is safe to walk and when you should wait. Even if the sign says it is safe, always look in both directions to make sure a car isn’t coming.

Sometimes you might want to ride your bike to go to visit a friend or to school. There are some important things to remember when traveling by bike to stay safe from traffic.

Always wear brightly-colored clothing. If it is dark outside and you are wearing dark clothes, a driver may not be able to see you. Use reflectors on you bike. These are small pieces of plastic that can be fitted on your tires, front handles, and other areas of your bike. They reflect the light from car headlights so that drivers can see you.

Ride your bike in the same direction as the traffic. And don’t think that traffic lights and signals are just for those driving cars! They are important for you too. So always pay close attention.

Taking part in charity is not just for grown- up people. Children can do it too! Melvin Sheppard, 14, an American student, has done charity work for eight years. He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.

Melvin studies at William Allen Middle School in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected $1,500 by himself and $487 from his classmates to donate to Cooper University Hospital.

Melvin was born nine weeks premature (早产) in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.6kg. His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he felt thankful to the hospital.

Melvin's classmates joined him as soon as they found out about his kind behavior. Their teacher, Michael Berner, also held a class with them about helping others. “It wasn’t really about the money,” Berner said. “It was about the face that they were doing something good.”

“It is great, helping someone that I know,” said Jordan, Melvin's classmate. Melvin's neighbors also helped out.

Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year. This year, Gary E. Stahl, the head of Cooper's division of neonatology (新生儿科), went to Melvin's school to accept the money.

The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year. “When they leave, we call them graduates,” Stahl said, “We are pleased when our graduates and their families do well, like Melvin and his family.”

You will never imagine sending a message can be disastrous. But in fact it is dangerous to write message on your phone while walking. A study shows that it is more dangerous than doing that over driving. Researchers found that there are more people hurt for walking than driving. The survey shows that walking is not as easy as it is. It is a little difficult. We have to pay close attention to many things around as at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk properly, so dangerous things always happen to them. They run into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes or downstairs. A researcher said walking is a difficult action. There two reasons why sending messages make walking dangerous. One is that people cannot see the street. The other is that their attention is always focused on their phones instead of their feet. Their minds are somewhere else instead of thinking about walking safely. It is said that more than 3,000 people visited the hospital last year because of sending messages with a phone.

Everyone speaks a language, but language is not just for talking. It is our most important communication tool. Through language, we can tell other people what we think, how we feel, and what we need. In fact, civilization (文明) itself depends on our ability to communicate.

In the long history of human, languages survive, grow, disappear, move from place to place, and change with time. There are about 6,000 different living languages around the world today, and there are many thousands more that are no longer in use. Languages might sound different, but they are thought to have come from a single ancient language.

Nobody knows exactly when people first started using languages. Some scientists say that people first spoke to one another about two million years ago.

Today, our complicated (复杂的) languages get fully used in the magazines, novels, science books, and movies that fill our libraries and bookstores. As humans, it is important that we can tell the long stories, which separates us from the great apes (类人猿). Other animals may use kinds of methods to communicate, but we humans can send complicated messages through space and time.

Throughout history there were many languages that served as a lingua franca (通用语)—a common language that could serve as a bridge between people of different cultures. Today, English is the main language that plays that role around the world. Many people have studied English as a second or third language.

Language helps people to work together, to share knowledge, feelings, and build up modern societies. The development of humanity’s many languages was an important process that helped humans move forwards towards civilization.
