What was the highlight *of the Ma
y Day? It was Hangzhou Bay Bridge*, which opened on that day.
It is 36 kilometers long and the world’s longest cross- sea bridge. It begins at Jiaxing, crosses the East China Sea, and end at 
Cixi, about 70 kilometers from Ningbo. It will reduce* the driving time between Shanghai and Ningbo by about two hours.
A great number of the workers started to build it on November 2003, and ended in June 2007. Now the bridge has become famous. About 40,000 vehicles *can cross the bridge each day at first. This will be added to 100,000 vehicles a day in 2026. During the May Day holiday, many car owners came to the bridge as well as tourists on coaches*. So many people wanted to see the bridge with their own eyes.
As a shortcut *between Zhejiang and Shanghai, the bridge will not only improve traffic but also help economic *development in the Changjiang River Delta.
“People enjoy working in small cities like Cixi but living in big cities like Shanghai,” said a man. “With the help of the bridge, they can leave Shanghai for Cixi in the morning and go back in the afternoon. They only need to drive for about one and a half hours.”

What is the hottest English word these years? “Selfie" may be one of them. It was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. The word was first used in an Australian online forum in 2002. Now, almost everybody knows it.
Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to a social media website. Nowadays, more and more people are taking selfies. From your best friend to your favorite pop star, selfies are taking over Renren and Sina Weibo.
What makes people love selfies? Selfies can help to remember what's going on in their personal life. "Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone. These photos record my happy and sad moments." said Huang Xu, 16, from Hunan. Another usual reason for taking a selfie is to share online. They hope to make friends and share their feelings with others. "During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Through these photos, we got to know each other's holidays and feelings," said Wang Lin, 15, from Henan. "I'm too shy to ask someone to take pictures of me, but it's easier to do it by myself."
Although taking selfies is popular among young people around the world, they should be careful at the places where they take selfies. People are warned（警告）not to take light-hearted selfies in serious places, such as in some traffic accidents. In order to protect art works, selfie is banned in some museums and galleries, too.

The sun has just risen in the morning of another day. What can I wish this day may bring me?
