Dear Li Min,

    Thank you for tell        me so much about your best friend Gao Jun. Now, I'll tell you nothing        about my best friend Li Ming.

Li Ming is a fifteen-years-old        boy. He comes from Beijing. He's outgoing(外向的)and we get on well for        each other. He is very funny, and he always makes us to laugh       . At school, he is a       excellent student. She        often helps us with our English. At home, he often helps his mother do some houseworks       . By the way, he is especially good at playing football, and we often plays      it after class. Most of my classmates like him very much. I'm very happily       to have a friend like him.

                                                  Yours,

                                                  Zhang Hua

根据短文理解回答问题。

Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason's school. All the students ha d to take part in a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said.

“Most traffic accidents shouldn't happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting other cars or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk .”

“It's not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.”

“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you s hould check behind you to make sure there aren't any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.”

       “The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey them, we should not have accidents any more.”

Is it good to be in the middle? Sometimes, no, like when you're in the middle seat on a long car ride. But sometimes,       , like when you're in the middle of a great movie. What will happen next? Middle school is        bit like that.

Middle school is called middle school        it's in the middle of your school years. Elementary school is        you. High school and possibly college still await(等待) you. Middle school often includes sixth, seventh, and eighth       , but you might go to middle school earlier or later, depending on how it's done in your area.

    For a kid, going to middle school is often a big change:

       ·First, it often means moving to a new       , which takes some time to adjust(调整) to.

      ·Second, it may mean taking a different bus, with different students.

      ·Third, the friends you        in elementary school may end up going to different middle schools.

    All that can make you        a bit scared on the first day of school.

Other things that probably will be different are the teachers and the work. Have you heard that middle school teachers are really mean and the homework is really, really       ? Oh, dear. We've heard those, too, but usually they're not       . Yes, you'll like some teachers better than others, but middle schools are not special for teachers!
