Do you like taking photos when you travel to a new place? Photos are a good way to keep your beautiful memories of a certain place. But you can't simply take photos everywhere.

Many people take photos in theaters, but this is actually not a good thing to do. The copyright（版權(quán)）of the shows needs to be protected. And taking photos during a show may also trouble others.

In museums, if there are“No Photos”signs, you should keep your camera off. Even if there are no such signs and you really want to take photos, at least turn off the camera’s flash. The flash can be bad for the antiques（古董）.

If you are going to travel abroad, remember not to take any photos at custom. In many countries you will face heavy punishment if you do it.

Also, when you are visiting a church（教堂）, it’s very impolite to take photos. If you are a fan of street snapping, be careful. Not everyone likes a stranger taking photos of them. Before taking a photo, ask him or her for permission.

Taking photos is not a bad thing, but you don't want to get yourself in trouble by doing it in the wrong place.

If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of watching and knowing about birds. Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we'd better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it's better to use binoculars (雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡).

But how do we make a bird nest? A good bird nest must be very fine, strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these:

·Each nest must have six boards (木板) for its cover and floor, for its left and right sides, and for its front and back sides. Don't make the boards too slippery (滑的).

·Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a "door". The "door" is big enough so birds canfly in or out easily.

·Make sure the rainwater can't go into the nest.

· One piece of the board should be easy to open.

· Don't forget to colour the nest.

1.What does the word “nest” mean(意思是)?

A.巢 B.網(wǎng) C.羽毛

Some new rules on traffic came into effect on November 1 in Shenzhen. Some drivers say Shenzhen has become a terrible place for them. Others say that they will soon use up 12 points and lose their driver’s license(駕照), no matter how carefully they drive.

A new rule punishes three hundred yuan(US $32)on anyone who doesn’t use the turning light for at least 3 seconds before changing lines, making a turn or stopping the cars. Drivers say the rule is too strict because it’s impossible for them to count the number of seconds while driving.

The new rules increase some punishments. For example, if the driver doesn’t slow down before passing crossings, he will be fined 500 yuan while 300 yuan was enough in the old rules.

However, the punishment is reasonable and necessary for the city to improve traffic safety and reduce deaths and hurts. Shenzhen has been taking the lead in China to carry out strict traffic rules. It’s worth doing so because traffic accidents have largely dropped over the years.

In 2017. the number of deaths from traffic accidents in Shenzhen reduced to 346 from 416 in 2016. In 2018, the number further dropped to 277, for the first time in 10 years that the yearly traffic death had dropped below 300.

Drivers have shown respect for the new traffic rules – you can see most drivers now give way to people who are crossing the road. The first thing a driver should do when sitting behind the wheel is to think about the human lives that may be lost if he or she doesn’t drive carefully enough, rather than the punishments and points.

1.What are some drivers’ opinions on the new traffic rules according to the 1st paragraph?

A.They think the new rules are reasonable.

B.They think the new rules are necessary.

C.They think driving will be more exciting.

D.They think driving will be more difficult.

2.How much more should a driver pay than before if he doesn’t slow down before passing crossings?

A.32 USD. B.300 yuan. C.200 yuan. D.500 yuan.

3.What’s the writer’s advice to the drivers according to the last paragraph?

A.Drive carefully, or you will be punished.

B.Drive carefully, or you will lose points.

C.Drive carefully, or human lives might be lost.

D.Drive carefully, or driving license might be lost.

4.On which page of Shenzhen Daily may we most probably read this passage?

A.International. B.Local. C.Sports. D.Music.
