More and more Americans are going to work by bike. Do you know why more people are  41   bikes to work? We can answer the question in  42  ways. First, bikes don’t need gasoline (汽油), so it takes  43  money to use them. Second, a bike doesn’t  44 much space (空間), so it is  45 to find a                   place for it. And riding a bike is good for one’s  46 . People often drive their  47 to offices or to shops, but now people think riding bikes is a good way of doing sports.

It’s important for everyone to have a good neighbour. In China, there is a saying that a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor(遠親不如近鄰). I agree with it   1   from my experience (經(jīng)歷), I think it’s  2  for each one to have a good neighbor.
First, a good neighbour is a good friend. One winter day when our family moved to a new house, our neighborhood helped us to   3  some furniture(家具) and told us something   4  this neighbourhood. They invited all members of  5  family to their home and have a hot drink. They made us   6  comfortable here.
Next, a good neighbor is a good relative(親戚).When we travel, our neighbors    7  take care of our house and keep the letters for us. When they    8 , we also help them as they do. In the new neighborhood, we always    9  each other. We are just like good relatives.
Finally, I get a very important   10  from our neighbours that having a good neighbour is being a good neighbor yourself.

What would you do if a stranger gave you some medicine and it would keep you slim or help you do well in exams? Would you take it?

Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School have learned to keep themselves safe by saying “no”. In fact, what those strangers want to give them are drugs (毒品) . Drugs are dangerous to your health!

“Because teens don't know much about drugs, they might want to try them,” said Zhang Dongsheng, the director of Shenzhen Drug Control Office.

Now, many schools arrange courses or organize some activities to help students know about drugs.

Liang, 16, was a good student before trying drugs. One day, some old friends told him it would be fun. After taking drugs only once, he found it very hard to stop. Liang began to spend all his time and money on drugs. Soon, he stopped going to school and started stealing. In the end, he was put in prison.

In China, taking drugs is becoming a big problem for teens. According to a survey, about one million people in China were using illegal drugs last year, and 72% of them were young people. Worse still, there are about10,000 drug users under 16 now.

Zhang has some good advice on staying clean. He said, “Drugs are dangerous. Never try them, even if you’re curious! It is the most important for you to keep safe and healthy.”
