Worries about school bus safety have drawn much attention. Now schools in some poor areas are looking 41 some other ways to go to school.
In the countryside, students are living in different places. And there isn’t enough time for school buses to go around and pick up 42 student. So the most useful way is to let students living in the 43 village take a special school bus which is for them only. And the cost is 44 by their parents and the school.
Each bus is asked to carry only five students on the same route(路线) every day. Traffic police are also making daily checks to make sure drivers don’t carry__45 than 5 students. For a bus like this, the drivers can 46 make any money. So schools pay 300 yuan to drivers every month. The rest comes from the parents’ pockets（口袋）.
The roads to the students’ homes are rough(崎岖的) and sometimes even dangerous, 47 falling rocks and narrow（狭窄的） bridges. After spending at least an hour on the road, the students finally make it home. 48 the money for taking a bus has increased and it’s not easy for parents to make money, they are glad to know that their children will 49 home safely each day. And they feel happy to see their child enjoy their time at school. But one girl says she’s seen the big yellow school 50 on TV, and wonders when she’ll ride one of her own.

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is because they can't grow much the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.
