Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?
On April 5, 2012，the State Council(国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are stricter than the old ones.
Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students go to nearby school or boarding schools to reduce traffic risks . Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.
From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80 km/h on highways and 60 km/h on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.
The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的).
There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.
A series of school bus accidents happened in China in 2011. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加强) the rules for school buses.
The most serious accident happened in Gansu in November,2011. When a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were more than 60 children inside, and 21 of them died.
I hope such terrible things won’t happen again and all of us can pay more attention to the safety of the students.What did the State Council publish on April 5, 2012?

Look at the picture of an office worker’s desk. Notice how the baskets on the secretary’s desk have labels(标签). Labels help office workers know what something is for and where something may be.
Read the labels. What do you think they mean?
In each basket are job tasks that a secretary needs to do or has completed. The labels tell her what must be done with the jobs in the drawer.
For example, one drawer has this label: To Be Done ASAP( ASAP means As Soon As Possible.) Let’s say someone needs a copy of a letter and puts it in that basket.
What would you think the secretary would do?
The secretary would copy the letter as soon as she could. Then she would give it back to the person right away. That is the main point of the label: the tasks in this drawer need to be done right away.
The other labels also have a main point.
IN: The tasks need to be done.
OUT: The tasks are finished and can go back to the persons who sent the tasks.
MAIL: The tasks must go to the post office.
TO BE FILED: The tasks must be put in the file drawers.
In which basket would you put the following things? Write the label of the basket.
| A. a contract(合同) that must be copied right away B. reports that must be filed away C. a letter that needs be signed(签字) D. an iphone 5 that should be fixed at once E. a meeting schedule that has been typed F. a user’s guide that must be sent to a buyer |

Have you ever wondered?
Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大气现象) known as the jet stream (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (=" above" sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite.
What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other buildings float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. ‘Turning off’ gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (=" top" surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.What information can we get from the first passage?
| A．It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly. |
| B．Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind. |
| C．It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY. |
| D．The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic. |
The underlined word “shoot” in the 2nd paragraph means “_________”.
| A．send for | B．move quickly | C．come out | D．grow quickly |
It can be known that without gravity _________.
| A．buildings and other structures would float away |
| B．trees and buildings would not so easily fly off |
| C．something around your head would not float away |
| D．everything outside buildings would fly off into space |
Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
| A．It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York. |
| B．The earth is moving at a high speed. |
| C．Things on the earth will float away if there’s no gravity. |
| D．Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. |
Where can we read this passage?
| A．In a research paper. | B．In a short story. |
