A school bus is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so children are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them to go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to go to school.

We use teeth to eat and we need teeth to talk. But do you really know them? Let’s meet the “cool tools” in your mouth and learn how to protect them.
Unlike your brain or heart, your teeth are not ready to work when you are born. The first tooth usually comes out when a baby is 6 to 12 months old. Then more and more teeth begin to grow. Most kids have their first set of teeth at 3 years old. We call them baby teeth, and there are 20 of them. Baby teeth cannot stay with us forever. When you are 6 years old, baby teeth will start to fall one by one. They have to make room for your second set of teeth –adult teeth. You have to suffer the pain of growing adult teeth 12-13years old. An adult usually has 28-32teeth. Why pain?
A tooth with a hole is a decayed tooth(蛀牙).If you don’t clean your teeth regularly ,you’ll get one .Then germs(细菌)will build up and eat away your teeth._____________.
Tooth fairy(精灵)

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10-month –old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf …I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper?
Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火苗) I’d expected, and I couldn’t blow it out .I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad’s boots(靴子)and stamped it out
I thought I was safe until there was a HUGE hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it .However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole .Next I was grounded(关禁闭) and in trouble for months. Even worse, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.

It is very normal for people to compare themselves with others. Everyone does it, but it is important to remember that no one is perfect. Other people may look confident, but everyone feels insecure(无自信的) once in a while, even the famous people like Yao Ming. When he was young, he probably felt insecure about being too tall! Other kids in his class probably laughed at him because he was different, although I don’t know if I would have laughed at Yao Ming since he is so much bigger than me! Now, Yao Ming is rich and successful because of his height.
When I was young, I had a friend named Annie. Everyone used to call her “toothpick” because they thought she was too thin. Now, everyone is jealous(嫉妒的) of her because she is thin and beautiful, and they have to always exercise to keep from getting fat. What makes you feel insecure and different may actually be a gift and help you in life. We should celebrate what makes us special and not be afraid to stand out in the crowd.

Every January we celebrate the life of a great man, Martin Luther King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.
Dr. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta. Because he was black, he could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theaters and swimming pools in some states.
Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(牧师) who worked for equal rights for black people. He helped organize protests to change those unfair laws.
It was a hard fight. Dr. King was attracted and arrested(逮捕) many times. But more and more Americans grew to understand that it was wrong to treat black people differently from white people.
In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington, D. C. where there he gave his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. He said people should be judged by their hearts, not by their skin colors. His efforts helped bring about new laws to create equal rights for all Americans.
