Heritage（遗产） is traditional customs， history and beliefs． We use the word "heritage" in many different ways． People talk about their family heritage， city heritage and national heritage．

    Today， heritage is changing， The Internet connects people around the world． In many ways this is a good thing， because we can learn about the heritage of other countries， and we can show our own heritage to the world． however， some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing． In many ways， countries are becoming more and more alike（相似的）． In most countries around the world， you can find KFC， Nike shoes， Starbucks coffee， American movies and so on． Some people think this is a good change， and others don't like it． You can decide whether or not it's a good thing．

    However， everyone wants to protect traditional heritage， and sometimes this is hard． For example，when a new KFC opens in your city，a traditional restaurant might have to close．

    That is why heritage protection is so important． Heritage protection is a simple thought． It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive． People do this in many ways． The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving（保护）old buildings． Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language， and teaching knowledge about heritage to them．

Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．

    When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

    In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

     We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）

we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't

even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away．

It seems that food deliverymen（送货员） are always in a hurry． They wear blue， red or yellow helmets and many of them don't follow traffic rules． （1）　　 They use mobile phones while driving．

    These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention． In the first half of 2017， food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai， according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau． That means every two and a half days， a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road．

    To solve the problem， food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems， noted CRI Online． （4）　　Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety． Now in Shenzhen， if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice， then he will be banned（禁止） from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year．
