has been sent to jail (监狱) and will stay there for six months for drunk driving.
   "I"ve nothing to say for myself and I"m willing to be punished (惩罚)," he said when he was standing in the
court. "What I want to say is that I feel sorry for what I"ve done. I thought alcohol (酒精) could bring me
freedom but never realized drunk driving could take away others" freedom. And now I"ve lost my own freedom
because of drinking. I"ll obey the new road safety rules and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading
(劝说) others not to drive after drinking."

阅读理解。     The number of women over 65 who are still working has increased by more than a third in the past ten
years. Do these women really like working? Women live longer than men, so they have to save more money
for their retired (退休的) lives. Women earn (挣) less, so they save less. And they work few years because
they have to look after children or elderly parents.
     How can we help women find a way to retire when they want to? Here are some thoughts:

their income (收入) if they had a chance to receive financial (财经的) education.
     (3) Non-working women can invest (投资) up to $5,000 every year to increase" their income.

阅读理解。     Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are
old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can"t see or hear very well. Children
usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the
road.
     How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they
shouldn"t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For
the pedestrians (行人), it"s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when
we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before
crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road
is clear can we cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It"s not safe to run. If people run
across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the
road, and never play in the street. 1. Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road? A. Stop and look both ways.
