Youll be much safer at school and in your everyday life.1)Always notice the environment around you. You shouldnt walk alone out. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them quickly.Dont use earphones when running in the schoolyard or on the street. You will keep yourself from the outside world and can easily get into trouble.When taking a bus, school bags should be carried towards the front of your bodies instead of putting them on your backs. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in the bag on your back.If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go in the other direction. Let the stranger know he or she is there. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Dont go home directly. You are safer in the street than you are in your home or in a lift.If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop only a few minutes before the buses leave. On buses, dont sit alone. You should sit behind the driver or with friends. Dont sleep.Dont play with matches or candles, because it may cause fire. If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30-60 centimeters above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner and cooler air near the floor during the fire.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（1）When you walk alone outside, youd better .

The sign is not written in Korean or English; it is written in Chinese.These signs, and signs in other countries warning Chinese tourists about their behavior, have shamed many Chinese who worry about the image of the country.Over 70 million Chinese tourists made overseas trips last year and spent $102 billion, more than the $84 billion spent by American and German tourists. For many Chinese tourists, it was their first trip abroad and they didnt know about foreign ways. And some of these tourists took their bad habits from China with them.Wang Yang, a Chinese deputy prime minister (国务院副总理), said, They (the tourists) speak loudly in public, carve words or numbers on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red and spit anywhere. It damages(毁坏) the image of the Chinese people and has a very bad influence.Before you travel to a foreign country, its important to learn some things about the country and its culture. You are guests in the country and its important to respect(尊重) your hosts. As more and more Chinese visit foreign countries, their behavior will certainly change and those shameful signs will, hopefully, disappear.（1）The sign at a Korean university is written in . A . ChineseB . EnglishC . Korean（2）How do many Chinese feel about the signs? A . Proud.B . Interested.C . Shameful.（3）The underlined word image probably means in Chinese. A . 形象B . 热情C . 财富（4）The passage is written to . A . order the Korean university to clean up signs with Chinese wordsB . advise the overseas Chinese tourists to change their behaviorC . ask Chinese people not to spend too much money traveling abroad（5）What would be the best title for the passage? A . Signs Shame Overseas Chinese TouristsB . Foreign Culture Makes Bad InfluenceC . Foreign Countries Attract Chinese Tourists四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共17分)11. （7分）根据短文内容，从方框中选择恰当的词语填空有的需要变换形式among，shame，yard，sweet，regard，honest，check outHey friends!
