“Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason’s school. All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said. ”“Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent  cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid （避免）hitting other vehicles （车辆）or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk. ”

“It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot－pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street. ” “Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear. ”

“The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey （遵守）them, we should not have accidents any more. ”

Ding-Dong!
“Jason, honey? Can you answer the door?”
"I am busy, mom!" Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to his point in the game. He couldn’t stop now.
Ding-Dong! Jason’s mother came to the front door.
"Jason, it’s your friend, Todd,” Mum called out. Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room. "Jason! I need a friend for playing basketball." He sounded excited.
Jason said angrily, “No way, Todd. I’m playing a game here.” Todd shook his head, “you can play later, let’s go.” Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away. “I almost died because of you!” Todd looked at Jason's mother. Jason's mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. But he just played his game.
An hour later, Jason's father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn't even hear his name being called to the table. He didn't hear his father walk up
behind him and ask him to turn the game off, either. When the screen suddenly went black and his father's angry face appeared in front of him, Jason finally heard. "No more game for a month." Jason's father shouted at him. "You don't play basketball, you don't come to dinner, and you don't do your housework. We'll make sure everything else gets done before you play any more.”
Jason nodded slowly. He knew better than to quarrel with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been playing quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down (使失望) his friends, his family, and himself by playing too much.
He'd try harder in the future.
