If you plan to take your pet on a trip,prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave,take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is tit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.
Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries, check with their consulates (領事館).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.
Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.
If you are going by plane or train,ask if pets are allowed. If they are,ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.
Choose your pet’s box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can' be chewed(嚼碎).
If going by plane or train during warm weather,try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car, be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao promised that the country would take actions to improve school bus safety on Sunday, a day after China saw its second terrible school bus accident in November, 2011.
“School buses should be safe mobile campuses(校園) for students,” the premier said at a national meeting on women and children, “Society(社會) should remember in mind that children should be the first to enjoy all kinds of social caring and the last ones to suffer from any disaster.”

The nine-seat minibus was carrying 64 people at the time of the accident, according to the reports.
The second accident, in which a school bus in the northern province of Liaoning rolled over on Friday, left 35 people injured, according to China Daily.
“In recent days, a series of big accidents involving school buses has led to great anger among the people. These accidents have also made me uncomfortable,” said Mr Wang, an old teacher from Jiangsu. And he also thought that school bus safety must become a serious problem for schools and the government.

Gao Wenqi, 49, owner of a restaurant in Xi'an, Shanxi, started to offer a new service on April 13, 2013: suspended meals (待用快餐). Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan,Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program.
You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled(殘疾人), the poor elderly or homeless children,can have it without paying.
This idea comes from the cafes (咖啡館) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra (額外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free.
“The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity(尊嚴),” said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program.
小題1:According to the passage, this program may possibly take place        .
A.in a restaurantB.at a bus stationC.in a schoolD.on a train
小題2:The suspended meals are offered to     .
A.studentsB.workersC.people in needD.the rich
小題3:The underlined phrase “in advance” in the third paragraph means “_        _” in Chinese.
A.滯后B.預先C.優(yōu)先D.勝過
小題4:It's said that the idea of “suspended meals” comes from      .
A.ItalyB.the U.S.C.CanadaD.China
小題5:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Someone who is unable to pay can ask for the suspended meals.
B.The program is meaningful and it offers help with dignity.
C.Gao Wenqi's restaurant joined the program on April 13, 2013.
D.All customers must pay an extra meal at the restaurant.

A smart diet, a healthy life
No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.
Tip One: Family Meals
Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
