When you sit in a car, remember to wear your seatbelt (安全带). Even (即使) the trip is short, you still need to wear the seatbelt. It is the most important.
Here is some another important rule: Sit in the back seat. Children 12 years old and younger need to sit in the back. It is the safest place to be.
When you are in a car, you still need to remember these rules, such as no jumping, no running around, and no throwing things out of the window. If you do such things, the driver may not drive carefully and you may get hurt.

Invitations are important. They help us to make and to keep good relationships.
When people accept an invitation to a dinner or party, they will ask what they can bring. Adults (成年人) often take flowers, chocolates, or a bottle of wine to say “thank you”. People usually take a birthday present to a birthday party. Teenagers and children often take some candy, cookies or computer games to share with their friends. Teenagers also take CDs of their favorite kinds of music with them.
After a dinner or birthday party, most people telephone the host to say “thank you”. Some people write a short thank-you letter or send an e-mail to the host.

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there is too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview—if it is long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (笼统的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here is how to preview.
Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing does not give you all the information. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it is short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your everyday paper.
Here is how to skim.
Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
Pick up only a few key words in each line.
