Special Talent

His friends had already _______ theirs, but Tom still had a problem with what to write about.

Earlier in the week, Tom had been helping his friends with their _______. Betty came over for help and to enjoy Tom's amazing milkshakes. Tom suggested that she should write about drawing because Betty drew wonderful pictures. Betty was pretty pleased and went home _______. Tom washed the milkshake glasses.

Tom sighed (嘆氣). He thought about the time he had with Scott at the library a couple of days ago. Scott was worried about his project. Tom _______ him to write about swimming because he was a very good swimmer. Scott hurried home to work on his project.

Tom still couldn't _______ out what his special talent was. He thought about his friend.

Ellie, who he walked to school with last week. Ellie tap-danced (跳踢踏舞) along beside him. Suddenly, Ellie stopped because she was upset about her project. Tom told her to write about dancing. Ellie was so happy that she leaped(跳) into the air and danced the rest of the _______ .

However, Tom still couldn't decide on his special talent. Finally, he had an idea.

The next day, everyone _______ their projects, and so did Tom.

"It took me so long to decide that I started to think I didn't have one. "

"But. . . I do have a special talent. "

'I'm good at helping my friends," he said. "All of the things I do are much more fun because I do them with my friends."

The whole class clapped (鼓掌). His friends clapped louder than everyone else.

"You forgot something _______, Tom," said Betty. "You make the best milkshakes."

The Rules of British Roads

British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 out of 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK.

This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are some pieces of advice for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

◆People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts (環(huán)島).

◆British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a line of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called "jumping the line". You must wait for your turn; or people may get angry with you.

◆You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.

◆If another driver flashes (閃爍) his car's lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn (喇叭) much because they think people who do so are rude.

◆If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison（監(jiān)獄).

1.How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage?

____________________

2.Which side do British people drive on?

____________________

3.If a driver jump the line, how will other drivers feel?

____________________

4.Why don't British people like to use their car horn much?

____________________

5.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

____________________
