One day, Allan and his friend Henry went swimming in river. It was very hot. How happy they were in the
river! After they got out of the water, they played games in the sun for a while.
      On their way back, Henry saw some flowers. He liked flowers very much and ran into the green field to
look at them. Now Allan was walking by himself.
      Then he heard Henry calling out: " A snake! Help! "
      " What's wrong with you? " asked Allan.
      " A snake bit (咬) me in the leg. Come here! " 
      Allan ran over and saw a small red wound (傷口) on Henry's leg.
      " The snake was in the grass. I didn't see it."
      " Sit down quickly." Allan told Henry. 
      Allan put his mouth at the little red wound and began to suck (吸) at it. In this way he saved (挽救) Henry's

      Now the roads are crowded with cars, trucks and buses. They are not safe (安全的) for people.      
      Every day people are killed while they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and 
children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are killed 
because they are not very careful. They don't look and listen before they cross the road.       
      A car, truck or bus cannot stop very quickly. If they are going very fast,they will travel many metres (光)
before they stop. People do not always understand this. They think a car can stop within (在……之內(nèi)) a few 
metres. It is very hard for people to know how fast a car is travelling. He may think it is going slowly when it is
going very quickly.       
     The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. Then if the road is not busy at all, it 
is safe to cross. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It is not safe to run. If people run across the
road, they may fall down (摔倒).
(     ) 1. The old people are not careful and they are often killed.
(     ) 2. Children are hurt and killed because they don't look at and listen to traffic.
(     ) 3. If a car runs faster, it needs more time to stop.
(     ) 4. There is really no safe way to cross the road.
(     ) 5. People should run across the road quickly when they see cars, buses or trucks coming.
