"I am going to have a small party at my home next Wednesday evening. Would you and your

I think. But I will t.elephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she wants to go somewhere else that
evening." So Mr Brown went to the other room and telephoned.

     "What is the matter?" said Mr Jones. "Did you speak to your wife?"
     "No," answered Mr Brown, "She wasn't there. My small son answered the telephone. I said

And you see, it's time to go home."

      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……之内) 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).
