“   19    the many angels(天使), I chose the best one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. ” God replied.

 “But here in heaven(天堂), I do    20     else but sing and smile! That’s enough for me to be happy.”

God said, “Your angel will sing and smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and you’ll be   21  .”

The child said, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me   22    I don’t know the language that men speak?”

God told the child, “ Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear, and with     23    patience(耐心) and care, your angel will teach you   24   .

The child said, “I’ve    25    that on the earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”

God said, “Your angel will protect you  26   it means risking her life(冒生命危险).”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more.”

“Your angel will always talk to you about    27   and in face, I will always be next to you.”

At the momen0t there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked, “ Oh , God, since I am about to    28   now, please tell me my angel’s    29    !”

Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?
On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are much stricter than the old ones.
Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.
From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.
The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的). They have a speed limit of 80 km per hour on highways and 60 km per hour on normal roads.
There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid box and a GPS.
Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.
The most serious accident happened in November in Gansu, when a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.
