Being safe at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge(知识). If you remember the
following information, your life will be much safer.
◆Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside. Make sure
where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them quickly.
◆Don’t use earphones when running in the school yard or on the street. You will keep yourself
from the outside world and can be easily surprised.

back. When buses are full of people, it is easy enough for others to get the things in your bags on your
back.

know that you know he or she is there. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go
home directly. You are safer on the street than you are at your home.

buses leave. This stops a stranger from studying you. On buses, don’t sit alone: sit behind the driver or

①They may look like something out of an amazing movie, but
narwhals (独角鲸) are very real animals. Here are some fun facts about
narwhals.
②Narwhals change color a few times during their lives. When they’re
born, most baby narwhals are blue-gray. But as they grow older, their color
changes to blue-black, while adult narwhals are usually gray with dark
spots. Old narwhals are almost all white.
③Like elephant tusks (长牙), a narwhal’s tusk is a tooth. It can grow as long as 3 meters.

▲ . They use tusks to attract female narwhals. Narwhals also use their tusks to hit fish so they
can catch and eat fish easily. And some narwhals even have two tusks!
④Narwhals are among the deepest diving( 潜 水 )whales, reaching depths of about 1,500
meters—although some can reach depths of over 1,700 meters, according to the University of
Washington. Narwhals usually stay less than 50 meters from the water, however. But they can stay
underwater for 25 minutes before needing to come up for air!
⑤Living in the cold Arctic waters of Greenland, Norway, Russia and Canada, narwhals don’t
have a dorsal fin(背鳍). The absence(缺乏) of a dorsal fin makes the narwhal prevent heat loss and
helps them to swim under the ice.
⑥Known as the “unicorns of the sea”, narwhals are really interesting animals you must watch
when you take a trip to the Arctic Circle.

Dear Millie,
Today I am glad to tell you something about our labor classes.
Our school has given labor classes for over one year. I think it’s important. We
can learn some life skills and develop good habits. Both will help us a lot in the
future.
We have labor classes once a week. During labor classes, we mainly learn to do
housework and fix things. Our school also holds competitions to show our skills once
a term. Such activities make our school life more colorful and meaningful.
Things have changed a lot since we had labor classes. In the past, my parents
cleaned the room and put away things for me after work. When something went
wrong in my house, I only waited for my parents’ help. Now I always tidy up my
things on my own. When I am free, I cook meals for my family. We are all very happy
when we enjoy meals. When something doesn’t work, I can fix it all by myself.
Take care and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
