It's the week before school starts. Alice is shopping for clothes with two friends, Nina and Vicki. Alice puts on a black jacket, turns to her friends, and says, “Hey, what do you think?”

          Fifteen minutes later. Alice is still thinking about the black jacket. “Yeah, there's peer pressure to follow others.” She explains. “If your clothes or hair are different, people make fun of you. You know, they laugh and point.”
         Vicki agrees. “It's true .You even have a certain kind of boyfriend or girlfriend! I think these 'rules' are childish (幼稚的). But when you're different, you feel like an outsider. And that's hard.”

And if you want to go the other side of a road, you can have many ways: a subway(地鐵), a footbridge or a zebra c  90  . And in some places, you can see black and white poles(桿). There is a button（鍵）on each of them. You can press the button to tell the drivers you want to cross the road. They usually stop their cars to let you go.

Taxis in London are really e  91  , so if you come to London, you should have enough m  92   with you. Taxi drivers are usually friendly. They are always ready to help you. And they must take exams b  93  they become taxi drivers.

London a   94   has the biggest underground system(系統(tǒng)) in the world. It’s easy to go the w  95   way if you are not careful.

Yours

Li Bing
