    As Kate was coming out of a shop, a young lady walked towards her. She said she was

Miss Green－a good friend of Kate's sister's. Kate1her. Then she called a taxi to send Kate home. She told the driver where he should go. But Kate was 2 that it was not in the direction of her home.

    "3 ?" Kate asked, full of doubt. The lady smiled.

    When they came to a quiet road,  a big rude man 4  on the road. He stopped the taxi driver, knocked him down, tied him, and threw him out of the 5 . At the same time, Miss Green took out a knife and 6  it to Kate. She asked Kate to keep quiet. The man then started the taxi.

    "Oh, God! I'm being kidnapped (绑架)," Kate said to herself.

    She tried to escape, but she didn't succeed. Suddenly an 7 came to her. She took out a lipstick（口红） from her pocket, wrote "SOS" on the window, and covered the word with her back.

    A few minutes late, a police car 8  and the policemen saw the sign. When the kidnappers saw the policemen, they stopped the taxi, jumped into the grass, and 9.

    The policemen then picked Kate up and sent her home. When her parents knew what had happened, they were greatly surprised. But they were 10 because their daughter had finally come back safely.

    Today.an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the " Heads-down Tribe (低头族)". Are you a head-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined（罚款）. Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$ 3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively（分别地）

As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also，more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the "Heads-down Tribe". Let's have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile Phones. It's strange that they don't talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

    Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let's be "healthy" users and try to be the "Heads-up Tribe".

    2） During Class   Pay your attention to what your teacher is saying and "the signal words" that tell you what your teacher is going to say. It is important to write them down in your notes. Examples of signal words are "The important point……" and "Remember that……", and so on. Be sure to write in your notes the information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes.
