    Camping in your backyard is full of fun, whatever your age is. It's great for keeping us relaxed. It offers chances to check the night sky and to be noisier than usual. It lets us have friends over to stay who might not fit inside the house! Follow these instructions and you'll have a night you'll never forget!

    Put up your tent.

    Depending on the number of family members and guests, you may need more than one tent. Tell your friends to bring their tents if needed. Follow the instructions or check out the articles on how to put up a tent on the Internet.

    Prepare your bedding.

    You'll want your guests to be able to relax in comfort. Put something soft to lie on on the floor: A blow-up air mattress or thick comforters may work well. Fill the tent with soft toys and blankets(毯子). Have lightweight sleeping bags or cotton blankets. They are especially important if you live where the night temperatures drop greatly.

    Prepare a seating area.

    If you have a picnic table, that would work best. If not, set up a few chairs and a small table to set out drinks and food. A simple choice is to lay out a blanket in the sun, so that your friends can eat and talk. Be sure the grass isn't wet!

    Make memories.

    Plan some activities. You're camping in the backyard, so it's time to make the most of being outdoors.

    Have a camera nearby to take silly photos of you, your family members, and your friends. Take one large group shot with everyone smiling and laughing. Be sure to make copies for everyone!

There are so many traffic accidents now. Many people are killed or hurt everyday on roads. It's becoming a more and more serious problem. Why?

      Sometimes drivers drive too fast or don't drive carefully enough. They talk or answer the cellphone during the driving. Some drivers drive against the red lights. What's worse(更糟的是), some drive on the road after drinking alcohol(酒) too much. Now ①“No driving after drinking; No drinking before driving” is very popular.

Many people think the main reason of traffic accidents are from drivers. Is it true?

A survey(调查) shows that the pedestrians(行 人) can also cause the traffic accidents. Some of them often walk in the roads instead of on the walkways. They get into or out of cars in the middle of the road. They walk or run in front of the fast cars. They even walk across the roads against the red lights.

Some people think that too many people cause too many accidents. However, the traffic in Tokyo shows that it is wrong. ② Tokyo(东 京) is one of the world's largest and busiest cities. The police there are strict, the drivers there are careful, the pedestrians follow the traffic rules. There are very few accidents happening there.

      Where is the safe way?
