— He __________newspaper in the study.

    I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

    It was an amazing week for my husband and me ——the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my1  to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to look after our two children and started off.

    During the week's time, we visited London and Paris ——as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful 2we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    On our last night in Paris, after we enjoyed the night view of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother3the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something4 happened.

    “What's wrong?” I asked.

    He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said5to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and 6 his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

    At that moment, Paris 7lost its charm(魅力).

    “I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home with my kids!”

    We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no 8 sight in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.

What is “Walk to School”?

    Now we are working on a program of "Walk to School". We would like as many parents and children as possible to take part, even if in a small way. Children who walk to and from school along with their parents can learn essential (基本的) road safety and life skills.

    You can take part by…

    Walking to and from school with your child every day.

    Walking for one or two days during the week.

    Encouraging others to walk, if you already do.

    Walking is great!

    Walking is great exercise! A walk is good for your body and can keep you fit.

    You won't have to waste time looking for a parking site .

    It's free. You'll save money by not using the car.

    It's pollution free.

    It's a good chance to talk to your children and to meet other parents, too.

    Enjoying walking to school!

    Here are some suggestions to help you and your child enjoy walking to school.

    Plan a safe route together.

    Teach children what a kerb (马路牙子) is and what it means.

    Encourage your child to help you choose the safest places to cross the road.

    Look at and discuss the things you see on your way－especially road signs and what they mean.

    Walk to school! Thousands of parents and children already take part, could you?
