·When you are waiting for the bus, you should wait at the bus stop, and stand well back.

·Never go back for anything you may leave on the bus when it is starting.
·Never bend down near the bus when you walk to or from the bus stop.
·You should cross the street at a crosswalk or a street corner, and wait for the light to turn green or for the WALK crossing signal.

【小題1】When you are waiting for the bus, you should wait   .

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge．If you remember the following information，your life will be much safer．

  ●  Always notice the environment around you．You shouldn’t walk alone outside late at night．Make sure where the public phones are．If anything dangerous happens，you can find them easily．

  ●Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back。When a bus is full of people，it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back．

●If you are followed by someone you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you．Next，don’t go home at once．You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift．

  ●If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves．This stops other people from studying you．On the bus，don’t sit alone．Sit behind the driver or other people．Don’t sleep．

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the line: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus gets to Souk Road, it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus every day?
The regulations（規(guī)章）say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers（乘客）and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted（數(shù)）the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service（服務(wù)）better?
A. a message        B. a talk       C. a story      D. a letter
【小題1】The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because _________.

——What’s wrong with your coat?
——Just now when I wanted to get off the bus, the man next to me _______ on it.
