RULES
1 After a busy day at work, I got on the train to go home. I went to a quiet area in order to read. I sat down and took out my book.
2 Suddenly, a girl opposite me started playing loud music on her phone. What a shock! I almost jumped up in surprise.
12
3 A minute later, the man next to me took out several packets of food. It was like he was on a picnic. People have to eat, of course. but the food was so smelly! It was like sitting next to a mountain of blue cheese.
13
4 I covered my ears in order to block the noise coming from Rock Girl. I covered my nose so as to reduce the smell coming from Mr. Smelly Food.
5 Then a boy behind me started to kick my seat. My anger grew. My face turned as red as a tomato! I asked him to stop. However, his mother replied, “Come on, he's just a kid."

6 I turned around so as to see the other passengers' faces. They also seemed unhappy, but no one did anything. Will they think me a fool if I do something? I looked at the signs on the wall. They read “Please be quiet", “No smelly food" and “Please look after your children". Everyone knows the rules, I thought. They aren't just on the wall but also in our minds and hearts. And rules are there for us to follow!
7 Suddenly, I felt brave. I took a deep breath, stood up and cleared my throat...

1 What do you think will happen next in the story?
2 Have you ever seen people break some rules?
What did you do?
Learning to think for question 1
To guess what happens next in a story, use information you know. You can think about characters' actions and thoughts. You can also consider causes and effects within the story.
Think and share
1. What do you think will happen next in the story?
I think the writer will stand up and tell people to follow the rules. Maybe he will ask the girl to turn down the music, the man to stop eating smelly food, and the boy to stop kicking his seat.
2 Have you ever seen people break some rules? What did you do?
Yes, I have seen people break rules before. Sometimes people talk loudly in libraries or throw trash on the ground. When I saw this, I reminded them to follow the rules.
1. After a busy day at work, I got on the train to go home. 在一天忙碌的工作后,我坐上了回家的火车。
Language points

2. I sat down and took out my book. 我坐下并拿出了我的书。
take out意为“拿出,取出”,take out是“动词 + 副词”结构,若宾语是名词,名词位于out前后都可以;若宾语是人称代词,人称代词应位于take与out之间。

当noise泛指“噪声;嘈杂声”这种笼统的概念时,常作不可数名词。
