3．We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers．Our car was full of flowers inside!On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights，and there my wife saw the bookshelf．
It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop．"Buy it，"she said at once．"We'll carry it home on the roof-rack（車頂架）．I've always wanted one like that．"
What could I do？Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer，and the bookshelf was tied onto the roof rack．It was tall and narrow，quite heavy too．
As it was getting darker，I drove slowly．Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea．
After a time my wife said，"There's a long line of cars behind．Why don't they overtake（超車）？"
Just at that time a police car did overtake．The two officers（警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past．But then，with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic．The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）．One of the officers came to me．
"Right，sir，"he said．"Do you need any more help now？"
I didn't quite understand．"Thanks，officer，"I said．"You've been very kind．I live just down the road．"
He was looking at our things：first at the flowers，then at the bookshelf．"Well，well，"he said and laughed．"It's a bookshelf you've got there!We thought it was-er，something else．"
My wife began to laugh．Suddenly I understood why the police drove here．I smiled at the officer．"Yes，it's a bookshelf，but thanks again．"I drove home as fast as I could．

15．Now students'English handwriting gets worse and worse．That makes their teachers feel worried．Is your English handwriting beautiful？If not，here are four steps that really work!
◆Use paper that has lines
Using paper that has lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences．（52）E．Be sure to fill the lined space completely．And make sure those capital letters（大寫(xiě)字母） are written properly．
◆Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little．（53）DIf you write too fast，it's hard for you to stop where you should，and even worse，you may make more mistakes．
◆（54）A
When you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier．Some kids press（按，壓） down really hard when they write．That makes the handwriting not nice．Try to relax yourself and don't hold the pencil so hard．Let your writing appear nice and clean．If you do so，people will guess you are a student with a good habit．
◆Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting．You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures．Even though you have no chance to draw at school，you can practice by yourself at home．
（55）CImagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player，what do you do went fans run up to you？Give them your autographs （親筆簽名），of course!

Inside a yearbook is each student's photo．The seniors are graduating soon，and their photos appear firs．Next are the juniors，They are one year behind the seniors．Then come the second-year students．The last photos are the first-year students．The yearbook is not only about students．The teachers have photos，too．
