    A truck is running across the Steel Bridge. David Fisher and Anna, his 3-year-old dog, are sitting quietly in the truck. This evening's work has been 1. They collected two bags of garbage.

    Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区) rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities.

    In Qingdao, a coastal(海岸的) city in Shangdong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of "Airparking", an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.

    Through a special app, users can either share or order a parking place. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit(限制) on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average (平均的) parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.

    Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.

    Have you ever heard of anything about crying marriage(哭嫁)? It sounds surprising, doesn't it? In fact, the custom of crying marriage a long time ago in many parts of Sichuan Province, Southwest China. And it remained popular till the end of the Qing Dynasty.

    Sometimes, you can still see it happening in some far away from cities if you are lucky enough. Though it is not popular as before, the custom can still be seen by people in many places, especially in the villages of Tujia people. They regard it as something has to be done when a marriage happens.

    It is same in different places of China. According to the tradition, every bride(新娘) had to at the wedding(婚礼). If not, the bride's neighbors would look down upon as a girl from a poor family. And she would be laughed at all the villagers. In fact, her mother sometimes beat the bride for not crying at the wedding.

In a , crying at weddings is a way to set off for happiness. The bride doesn't really feel sad in her heart. , in the marriages of the old days of China, quite a lot of brides indeed cried over their unlucky marriages and even their bad life.

    On October 28, 2018, a serious traffic accident happened in Chongqing. A bus and a red car collided(碰撞) at the second bridge of the Yangtze River. The bus ran out of control on the bridge and crashed into the river. All 15 passengers and the driver in the bus were killed.

    At the beginning of the accident, many people doubted that the red car was going the wrong way, causing the bus to fall into the river. Others guessed that the accident was caused by the driver's sudden illness. However, a few days later, based on the black box saved from the scene of the accident, together with the traffic records, the police announced the truth.

    Before the bus reached the bridge, a female passenger had a quarrel with the bus driver because she missed her station, but the driver refused to stop the bus. So they got into a fight. Because the speed was very high, the bus was out of control.

    People from all walks of life paid more attention to the accident and expressed their opinions. Some people think the woman passenger made the trouble without reason. She was regarded as the chief culprit(罪魁祸首). She shouldn't argue with the driver. Some people think drivers shouldn't fight with passengers and they should keep calm and put the passengers' safety first at any time. As for the other passengers, they failed to dissuade(劝阻) them in time. Maybe they didn't know the result would be so serious.

    Nowadays, hundreds of people die or get injured(受伤) on the roads every year in China. In my opinion, all of us should follow the rules and put the safety in our heart.
