同事：你今天的报道写得不错。
同事：雪梅那篇写得也不错。怎么今天雪梅没来上班呢？
同事1：她被车撞伤了，现在正在医院呢。
同事2：啊？真的，伤得重吗？
同事1：她给我打过电话。她在电话里说她只是腿和胳膊受了一些伤。
同事2：那我们一起去看看她吧。
同事1：好，我们先去买束鲜花吧。
（在医院）
同事1：雪梅，你好些了吗？
雪梅：谢谢你们来看我，我已经好多了。
同事2：你是怎么搞的？
雪梅：哎，别提了，我刚从书店出来，就被一辆车给撞倒了。
同事2：那个司机开车也太不小心了吧。
同事1：唉，现在啊，马路上的“二把刀”太多了。
雪梅：也不全怪他，我光顾着看刚买的新书了，根本没注意到有车。
同事1：现在路上的汽车太多，不论骑车还是走路你都得小心。
雪梅：我当时也是稀里糊涂的，不知怎么地就被撞倒了。
同事1：真可怕，当时谁把你送到医院的？
雪梅：旁边一个过路的人，他见我摔倒了，就打了120，叫来了救护车。
同事2：那个司机呢？
雪梅：当时，他看见我留了那么多的血，都吓傻了。
同事1：那你的伤得多长时间才能好啊？
雪梅：还好，医生说骨头没事，我猜顶多两、三个礼拜就没事了。
同事1：真是不幸中的万幸，那你也趁这个机会好好休息休息吧
同事2：对，一定要多注意休息，工作上的事情你就别操心了。
雪梅：事已至此，也没有别的办法了，只能这么想了。
同事1：时间不早了，
同事：是啊，我们该告辞了。祝你早日康复！
雪梅：谢谢你们来看我。

College1: Xiaoli, your report today was well done.
College2: Xuemei also did a good job.
Why is Xuemei absent today?
College1: She was hit by a car and is in hospital.
College2: What? Really, is it serious?
College1: She called me and told me that only her arms and legs were hurt.
College2: Then let's go and visit her after work.
College1: Ok, let's go and get a bunch of flowers first.
College1: Xuemei, are you feeling better now?
Xuemei: Thanks for coming and visiting me. I'm much better now.
College2: What happened then?
Xuemei: Hey, let's not talk about it. I was knocked over by a car as soon as I walked out of the bookstore.
College2: That driver wasn't careful enough.
College1:Hey, there are too many bad drivers on the road these days.
Xuemei: You can't blame him entirely. I was absorbed in reading the book I'd just bought and didn't really pay any attention to the car.
College1:There are too many cars on the road. You have to be careful, no matter whether you're cycling or walking.
Xuemei: I was absent-minded and got myself knocked over.
College1: Terrible. Who brought you to the hospital?
Xuemei: It was a passer-by. He saw me on the ground and called 120 for an ambulance.
College2: What about that driver?
Xuemei: He saw I was bleeding badly and was frightened silly.
College1:When will you be fully recovered?
Xuemei: Not too long. The doctor said there's no bone damage. And I guess I'll be fine in at most two or three weeks.
College1:That's something good to know among all the misfortune. And you can take advantage of the opportunity to take a good rest.
College2: Right, be sure to take enough rest. Don't worry about your work.
Xuemei: What's done is done. There is nothing I can do about it now. That's how I must think.
College1:It's late.
College2: Yes. We'll leave now. Get well soon!
Xuemei: Thanks for coming and visiting me.

Emergency Numbers
There are three emergency numbers you should remember when you are traveling in China. 110 is for police, 119 for the fire department and 120 for an ambulance. In North America and other countries, the equivalent number would be 911. You may remember in a previous lesson, Renhao saw a 110 car nearby, so he knew there must be a police officer in the area.
China is a kingdom of bicycles. There are more bikes produced, exported, bought domestically and ridden in China than anywher else in the world.
Unlike in North America, roads in Beijing were largely designed with bicycles in mind. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that the bicycle was the most common form of transportation in Beijing. So, there were large bicycle lanes that were separated from cars, and many bridges even had double layers so that bicycles and cars could keep separate from each other.
With the huge boom in domestic car production and sales these past years, traffic has become much more complicated. New expressways have been built just for cars, wher bicycles and pedestrians are strictly forbidden. Other times, what used to be a very wide lane for bicycles has now been divided into one car lane and one bicycle lane. With all the intersections and turn-offs, the two types of vehicles still have a lot of opportunity to meet, unfortunately. If you’re riding a bike, you may legally have the right of way, but it’s always best to drive defensively and be careful.
