Food deliverymen(送货员) must wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔)but many of them don't follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. In China, nearly every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

Why do the food deliverymen break traffic rules? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies(公司) and the worried customers(顾客)may be the answer. If a food deliveryman is late, he may get a 2, 000-yuan fine(罚款). If a food deliveryman gets bad reviews(评价) from customers, he may also get a fine.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to do some changes. Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen in traffic rules and safety(安全). Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice, then he can't do the job for a whole year.

Every person has his birthday. People in different countries spend their birthdays in different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They are talking about how they usually spend their birthdays in their countries.

Jack comes from Spain. "My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday , " he says. " I'm going out with my friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they will pull on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It's an old habit. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very strict! "

Mr. Sato is from Japan. He's going to be sixty tomorrow." In my country, people call the sixtieth birthday Kanreki, " he says. " It's the start of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so they always have something red for the sixtieth birthday. "

Phillip, from France, smiles and says, "I'm going to be thirty next week, so I want to ask three very good friends out to have dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often ask people out with you. In some countries, I know it's opposite- people usually take you out. "
