　　A

　　Dorris Francis is known as the “traffic heroine” in Ghaziabad, a suburban area near the Indian capital Delhi. Ms Francis is not a police officer

　　1

　　she manages traffic in the same spot day after day, on a busy intersection（十字路口） of roads. The intersection has

　　2

　　significance for her — it is the same place where her daughter Nikki was

　　3

　　in an accident in early 2010.

　　Ms Francis is

　　4

　　and looks in complete control as she ensures the smooth and safe passage of traffic in the area. “I know about her story; she works

　　5

　　. She asks no rewards doing this

　　and dull work. I haven’t seen many who have the

　　like her. I don’t

　　her instructions and the traffic looks orderly. She even gets tough with them, sometimes even mildly

　　17

　　reckless pedestrians（行人） and drivers with a stick.

　　“It’s been more than six

　　18

　　since I started after my daughter’s death. My

　　19

　　is to save lives and not let any mother lose her daughter, husband or son. And that’s what I have been doing and I will continue to do as long as I have

　　Spring is around the corner in Japan! At least for now, the weather is getting

　　1

　　and everything is coming back to life.

　　2

　　is apparently in the air in Japan as well. It is time for Japanese to celebrate their

　　3

　　Valentine’s Day.

　　Japan抯 Valentine抯 Day

　　4

　　from that of other countries. In Japan, only women give chocolate to men on February 14th ?including

　　i

　　5

　　workmates and relatives. There are two types of chocolates: “Giri-choco” (obligation (恩惠，义务，责任) chocolate), and “Honmei-choco”. Giri-choco is

　　6

　　to be for friends, colleagues, bosses, and close male friends. “Giri”

　　7

　　for obligation in Japanese, so this Giri-choco has no

　　8

　　involved. On the other hand, Honmei-choco is designed to be given to a boyfriend,

　　9

　　, or husband with true love. Japanese women often

　　10

　　the Honmei-choco by themselves as many of them think it is not true love

　　11

　　they just buy the ready-made chocolate at shops. But young girls also buy from shops. You will see large displays of chocolate, often heart-shaped in department stores from

　　with a large variety of cooking tools and women! Now you may think that it seems

　　, the men, in response, give chocolates to women on White Day, which is a month later on March 14th. More often the

　　16

　　of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. Again, department stores have many advanced

　　17

　　with gift displays, so men will have no

　　18

　　to forget about this special day which is important for women. To the guys, if you receive chocolate — you will be expected to
