Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“ Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa ?” her mother asked. Farah had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with，”Farah answered.

In the United States the most popular form of folk dancing since the early days has been square dancing. In early times, when men and women worked in groups to build a barn (谷仓) or harvest crops, they danced when the work was done. The music came from the violin for the most part, but if there was no one to play a musical instrument, clapping was used to produce the rhythm by which to dance. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn, or in a farm kitchen.
A square is formed by four couples （对）who stand facing the centre of the square. Each couple stand on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right.
The caller is an important part of the dance, since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in demand（被需要）.
These are the names of some of the steps the dancers do: Form a square; Circle; Honour your partner; Swing your partner; Form a star. There are many more. As the callers tell the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern（图形）he calls.
Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people.
Special clothes are worn by some when dancing. This makes the dance more colourful to watch. The special clothes are different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colours with a pretty blouse. Men have coloured shirts and
western trousers that they wear only when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.
Today in some parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or groups square dancing for fun.

There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.
Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”，or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar，but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going out of your mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.
But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood，but are you OK with them being on the playground？Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area that they gather. Let’s face it：you don’t want your child to play ar ound people or people’s children that curse(咒骂)or hit each other. Sometimes you have to
protect your child against your own neighbors.
Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them，but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors，they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick(砖)house，than the people，in the house on the corner，that no one ever sees. 68．This passage is mainly to tell us________.
A．how to keep your child safe in the neighborhood
B．how to set a good example to your neighbors
C．how to get along with your neighbors
D．how to teach your child to protect himself
69．The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A．becoming very excited B．becoming very worried
C．becoming very disappointed D．becoming very relaxed 70．From the third paragraph we can know that________.
A．it is important for you to be polite to your neighbors
B．people in the same neighborhood are quite different
C．people like enjoying themselves on the playground
D．knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe
