Even this didn’t made the driver stop smiling at every passenger, including this rude “noisy”man. This made Belinda __________ interested.

One day, she asked the driver, “Sir, why don’t you throw him out of the bus?”The driver looked at Belinda and said, “He is my guest. ”

“Then at least take back you smile. You don’t have to be so nice to him!”

“Let me tell you about my dog, ” he driver said _________ . “Each time the moon shines brightly, my dog barks（狗狂叫）at it crazily. ”

In the past five years, Lord（公爵）Michael Bates, has walked in hundreds of cities to promote（推广）peace and charity. “I am not a natural outdoor person, ” he says, “but I can only walk when I have a clear purpose（目的）. ” He has walked at least 12, 000 kilometers and raised more than 460, 000 pounds（英镑）. The money has helped many children through education and sports.

In 2015, Lord Bates set out from Beijing all the way to Hangzhou and raised a total of 90, 000 pounds for children with disabilities（残疾）. And his book Walk for Peace has just come out in China. The Chinese government thanked Lord Bates for his contribution to peace and charity, as well as building the bridge of understanding between the two countries.

“Lots of people want world peace, but world peace starts with having better relations in your own society, better relations in your family, and building friendship abroad. It begins with us, ”says Lord Bates.

Street performers（表演者）used to be street musicians（音乐人）before. The history of street musicians can go back to the Middle Ages（中世纪） in Europe. They were called “ troubadours” then. Nowadays, street performers are not only musicians. They can be actors, clowns, dancers, storytellers and so on. Most people call street performers “buskers” now. People often come across buskers on busy shopping streets and near parks and watch their shows. In return, they give the buskers some money before they move on.

In some cities, buskers need a permit（许可证）while in other cities the permit isn’t necessary. Most cities welcome buskers. It is believed that in busy city — center areas, buskers can help attract more shoppers. As people stopped to enjoy street shows, they are more likely to visit the nearby shops and do some shopping there.

One day, it will be.
