He was bent over, disturbing(搅动)the water with his hands. Then now and again he would put his face in the water and bring it out again. He then moved to another part of the pool and began the same action.
The old man called out to the boy in surprise, “ What are you doing?”
“I am looking for myself,” said the boy. “My mother told me that if I looked in the pool, I would be able to see my reflection(倒影).”

In 2011, there was too much bad news from school buses in our country. We have some shame. Please look at school buses in another country. Let?s borrow some good ideas from it. We expect our children to grow healthily and be safe wherever they go!
As “a country on wheels”, vehicles play an important role in American people?s lives. Many vehicles are running quickly on the streets of the United States every day. Among them, there is a kind of vehicle with the same color and few differences in style. It is American School Bus. Striking yellow color, truck-like head and bus body form an image of solidity（结实）.
Besides “solidity”, American school buses also have important status（地位）that all the vehicles must give them way. When a school bus runs through the city and carries children to a stop point, the driver will turn on the warning light, and show the red signpost marked with “Stop”. At this time, other vehicles will keep to the side and stop, as if they meet a red light. After all the children get on or off, the school bus will drive away. And then other vehicles can go on running. President?s car is no exception.
When can we see such yellow school buses on the streets of China? 根据短文内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入答题卡相应位置。
