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

in an accident in early 2010.
Ms Francis is

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

. She asks no rewards doing this

in the area, tells BBC News.

drivers looked recklessi（鲁莽的） in the absence of any supervision （管理）at that time. But when Ms Francis is present after the accident, most drivers

“It’s been more than six

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
12
.
Also, stores get
13
with a large variety of cooking tools and women! Now you may think that it seems
14
that only the guys receive gifts on Valentine’s Day.
15
, 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
19
the favor!
Japanese young people are impressed by American customs of giving Valentine’s cards to all of their classmates. Now cards, candies, flowers and other gifts are also
20
among young people in these special holidays.
