On May 23,Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”.“Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights,so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour,more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang,Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk(亂穿馬路) because the red light lasts too long.Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.The_team did research on people's waiting times at different road crossings for three years.They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds(秒) before they lost their patience.“People are likely to ignore(忽視) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying,a member of the research team.

However,a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules.“I always obey traffic rules.Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers.In Singapore,the maximum can be three months in prison.Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions,too.For example,the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to respect rules is more important.To completely solve the problem,everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

1.Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?

A. To cross a road slowly.

B. To follow the basic traffic rules.

C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.

D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

2.What does the phrase “The team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A CCTV news program.

B. A research group at Tongji University.

C. A post on Sina Weibo.

D. A daily newspaper.

3.How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?

A. About five minutes.

B. Less than one minute.

C. Less than one and a half minutes.

D. More than ten minutes.

4.The writer suggests that we should ________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.

A. punish the jaywalkers

B. reduce(減少) the time of red lights

C. ignore the traffic rules

D. call on people to obey the traffic rules

閱讀下列內(nèi)容,從每小題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)最佳答案。

A friend of mine named Paul received(收到) an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(頑童) was walking around the shining car. ―Is this your car, Paul? he asked. Paul answered. Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was surprised(驚奇). ―You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish…He hesitated(猶豫).

Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for(希望). He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. "I wish, the boy went on, ― that I could be a brother like that. Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car? "Oh yes, I’d love that.

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, ― Paul, would you mind (介意)driving in front of my house? Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. ― Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(殘疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

"There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent(美分). And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.

Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable(難忘的)holiday ride.
