  We all hate speed cameras, don't we?They're not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents; they just make money for the government.They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.

  Well, here's a surprising thing:what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives?It's a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what's happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.

  There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.

  Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004.Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that's about 817 per million people compared with Australia's 806.

  And guess what?Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.

  Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France there's been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws.A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.

  Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it.The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming.There's even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.

  Maybe it is because of such transparency by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

If you are asked to name some national symbols of China, the dragon will probably be one of the images that come into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves “the descendent of the dragon”. Your parents hope that you “many become the dragon”.

       As a mythical(神話里的)creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial (皇帝的) power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of heaven.

20090318

 
       While Chinese believe dragons bring prosperity (繁榮) and good fortune, the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil and they trick the world. “Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles, like snakes,” said Jonathan Haagen, copy editor for the Teens. “They are cruel killers, breathing fire and capturing women. ” He added that people thought of dragons as being dishonest because of their forked tongues.

       Besides, dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters against which the hero must battle. It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight(騎士) to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle a deadly dragon and get a golden egg from its nest in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

       However, dragons are not all bad in the West. Puff, the Magic Dragon is a well-known song. It tells a bitter-sweet story of the dragon puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves, which upsets puff. “ Puff represents the innocence of a child’s imagination, which is very positive for a dragon,” said Haagen.

1.Which quality makes the dragon either a symbol in China or a monster in the West?

       A.Mysterious          B.Cold-blooded             C.Powerful             D.Dangerous

2.Why is the dragon considered a national symbol in China?

       A.Chinese often consider themselves “the descendants of the dragon.”

       B.It’s familiar to Chinese people.

       C.The deep-rooted concept in Chinese culture.

       D.It can represent imperial power.

3.The writer uses the story of Harry Potter to show us that ___________.

       A.dragons are cold-blooded and cruel

       B.the boy wizard, Harry Potter, is clever and brave boy

       C.dragons are presented as monsters in most Western works

       D.human beings always conquer monsters like dragons

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

       A.Dragons were traditionally considered to be in charge of rainfall in China.

       B.Harry Patter is thought to be a hero in Western culture.

       C.All the Magic Dragons are not bad in the west.

       D.None of the Western people like dragons.
