Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road

-- Reported by Sheila Carrick

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.

"Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.

But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage.

Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!

The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_________.

A．wild animals have become more dangerous

B．the driving conditions have improved greatly

C．the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work

D．a(chǎn)n increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents

From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_________.

A．a(chǎn)n underground path for cars        B．a(chǎn) fence built for the safety of the area

C．a(chǎn) bridge for animals to get over a river D．a(chǎn) pass for animals to cross the road

When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_________.

A．a(chǎn)nimals begin to realize the dangers on the road

B．a(chǎn)nimals begin to learn to use ecopassages     

C．a(chǎn)nimals are crossing the road in groups

D．a(chǎn)nimals are increasing in number

The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because_________.

A．wild animals may attack cars B．wild animals may jam the road

C．they may see wild animals in the park    D．they may see wild animals on ecopassages

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.

We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.?

    For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.?

    We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.?

    Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained. “I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.” The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

1.All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.

A. poor              B. warm -hearted               C. silent                      D. cold

2.The underlined word “establish” in the 3th paragraph has the same meaning as_________.

A. keep             B. discover                          C. set up            D. accept 

3.The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.

A. they both disabled people

B. they both had some difficulty in expressing

C. they both liked bus travel

D. they both brought interest to the passengers

4.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

A. Friends of the Road                      B. The Silent Woman on the Bus

C. Going to Work by Bus                     D. Different Kinds of Friendship

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes；one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The Federal Highway Administration（FHWA）advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears .

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.

1.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.

B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.

C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.

D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

2.What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?

A. Fixing more traffic lights.

B. Providing more crosswalks.

C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.

D. Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.

3.What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the test?

A. There’re many cars and buses on the road.

B. Pedestrians are careless.

C. Crosswalks are crowded.

D. Drivers don’t give way.

4.The report from NHTSA suggests that              .

A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks

B. crosswalk safety has been greatly improved

C. much has been done to reduce traffic accidents

D. pedestrian deaths in crosswalk remain a serious problem
