B [2015 .孝感改編]

       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 50yuan 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.

() 26. 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 cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

() 27. 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.

() 28. 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.

() 29. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

   A. Because people don't pay much attention to rules.

   B. Because there are too many people on the road.

   C. Because the red light lasts too long.

() 30. 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. call on people to obey the traffic rules

   A study shows that today's children play outdoors just half as much as their parents did when they were young.

They stay indoors most of their time. They watch TV,play computer games and,in some cases (情況) , even do their homework. Figures show that in the 1970s and 1980s children enjoyed more than two hours of outside play on weekdays,and even nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is. But today's youngsters (年輕人,小孩) stay outside for just over an hour on weekdays,and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

   It also shows that 58 per cent of parents wish their children played outdoors more often,and they seriously worry their children don't spend enough time playing outdoors.

   In fact,playing outdoors is so important for children—not only to help them stay active and healthy,but also to communicate (交流) with friends,and make those colorful childhood (童年時代) which we look back on so warmly.

    And because they don't go out,they don't know their own communities as well as their parents did,they don't have as many friends in the area and they don't have the same chances for fun as their parents did.
