“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭聲) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(亂穿馬路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
小題1:The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “       ”.
A．roadB．bridgeC．crossingD．traffic
小題2:The writer saw people      in Shanghai that day.
A．crossing the road in a messB．waiting for the green light patiently
C．crossing the road with chickensD．hurting each other in the street
小題3:How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?
A．He thinks it’s OK.B．He thinks it’s wrong.
C．He has no idea of it.D．He doesn’t mention it

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
短文大意：這篇短文中作者主要記述了自己在傷害看到的一幕人們過(guò)馬路的場(chǎng)景，一次來(lái)提醒我們要注意遵守交通規(guī)則。
小題1:聯(lián)系下文of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.描述，可知此處指的是兩條路的交叉路口。故選C。
小題2:根據(jù)第三段Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road.…… kept crossing the road in a mess.，描述，可知人們亂糟糟的過(guò)馬路。故選A。

Of course, today everybody uses mobile phones and computers. Some teens can’t live without these high-tech (高科技的) things.

Indian boy Piscine Patel is troubled by his first name. It sounds like a rude word, and his classmates laughed at him. He decides to change his name to “Pi”.
But Pi’s name problems are nothing compared to what is waiting for him.
Pi’s father owns a zoo. He decides to move to Canada. The family, together with all the zoo animals, set sail across the Pacific. One day, a huge storm hits the ship. The next morning, Pi finds his family has sunk with the ship. He is the only person still alive.
