“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(喇叭声) 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(乱穿马路). 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.
小题1:The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “ ”.| A．road | B．bridge | C．crossing | D．traffic |
小题2:The writer saw people in Shanghai that day.| A．crossing the road in a mess | B．waiting for the green light patiently | | C．crossing the road with chickens | D．hurting each other in the street |
小题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 |
