Many rules govern (约束) drivers on American streets and highways. The most common one is the speed
limit(速度限制). The speed limit regulates how fast a car may go. On streets in the cities, the speed limit is
usually 25 or 35 miles an hour. On the highway between cities, the speed limit is usually 55 miles an hour.
When people drive faster than the speed limit, a policeman may stop them. The policeman gives them pieces of
paper, which are called traffic tickets. Traffic tickets tell the drivers how much money they must pay. When
the driver receives too many tickets, they may not be allowed to drive for a while. During the rush hour, (The
rush hour is when people are going to work or going home from work.) there are many cars in the streets, and
traffic moves very slowly. Almost every city in America has the rush hour. Drivers don"t get tickets very often
for speeding at rush hour because they cannot drive fast. |

Everybody talks about the weather; it"s the most common subject of conversation, for example, "Isn"t
it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "I think it is going to snow," All this are the common ways of
starting a conversation.
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with
each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It is going to rain tomorrow."
Another man will say, "Yes, it"s cloudy in the east.We are going to have a fine day tomorrow."
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water,he looks for something to
tell him it is going to rain; he won"t believe anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the
weather is going to clear up very quickly that they won"t sit eating their lunch while it rains.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he does not always tell us what we want,
and once in a while he makes a mistake.Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else. |
