few seconds before stepping on the brakes and stopping his car at a crossing on beijings changan avenue, even though the traffic light was still green. the light turned yellow a second later. for many drivers, passing through traffic crossings has become a guessing game since new years day. from jan 1, new traffic laws mean all drivers in china that run a yellow light will have six points deducted (扣除) from the 12 given to their license. drivers who run yellow lights will receive the same six-point punishment as those who run red lights. those who forfeit 12 points over a calendar year will have to attend training courses and take exams organized by the local traffic management bureau. the rule was named chinas harshest traffic rule by many online observers. the new rule also gives strict punishments for speeding, covering up the license plate, making phone calls while driving, and drunken driving. the punishment for covering up a license plate is 12 points.on the day the new rules came into force, drivers followed the rules and commonly seen violations, such as ignoring traffic lights , were seen less frequently, according to a report by xinhua news agency. the report said the number of accidents decreased sharply on tuesday in five major cities beijing, tianjin, nanjing, hangzhou and jinan from the previous day. moreover, no severe accidents were reported.

do for television？the industry was intrigued by wednesdays announcement that episodes of the hit abc shows desperate housewives and lost will be available for apples new video ipod. episodes will go on sale for $1.99 on itunes the day after they are broadcast. for abc and its parent walt disney co., the bet is that the new technology will bring in more new fans of the programs than will be taken away from watching them on traditional broadcast television. the networks affiliates（广播电视网的成员） were not told the deal was in the works before wednesday, and theyre the people most likely to be concerned about its impact. now the ipod will join digital video recorders and dvds as another way of seeing television programs other than their regularly scheduled times on the abc stations. leon long, chairman of abcs affiliate board said if viewers have the choice of watching desperate housewives on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch ipod screen, they will almost certainly watch it on tv. the ipod option will likely be attractive to people who missed an episode and want to keep up with the story, he said. he noted that two of the three series abc is offering to itunes - the new night stalker is the other - are serials（系列片） that require viewers to follow story lines that play out over several months. at the beginning, the downloads might also appeal to techies who want to try out the new product and might not necessarily be fans of the programs, which could bring these shows a new audience. as for the chance it will pull people away from his station, long said, its certainly a risk but i dont think its a great risk. 57from the passage, we can guess that ?aepisode means a part of a tv show broadcast in several partsbitunes here refers to a
