threeyear plan to repair the majority of the countrys “unsafe” bridges.According to official statistics from last year，of the 500，000 bridges nationwide，some 6，200 were classified as unsafe.If left unrepaired，these bridges may collapse at any time.The plan says that on its completion in 2010，all bridges over trunk roads at or above provincial level will be 100 percent sound，while those linking counties and townships will also be made safe.It is expected the ambitious plan will help improve the safety and efficiency of our transit system，contributing to economic growth and a better

of collapse.Last but not least，we should divert our zeal (热情)for constructing new bridges to maintaining and strengthening the aging ones，as a great proportion of them are in a poor condition.Regular and careful inspections as well as quick repair work should be put high on the agendas(议程)of transportation authorities nationwide.1Of all the bridges，_ are considered to have potential safety

been made clear.BThe bridge had no structural defects.CWhile the accident happened，the weather wasnt fine.DThe bridge is an aging one and in poor condition.4What can we infer from the passage？AIt was
