Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd”, one of the netizens said.In a CCTV news program, many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on peoples waiting times at difficult road crossing from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.However, a survey on Sina suggested that half of the respondents believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard rules. Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. For example, if you jaywalk in Singapore, you may have to stay in prison for three months.But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.（ ）66. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”? A.
