Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd, said a post on Sina Weibo.A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.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 different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear, said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first, someone wrote on his Weibo. Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.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.16 . Which of the following is the Chinese style road crossing?ATo cross a road slowly.BTo follow the basic traffic rules.CTo wait for the traffic light to turn green.DTo cross roads without looking at traffic lights.17 . What does the phrase the team in Paragraph 3 refer to?AA CCTV news program.BA research group at Tongji University.CA post on Sina Weibo.DA daily newspaper.18 . How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?AAbout five minutes.BLess than one minute.CLess than one and a half minutes.DMore than ten minutes.19 . Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo?ABecause people dont pay much attention to rules.BBecause there are too many people on the road.CBecause the red light lasts too long.DBecause people have less patience.20 . The writer suggests that we should _ to solve the problem of jaywalking.Apunish the jaywalkersBreduce (减少) the time of red lightsCignore the traffic rulesDcall on people to obey the traffic rulesThe world would be a very different place if someone hadnt invented the lift. There would be few, if any, high-rise buildings because people would refuse to climb many stairs. By the time workers reached their offices on the top floors of a tower building, it would be time to go home if they were not too tired for the long walk down！The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a flying chair which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these flying chairs built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.21 . The writer thinks that lifts are important today because _.Apeople like playing on themBthey are the best way of using steam powerCwe need them for tall buildings Dworkers are lazy22 . The 12th century priests had a simple lift instead of stairs because _.Athey thought the stairs were brokenBthey liked having stairs and a liftCthe lived at the bottom of a mountainDthey were afraid of killers23 . Villayer thought he would be punished because _.Apoor people could not afford his flying chairBsomeone was hurt in one of his flying chairs Chis flying chair did not work at allDhe ran away with Louis XVIs daughter24 . Steam power meant that _ .Athey did not need a living thing to pull the ropesBElisha Otis could invent a lift that would not fallCthe rope always brokeDthey could use lifts in factories“Youll have to take care of the baby today, a woman told her husband.
